Publish as OER-Button for Objects

1 Initial Problem

Currently, the publishing of OER from ILIAS can only be initiated implicitely by choosing an appropriate copyright licence. This is less than intuitive for authors of learning content.

Additionally, authors might not always be aware that choosing a licence leads to their content being published. On the 'Metadata'-tab of objects one is at least warned about this (with an easily ignorable modal), but if the licence is e.g. chosen on creation of File objects there is no such indication at all.

2 Conceptual Summary

There should be an explicit 'Publish as OER'-button on the LOM Digest of objects, which shows their publishing status and offers related actions.

Manual publishing should be compatible to the OER Harvester, but they should be considered mutually exclusive. It should be easy to switch between the two options, but there is no need to specially consider the user experience for the case where both are used in parallel.

Maybe: only fully automated publishing for the OER Harvester, no editorial step?

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

3.2 User Interface Details

If enabled in the Administration, the LOM Digest screen of eligible objects (i.e. harvestable by the OER Harvester) should offer a 'Publish as OER'-button. This button opens a modal showing the publishing status of the object, and context-dependent actions.

• Unpublished: Not yet entered into the publishing workflow.
  • Action Submit for Review: links the object in the Harvesting-Category, creates a public access export (exactly like the harvesting-part of the OER Harvester). Deactivated if an invalid copyright is selected.
• Under Review: The object has been submitted for review, but is not yet published via the OAI-PMH interface.
  • Action Publish: Compiles the object's LOM set for the OAI-PMH interface (exactly like the publishing-part of the OER Harvester), moves the object to the Publishing-Category.
  • Action Reject: Deletes the object from the Harvesting-Category, the object has again the status Unpublished. Only offered in the Harvesting-Category.
  • Action Withdraw: Same as Reject, but only offered outside the Harvesting-Category.
• Published: The object is made available via the OAI-PMH interface.
  • Action Withdraw: Same as above, but also removes the object from the OAI-PMH interface.

Use the new nomenclature (Harvesting-Category = Editorial something?), what about fully automatic publishing, show only two statuses?
