Updating and redesigning the Gismo tool

Objectives

New version of GISMO using State-of-art web technology

Standard interface design to reduce inteoperability problem

Server Load optimization Maintenance cost reduction Version compatibility

Updating and redesigning the Gismo tool

GISMO

A graphical interactive student monitoring and tracking system tool

Entirely based on Java Applet Generates reports retrieving data from

Moodle Tool to examine social, cognitive, and

behavioural aspects of students.

Analysis and Design

Analysis is performed from three different

perspectives: Technological Graphical Socio-economic

Updating and redesigning the Gismo tool

Technological-Analysis

Shortcomings from technical point of view Programmer dependency More efforts for little changes Adaptability/interoperability problem Exception handling Version Incompatibility High server load

Updating and redesigning the Gismo tool

Technological-Design (1/2)

Possible solutions Data representation in a standard

format and retrieval of data using a simple parser.

Knowledge of XML data is sufficient for any modification.

Standard interface for retrieving XML data.

Technological-Design (2/2)

Error handling using standard Document Type Definition (DTD).

Increasing server utilization by pulling XML data and generating charts in client side.

Graphical-Analysis

Shortcomings from graphical point of view Representation is complex Dot notation Emphasize on coding and DB access Background knowledge Scope for more clarification

Graphical-Design (2/2)

Minimization of scattered dot notation

Updating and redesigning the Gismo tool

Socio-economic Analysis

Social and economical challenges High maintenance cost can be reduced

provided developers can entirely focus on “what to represent” rather than “how to represent”.

Satisfaction on customization can be improved by understanding the motivation behind the changes.

Conclusions

New version will lead to more features like interoperability through standardized interfaces, notion of representation and enhanced user interactions.

Cost effective and time efficient solution supporting the vision…”do a lot more with a lot less”.

New reports can enhance the observation angle of instructors.
