[Building Sakai] Capturing real time data

[Mark Breuker]

Hi Thomas,

Seems like you are developing something quite similar. We currently capture the following events in our activity stream:

- announcements
- profile2 status updates
- assignment (1 & 2) evaluations
- mneme evaluations
- forum posts

I don't know all the technical implementation details so I'll have to ask one of our developers.

@Mihai: can you briefly explain how our activity stream is implemented? Also is the code in our local repo or in MSUB?

I'm also CC-ing Alan because he is involved in the TinCan API work.

Cheers,

Mark

Mark,

We are developing and "EDU Activity Stream", where we want to aggregate certain Sakai data such as a student's course announcements etc.

Best,

Hi Thomas,

We have done something like this to populate our activity stream we show on the dashboard. I know the University of Amsterdam is developing an integration with TinCan API that sends TinCan statements to an external Learning Record Store for analytics purposes.

May I ask why you want to send data to an outside system?

Cheers,

Mark

Onderwerp: [Building Sakai] Capturing real time data

Hello,

We are trying to find a method to capture Sakai data as it is created, in real time, and send it to an external system.

e.g.
Instructor creates a new announcement. As the announcement is created, we want to capture that data/event and send it to an external system.

Possible solutions:

1. Write a component that listens on Sakai events and extracts the needed data as the events occur.

2. Write DB triggers on selected tables, e.g. Announcements, and capture and send the data that way.

Has anybody in the Sakai community tried doing something like this?

Best,
-- Thomas
