Melete Lesson Builder - Overview

Melete allows instructors to publish learning sequences that can be created by using a rich text editor, uploading learning objects, or pointing to existing URL resources. Instructors can design content that supports instructor facilitated learning or system managed self-study. Lessons can be released automatically based on start and stop dates. Melete supports IMS Content Packaging and SCORM 2004 export. Future features include conditional release of lesson sequences to students based on completion of tasks. Melete stores its content in a private area of content hosting.

The tool consists of four components: Student View / Author / Manage / Preferences.

Student View
----------------------

Allows instructors to preview their learning sequences as they will appear to students.

Narrowing down to one module....

Author View
----------------------

Instructors can add, edit, or delete content sections, indent sections, store modules to use another term.

Additionally, from this view, instructors can set start and stop dates for all their modules and add 'next steps' (instructions to guide learning on content progression).

When authoring content or uploading or linking to existing content, instructors have the option to set a license for the materials (resources per section) that they publish in the Melete Lesson Builder.

Manage View
----------------------

In this section, instructors can sort modules and sections, restore inactivated modules, and import or export IMS Content Packaging files.

Preferences View
---------------------

Instructors can select a default editor from the ones deployed. The default editor is global across the instructor's Melete instances, in all his/her courses. Additionally, instructors can select the default view for their modules in the Table of Contents (expanded or collapsed).

Future preferences include the ability to set one's default license preference, number of days to clear recycle bin, and much more.

Other
----------------------

Other features of Melete include IMS Content Packaging, Import from Site, and integration with Sakai's roles. IMS CP Import / Export allows porting and sharing of content (see image).

Additionally, instructors can use Import from site (under Site Info):
