OSP

How do I use OSP Forms, Wizards, Matrices and Templates from this library in my instance of OSP?

The OSP tools allow you to import and export data structures into a zip file format. To import a zip file that you find in this library you need to download it from this web site, upload it into resources in an instance of Sakai and import the zip file from the appropriate tool. 

To import an OSP form:

LaGuardia Community College

So many students come from so many different places to study together at LaGuardia (over 160 different countries at last count) that we call ourselves "The World’s Community College." Being The World’s Community College is not just a statement about who we are, it's a statement about who we aspire to be. Our goal is to educate leaders for a global workforce and a global citizenry.

University of Delaware

University of Delaware Logo

Located in Newark, Delaware, USA, University of Delaware enrolls over 16,000 undergraduates and nearly 3,000 graduate students. As a state-assisted, privately controlled institution, the University seeks to enroll students from diverse backgrounds and a wide variety of geographic regions.

University of Delaware has successfully implemented Sakai 2.5.0 at the beginning of the fall semester of 2008, and is still piloting OSP.

What's the difference between a Matrix and a Wizard in OSPortfolio?

A matrix is a two-dimensional wizard. Really.

  • A hierarchical wizard is a tree-type structure of categories with nodes that lead to "wizard pages".
  • A sequential wizard is just a flat step-by-step sequence of "wizard pages".
  • A matrix is a row-and-column grid of cells, each of which takes you to a "wizard page".

That's it!

How to develop an OSPortfolio template

How do I develop a workflow for creating an XSL ePortfolio template inside Sakai and OSP?

This is a two-step process. First you'll need to get your hands on the XML that you'll be creating your XSL for (you do this by creating a pass-through template so you'll have the resulting XML to work with) Second, you can develop the XSL and your XPATH expressions on your local computer with minimal fuss.

How do I join the Sakai or OSPortfolio community?

Short version:

http://collab.sakaiproject.org/

Long version:

If you're tinkering with Sakai or its Electronic Portfolio "Open Source Portfolio (OSP)" you might have questions -- or you might find yourself wanting to contribute back to the community (documentation, quality-assurance testing, project management, java or XML coding...)

What is the relationship between OSP and the Sakai Project and its Sakai Foundation?

Open Source Portfolio (OSP) is a set of integrated tools that live inside the full Sakai Collaboration and Learning Environment (CLE).

OSP and Sakai are both community source projects of the non-profit Sakai Foundation.

See the FAQ: Can I use OSP without using Sakai?

Can I use OSP without using Sakai?

in

Yes.

Although Open Source Portfolio runs in and depends on the base Sakai Collaboration and Learning Environment, you can enable and use OSP tools without turning on or using any Sakai collaboration or course tools.

Alternatively, you can enable and use only those Sakai tools that may be useful in your specific portfolio environment, for example, Sakai's announcements, mailling list/archive or calendaring tools.
