Atom

• Atom was our preferred choice because
• Its simple
• Complex (and unique) objects can degrade to
  simpler objects

Export

1. Map the ePortfolio objects to LEAP2a types
2. Go through the ePortfolio objects one by one
3. Standard URIs for IDS allow us to link to objects
   that we havent created yet
4. Generate the XML
5. We havent done a zip export (yet)

Export

• A quick demo

5
Import

• A two stage process
• Upload the data
• Select what elements to keep

6
Import stage 1

• Upload the data
• Tables that replicate the LEAP2a structure
• The link types are less important to us
  (parent/child references are more useful)
• Make checks for duplicate records errors in the
  XML

7
Import stage 2

• Select what to keep
• A wizard-type approach
• Choose records based on the ePortfolio tools

A few notes on importing

1. Its a long way from being complete
2. We felt that it was important to allow students
   to take ownership of what gets imported
3. This is how weve chosen to do it and it might
   not be the right solution for everyone

Import

• A quick demo
• (bearing in mind that its not finished)
