ivela's Issues

Review Course Structure

- Review Course Structure:

* Review layout for the course content window for better usability.
* Author of the content has to take care of all iVela related javascripts,
css and applets themself. A framework should be created to ease the
maintainability and creation for the author. (e.g. dictionary, sound
recorder, audio player, ajax access to iVela Content, etc..)
* Control of the course flow is enforced by the author, ivela should take
care of it. 
* Course content is not accessible by web services, third party application
have no way of accessing the content. 
* RenderServlet is not secure, anyone has access to it and user may see the
url by opening the frame in other window. 
* Course actions are not protected, any user may access its contents though
a javascript prevents them of seeing it all. 
* Courses should have a default css but allow overriding by the author or
application accessing the course.
* Transform the course content in resources and minimize the author
obligations to keep structured folders and xmls for its contents. The
content should not be tied to a course but by a resource ID and anyone that
has access to it may issue a GET. 
* Others....

Error at "Content Package" pagination

The way of how "Content Package" content is displayed today is based in
only one index page, then several "content injections" thru showPage() js
function. This way, causes a wrong re-direction with pagination buttons.

Bread-crumb too simple/short

The bread-crumb should have more details, specially when user is navigating 
inside a course/unit/lesson, the bread-crumb should show info of these 3 levels.

Automatically verify and install system dependencies

A registered user may not be able to reproduce or record audio during 
course execution. This is due to dependency of java applets to run with 
JRE 6.
Provide a way to verify if it is installed and if it is the correct 
version in the login page with a warning signal. If user ignores it, 
verify also when loading the applets.

Help on getting a "Hello World" version of ivela

Hey guys,

I just spend the day trying to get ivela up and running for testing purposes, 
with no success so far. I went through the steps at 
http://code.google.com/p/ivela/wiki/Developer_Guide_Eclipse on an installation 
of OS X. There are a lot of manual steps and I wasn't actually surprised that 
it did not work out in the end.

Before I start another lengthy debugging session to find the error: Is there 
any "Quick and Dirty" way to setup ivela just to play around with it? Maybe a 
simple .war file and a five step database setup? Even a vmware-Image with a 
running installation would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your answer!

Cheers,
Sebastian

Review Course Structure, navigation control and general issues

All tree views in Admin module are slow and they should be revisited to
improve performance. (Overview/ People/ Course and Grade)

Interface improvements

Update Ivela interface to provide a more 'fit' visual.
Today, to see the courses content, the student needs to scroll down the
browser page. This is due to a large quantity of header information which
could be smaller and show only what is important for the student.

Challenges results

As you may know, Challenges are the xml exercises embeded inside 
Content-Package. All ´exercises´ into english course are Challenges. 
As you also know the results of challenges can be viewed without reload, with 
css boxes with green or red and the score in %. With all that said, the issue 
is: Add a new way to show challenge results - i.e. With just a positive or 
negative arrows/icons/images. However the ol way should be exist. The admin 
user need  to be able to setup the result way.

Refactory Mailer Structure

- Mailer should:
1.) Work in the background
2.) Be able to schedule events
3.) be able to retry failed attempts to send
4.) Able to mail for multiple recipients at the same time
5.) Be configurable


We should implement a subscription model for the Resources in iVela so user
would be able to receive updates for topics, units, messages, etc..

Password level at registration

At registration form, the logic does not support a weak password. It must
be a worry of user, not form software.
