| Within SmileyTutor an elaborate item allocation algorithm has been established for assigning the next drill to a student and a correspondingly elaborate weighting mechanism for grading has been established to emphasise learning-by-doing rather than examining students. | ||

| The approaches taken by SmileyTutor and OpenEdu are fundamentally different. |

How? Aren't we planning to do the same (and already are doing it for the Operating Systems course)?

I wouldn't know how to answer this question. We should ask @gstefans

OK, I suppose more detail should be added. The SmileyTutor approach is mostly about (drill) items,
(1) storing them, and
(2) presenting to students using a very elaborate (randomly chosen) item-allocation-algorithm and
(3) grading them using a (randomly chosen and weighted) grading mechanism which allows people to start ignorant but learn
(4) use SmileyCoin as an incentive system
(5) controlling every aspect of every piece of functionality using parameters which can be set random for each student, leading to large data sets which are used for statistical analyses in research papers
Apart from SmileyCoin (4), all of this is a minor (nonexistent?) part of OpenEdu.
The old tutor-web used to also deal with general content storage, and this had much more overlap with the OpenEdu concept. However, this has been deleted from the most recent tutor-web version - so beta.tutor-web.net currently just links to a pdf file stored in the old tutor-web.net, which will eventually become obsolete.

| ### Using OpenEdu as content storage: Course notes | ||

| Once course notes have been set up in OpenEdu along with a compiled PDF file, it is trivial to insert a link to the PDF file from SmileyTutor. |

Ideally we wouldn't store binary files (such as PDFs) on GitHub, but rather implement some sort of a builder to create it, host it on a given platform, and then point SmileyTutor to that generated PDF instead.

Fair enouth - can you please suggest a better wording?
