  1. FREMA: e-Learning Framework Reference Model for Assessment Yvonne Howard David Millard Hugh Davis Gary Wills Lester Gilbert Learning Societies Lab University of Southampton, UK

  2. Background • What is FREMA? • JISC funded Project between Southampton, Strathclyde and Hull • Aim to produce a Reference Model of the e-Learning Assessment Domain • To aid interoperability and aid in the creation of Assessment Services for the e-Framework • What is a Reference Model for Assessment? • Assessment is a broad and complex domain • Not enough to describe and define a set of services • Need a proper audit trail of decision making • Start by defining the domain • Work up through use cases to services (and example implementations) • An evolving model • Allow the Community to contribute to every stage

  3. Gap Analysis Use Cases Use Cases Use Cases Common Usage Patterns Anatomy of FREMA Reference Model • Domain Definition • Overview of the domain, and how projects and standards fit within it • Identifying Common Usage Patterns • Scoping the FREMA Project • Developing Use Cases • Formal descriptions of usage patterns • Gap Analysis • Mapping of Use Cases to the Services in ELF Reference Impl’ • Service Profiles • Formal descriptions of those services Service Profiles • Example Implementation • Of key/core services • Examples • Validation • Resource Assessment Domain Definition

  4. Semantic Wiki • Used to build a semantic wiki (a wiki in which all the pages and links are typed) • Can model all the levels of the Reference Model • Enables Smart Searching and Analysis • Semantic Search • Dynamic Gap Analysis • Concept maps • Open editing, but with Administrator controls

  5. Analysis Tools: Gap Analysis

  6. Service Usage Model • Describes a scenario in which services work together • Use Case Diagram • Set of Abstract Logical Service Expressions • Interaction Diagram

  7. SUM: Description • Formal as a Use Case Diagram • Informal as a Narrative Description

  8. SUM: Structure and Organisation

  9. Service Expression • Logical, abstract description

  10. SUM: Functionality • Workflow and processes • Semi-formalised as a UML Interaction Diagram

  11. Scenario: Technical Developer Will, Technical Developer ‘I want to lookup use cases and scenarios to help me design my application. This will help me to define my footprint in the assessment domain. I see there are some web services I could re-use but some are missing. What standards can I use when writing my own web services to ensure that I can interoperate with the web services I’ve chosen?’

  12. Key Outcomes • The Community Reference Model itself • A sustainable community resource • An agile approach to service design and specification • Service Usage Models and Service Expressions: • Summative End-to-end • Peer Review
