Navigator Library

What should application developers (who will extend Navigator and make contributions to core solution — more of engineering team extension) should be prepared for?

Partners should have a good understanding of microservices architecture
Partners should have a good understanding of RESTful API design
Partners should have a good understanding of Java-based implementations
Partners should have a good understanding of front-end implementations based on EmberJS

What should Technology Partners (who will use Navigator in closed environment while extending workflows) should be prepared for?

Partners need to have an understanding of SSO models and should be using an identity provisioning system that can be configured at Navigator for SSO flows.
Partners should be able to share their roster data in OneRoster standards format, or via ClassLink Roster API.
Partners should be able to understand competency-based learning models, bring in the frameworks of interest, and be able to map the frameworks to other similar frameworks.
Partners should be able to identify, create, and curate content relevant to the competency model of interest; and be able to setup content working together with other NLC Partners.
Partners should be able to use shared API that requires an understanding of RESTful services and sync/async mechanisms to extend any workflows in their products to bring Navigator into play.
Partners should be able to push data (either as xAPI or Navigator specific data-in format) via shared API.
Partners should be able to sync data (either LTI outcomes or xAPI or Navigator specific data-out format) to their system via a shared API model.
Partners should be able to design deploy architecture based on guidance from other NLC Partners and should have expertise on AWS services, hosting & infra-manage.

What is a course editor? What are the big questions?

A course Editor is the Library tool that one can use to build a course on the Navigator. Big questions are more from a Creator’s perspective to define the broad coverage of a particular course in terms of what it addresses. They are not relevant from a learners perspective.

Do we need to put up relevant assessment questions for every file uploaded in a course so that it can help decide which content in the course the learner needs to go through?

The approach in Navigator course building is to ensure there is an assessment (with a set of min 5 questions if possible) for each competency/lesson to be studied. The individual questions can cover the sub-lessons/ micro-competencies covered in the particular competency/lesson.

How do we integrate courses/content created in different/own LMS Platforms?

You can link these courses/content as an external collection/assessment.

Will Courses created in Gooru work on any LMS platform?

As of now we are not supporting. We are working towards providing support.

What Framework do we follow in general?

Currently we follow the Common Core Framework for US and NCERT for Indian Standards.

Can SCORM content be played?

As of now we are not supporting SCORM content. We are working towards providing support.
