Welcome to Classcaster.netSubmitted by elmer on Thu, 2006-06-08 22:04.
This is the community site for Classcaster. Classcaster is a course blogging system that provides faculty, librarians, and staff with a new way to interact with students and communities. A Classcaster blog provides authors with tools for posting not only traditional blog articles but also tools for podcasting and sharing any documents and/or files with students and communities. Here you can find out what it takes to run your own Classcaster site, get links to the necessary software, and download some magic glue to hold it all together. We are just getting the community going, so please register if you are interested. Classcaster Plugin For LifetypeSubmitted by elmer on Wed, 2006-10-18 16:10.
This plugin adds some very basic telephony podcasting support into Lifetype. By itself the plugin does nothing but adds a table to the database and creates an interface for collecting a telephone number and PIN. When used with the XMLRPC client for Asterisk this plugin allows the direct posting of recorded telephone calls to a specified LT blog. Purists will note that this not really a plugin for LT but a sort of hack into the system. The outline of the actual plugin is included, and will someday be implemented. Classcaster XMLRPC clientSubmitted by elmer on Thu, 2006-10-05 15:17.
Here's the magic Perl script that takes an MP3 recorded by Asterisk and inserts it into Lifetype. You will need to add the database information for your Classcaster system and adopt the URL to your scheme. Astute readers will note that this is a pretty basic XML-RPC client that is easily adapted for use with other systems. Personally, I've gotten it to work with Wordpress and Drupal without many changes beyond the URLs and endpoints. Any system with the Metaweblog API installed will know what to do with the information this client puts out. Building your own Classcaster system, Part 1Submitted by elmer on Tue, 2006-06-27 21:50.
This is part 1 of 2 on building your own Classcaster system. Here we cover basic installation and configuration of the open source packages that power the Classcaster system. If you follow along you will have a nice blogging system and PBX running on an enterprise level Linux server by the end of Part 1. Part 2 explains how to tie it all together into a Classcaster system. For the operating system I am recommending CentOS 4.x. Centos is the open source version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and it provides a well maintained and stable platform for Classcaster. Get the server disk ISO as it has just what you need to get started on a single CD and doesn't include distracting stuff like X. Classcaster ResourcesSubmitted by elmer on Fri, 2006-06-09 13:25.
