<title>Graphical Representation of Data (1 reply)</title><link>http://elumen.element-u.com/forum/read.php?5,100,100#msg-100</link><description><![CDATA[ <span style="color: #006633">This might go under &quot;Mashups,&quot; but also under &quot;Requested Features&quot;... and yet I am putting it here first under &quot;3rd Party Tools.&quot;<br /><br />I just checked out the &quot;curriculum map&quot; feature of eLumen, and it returned some interesting results, mostly about counts of assessments. This reminded me of the number of times I have thought about what any of our data could look like, were some creative, graphically-oriented db person to put their mind to it. Imagine, for example, our 'intended outcomes' or 'intended abilities' being mapped to a graphical layout like that used by Steihl and Lewchuk's mapping approaches:</span><br /><br /><img src="http://www.outcomesnet.com/img/Mapping_p101_40per.png" class="bbcode" alt="http://www.outcomesnet.com/img/Mapping_p101_40per.png" /><br /><br /><span style="color: #006633">This is just one sample, but imagine the possibilities of how both quantitative and qualitative data might be very effectively presented in unexpected ways:</span><br /><br /><img src="http://www.math.yorku.ca/SCS/Gallery/images/bread.jpg" class="bbcode" alt="http://www.math.yorku.ca/SCS/Gallery/images/bread.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #336600"><strong class="bbcode">And then there is the mashup potential....</strong></span><br /><span style="color: #CC6600"><center class="bbcode"><strong class="bbcode">The following is a clickable link ---&gt;</strong></center></span><br /><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.wefeelfine.org/"><strong class="bbcode">We Feel Fine: A Mashup of Emotions on the Web!</strong> </a><br /><br /><span style="color: #336633"><strong class="bbcode">Just thinking--- 'graphical representation of eLumen-generated evidence'</strong></span>]]></description>

<title>Banner 2 eLumen (4 replies)</title><link>http://elumen.element-u.com/forum/read.php?5,6,6#msg-6</link><description><![CDATA[ I created a tool called Banner 2 eLumen to crunch BANNER extracts F02 and CR into a usable XML file. The program also validates the resulting XML against the XSD of your choice to ensure proper format. I've gotten clearance from our IT director to release the program into the wild under an open source license, I just haven't had time to look into the available licenses and select the best one.<br /><br />But do drop me a line if you'd like to use this VERY ALPHA software to create your import file for eLumen. It needs a lot of work, but just like bacteria, in the right environment it really gets the job done quickly.]]></description>
