[Building Sakai] SharePoint Sakai Web Part?

[csev]

Dan,

If using IMS Basic LTI was an approach that you might find useful, there is a bunch of C# code written to do BasicLTI at this codeplex project:

http://mir.codeplex.com/

It is not itself a "web part" but the Basic LTI bits of it could be made into a web part pretty easily, I would think.

The code is free and open source - it was developed on funds from a Microsoft grant through IMS.

My guess if you wanted to adapt some of this into a webpart you might want to make a new codeplex project or a Sakai contrib project.

At the same time - LTI might not be the use case you really want.   In that case, look at the various clever portal approaches using web services, a Sakai produced RSS feed, or the Indiana approach that made a specialized feed and then you make a Web Part UI that pulls the info in the background and then displays a dashboard.

>> Hello Sakai Developers,
>>  
>> We are working at a Datatel AIS campus and are considering adopting the Datatel Active Campus Portal, a newer product that uses "Web Part" blocks as windows to other systems in its portal design over SharePoint.
>>  
>> I am wondering if anyone has built a web part over SharePoint that talks to Sakai (i.e. - via single-sign-on linkage and perhaps showing an abbreviated list of My Sites + a "My Workspace" link) or if anyone is even considering it. Perhaps a collaboration opportunity here?
>>  
>> Please let me know if you're aware or interested in such efforts.
