Workshops

Workshops will happen in the two weeks after the conference. They will be scheduled as part of the first session at the summit. Please join us at the planning session. We like to ensure that as many of you as possible can make it to the workshops.

The following workshops have been submitted:

  • Accessibility
    We would like to coordinate the ongoing accessibility efforts in the opencast community and discuss options to additional evaluation and development efforts.
  • Workflow Configuration in JSON
    Currently, the workflow configuration panels are defined in HTML in the workflow definition files. These HTML definitions cannot be displayed and parsed correctly by the new implementation of the admin-UI. That’s why, we propose a JSON definition of these configuration panels to simplify the parsing and displaying in React.js. In this workshop we aim to define a concept for these configuration options.
  • Integration of Opencast in Moodle
    In this workshop, I’ll show how to configure Opencast and Moodle for a seamless integration. In the demonstration the newest features will also be presented. After the presentation, we will have time to discuss the usability of the Moodle plugins and the roadmap for future development.
  • Integration of Opencast in ILIAS
    In this workshop, I’ll show how to configure Opencast and ILIAS for a seamless integration. In the demonstration the newest features will also be presented. After the presentation, we will have time to discuss the usability of the ILIAS plugin and the roadmap for future development.
  • Opencast Annotation Tool – A common way forward
    In this workshop I would like to discuss a common way forward for all parties interested in using the Opencast Annotation Tool (OAT). Discussion points would be:
    What is the current state of the OAT?
    What needs to be done to get the OAT to a stable state usable by everyone?
    Which feature request are of interest to multiple parties?
    How can we coordinate future work on this tool?
