Adaptive Section for the Page Editor

1 Summary

The "Section" component in the ILIAS Page Editor can carry preconditions, such that creating adaptive learning content with the page editor is easier.

2 Problem Statement

Designing adaptive learning scenarios in the ILIAS page editor is cumbersome, and requires in-depth knowledge about preconditions, RBAC, and the page editor, and how they interact. This makes those scenarios hard to configure, and hard to maintain.

Currently, the established mechanism to make page editor content change with the learning progress of users is as follows:

In this way, the page editor section is either shown or not shown depending on the learning progress of the user. This is quite complicated, and error prone.

3 Concept

The "Section" component in the ILIAS Page Editor aquires a new configuration option "Depends on Preconditions". When activated, preconditions can be configured for the section, analogous to how preconditions can be added to repository objects. The section is then only visible to users that fulfill the preconditions.

This way, we can cut out the middle man in the current process, no need for "Permission Objects" anymore that only exist to carry preconditions.
