Thanks for the information. After looking into the error a little more it turns out it is the "Microsoft.LearningComponents.Compression.dll" that is causing my issues not the "Microsoft.LearningComponents.dll" as I earlier thought. I am seeing if the GAC suggestion will fly. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is possible but you would need to create a Code Access Security policy file to grant the Microsoft.LearningComponents.dll the rights it needs. If you not a fairly good SharePoint developer I would probably avoid this.

You could always move the DLL into the GAC (c:\windows\assembly) as this would give the DLL full trust without raising the trust level for all assemblies.

Looks like microsoft have been very lazy on this project, maybe beacause its free =/; I have not installed the manager however reading other peoples posts and blogs I dont really want to install it.

I am getting crazy I think, this morning I looked at the UK education team blog:

http://blogs.msdn.com/ukeducationpartnernews/archive/2008/07/02/slk-course-manager.aspx

The screenshots there are totally different than my installation of the course manager yesterday, is this a newer version in the UK than the code on codeplex? Woody1664 do you have the same webparts in your environment that are shown on the blog there?

thanks,

Remco

Remco, the screen shots by Mark at the UK Education blog are exactly what I was expecting. These were demo'd to us before release hence my very real disappointment in what was deployed. I am hoping that they have made a mistake - hence my blog request for have I missed something.

This difference has been raised. waiting for a response.

I agree with Woody1664, I expected more functionalities or I missing a lot of screens.

Here my list of improvements:

- I cannot assign a group activities to students! That's strange because the I love the grouping of activities but if I need the assign them one by one
- I can't select and student / group in the activity
- The strange thing about SLK (especially in business training) is when a new member joins the site I want that the new user has the assignments directly. Now I have to re-assign them to the missing / later students. But this is not possible via the addin but therefore I have to use now the 'old' SLK interface
- I expected more of the gradebook. Especially in Europe (don't known exactly the story in the US) we are not working only with points but also with other variables, this is again not possible
- The strange interface, when I create a new activity and don't insert a end week for example and hit the plus button, I get an error that the end week is needed but my data in the new activity is gone

I really see that SharePoint can be a learning environment, that is still my feeling, but therefore we need to build more functionalities as a partner or by Microsoft. Will this addon be integrated in SLK 1.3.1?

best regards,

Remco

Robert the source code is not available, but you can use a fantastic tool call Reflector which will allow you to inspect the code. As this is a CodePlex project I would expect the code to be made available a little later on as was the case with the MLG components - although this is not a given.

I've installed and tested the SLK Course Manager Update (review here http://www.21apps.com/2008/07/slk-course-manager-10-released.html) and I have to say that I an totally unimpressed with what has been provided.

I'm hoping that this is just a partial code drop and we have more to come.

Is it possible to run the Basic Web Player under Medium Trust rather than Full Trust? Any time I lower it to medium trust I get permissions errors that come from the Microsoft.LearningComponents.dll. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi All,

I have installed this Add On onto one of my test servers and got it working apart from one thing.

Every time I add an activity it tells me the due date is in the wrong format. It seems to be putting it into American format. All the sites are set to English UK and the correct regional settings.

New Post: 1.3.1 Final?

simara — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 15:13:48 GMT

I'm also looking for the estimated release date of 1.3.1. We are planning a big deployment and would like to know if we deploy 1.3.0 or wait a little longer for 1.3.1.

How do migrations look like if we deploy 1.3.0, would an update be possible without loosing asignments, history, and current state?

New Post: Scores for assignments

RWhite — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 11:17:43 GMT

Hi
I am using CourseLab to create assignments for SLK. If I create an assignment with 2 modules where one module has a test and the other doesn't then the maximum score I can get in SLK is 50%, even if I set the maximum score of the module without a test to be 0. Why does SLK not realise that 0 out of 0 is 100% for that module? Is there any way to change this?

New Post: reviewing submitted assignments

antwade — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 10:21:10 GMT

Hi,

Ive successfully installed the alpha slk 1.3.1 and so far its working great, the only issue we have is that regardless what content creator we use, we are unable to review the submitted assignment.

It scores correctly but the ability to be able to review the students answers is definately a must.

Iv seen several other people having this problem using the 1.3.0.1 and 1.3.1 alpha version, and as far as i can see there has been no resolution.

this is the last bug we have to overcome.

if anyone can help i would appreciate it.

Hi Viron,

I had the same problem, so I installed a clean english machine with MOSS english, SLK 1.3.1 Alpha and run the setup again. Before (on my other 3 testenvironments) I installed the cour manager in the central admin and configured the database the script didn't installed tables in SQL and didn't changed the registry. With the clean machine and running everything under 1 account I was succesfull to install and run the course manager, so my advise, first install a clean english machine, if it works there you can give it a try in a Czech environment.

best regards,

Remco

Anybody installed this addon already? I tried it in a testenvironment, but when adding the new webparts to a site I get an unexpected error. When I am not a instructor the webpart works and displays: You are not an instructor. But when I give the testuser instructor rights the unexpected error comes up. When I look at the database, there are no tables in the new database, is that normal? I am using the SLK 1.3.1 Alpha and tried it on several machines.

Any ideas are any succesfull installations?

thanks in advance,

Remco Ploeg

Nice, except it requires an Alpha version (Alpha 1.3.1) of SLK to be installed and set up as per instructions.

I'd rather wait to see how that Alpha matures, something that'd hopefully also include the drop-box. Once stable and mature I'd revisit this.
