Fluid 2013 Roadmap

UI Options

• Design
  • user testing
  • new implementable wireframes
• Architecture
  • pluggable preferences and panels
  • support for "wizarding"
• Work with Cloud4all teams who will use and extend it:
  • Floating panel (Astea)
  • Preferences Editor/Wizard (Fraunhofer + CERTH)
• Integration with Preferences server
  • includes support for A4A flat preferences transformation
  • define core A4A terms to avoid the crazier sorts of transformations we do currently
• Mobile and responsiveness

Preferences Server

• Stable integration with UI Options
• Integration with OERC and other sites
• Security architecture and road map
  • Integration with OAuth + BDigital's Security Gateway
  • API key system for accessing REST APIs
  • Plan for integrating with Mozilla Persona

Video Player

• Finish the core features
  • Support YouTube videos
  • Awesome-looking fullscreen mode
  • Factoring
  • Bugs
• Determine relationship with UIO and relationship to Infusion
• Integrate everywhere we can

Content Metadata Components

• Automatic generation of metadata
  • extract code and user interface from OER Commons
• Core features:
  • analyse HTML pages for:
    • alt text on images
    • captions for video and audio
    • transcripts for video and audio
• Editing/annotation components
  • Design
  • Build
  • Core features:
    • grade and learning level (select or add new categorization)
    • learning style (same)
    • modes and controls
      • high contrast
      • flexible display
      • keyboard
      • AT API support (i.e. ARIA)
      • I've tested this with an AT? (Link to ask community/vendor for help)
    • alternatives and relationships
      • link to other content, in system or elsewhere
• Harmonize IMS AccessForAll with Registry-based ISO terms

GPII Registry & Unified Listing

• Architecture
• Basic UI rendering support in "Kettle"
• Build skeleton server and mentor Astea to continue developing it

Web App and Browser-based Personalization

• API for web apps to access preferences locally, anonymously
• Jetpack extension to allow the above in Firefox

Personalized search and browse

• API for indexing pages by metadata?
• search by personal need
• browse by personal need
• search & browse by list of needs
• this is probably the hardest to do generically?

Ongoing Accessibility Support, Design, and Capacity-Building

• Inclusive Learning Handbook
  • advice on ePub accessibility
  • new tutorials
• Continuing to help improve OER Commons' accessibility
• Help PhET with Canvas-based accessibility
• Integration with other OER authoring tools and more

Later for VideoPlayer:

• support for described video
• mobile support, starting with iPad
• audio playback

Design:

1. Finish UIO user testing
   • stable wireframes for implementation
   • support for C4A preferences editing efforts
2. Content metadata user interfaces (feedback in an authoring environment so they can see what needs a resource meets)
   • what do editing or annotation UIs look like?
   • is there anything relevant to UIO designs or Vid. player?
     **any overlap or interaction?
3. Learning to Learn: conceptualize and begin designing
4. Implementation (support development and integration teams with design work)
