What is the architecture of the workshops enabling technologies?
The Workshop employs a hybrid model of technologies, the Learning Conductor Suite, to create its instructional environment. The landscape of these technologies is diverse in scope, but meets The Workshop’s overall goals of using open-source software wherever possible and the best tools available to deliver the highest quality instructional environment and content. The prototype of these technologies was completed in November 2000, less than six months after The Workshop commenced operations. The planned review release date of these technologies along with their source code release to our Founding Partners is the third quarter of 2001. Additionally, a light version of these technologies will be developed for course content authoring.
