| Customising LORN objects - A who, what and how of customisation Friday, 17 September, 09:00 AM » 12:00 PM | | | Ever wanted to know what goes on inside those LORN learning objects? Well, it's time to tinker, so grab the gaffa, snaffle some scissors and procure some pencils!
In this workshop, various LORN objects will be subjected to you:
- Restructuring and re-ordering their content;
- Editing their text-based content;
- Removing and replacing images;
- Learning which bits can be chopped and changed and which bits can't; and
- Packing them up again, ready for uploading into a learning or content management system.
You'll also be putting together your own suite of portable tools that will ensure you'll always have what you need to get the job done wherever you are. To take your tools with you on workshop completion, you'll need to bring a USB drive with at least 160Mb free.
