Figure 1-1 High-Level Overview of OSL

The centerpiece of OSL is the Learning and Teaching Tool (LT). It is the application that is synonymous with OSL from a student, teacher, and parent perspective.

It is recommended that some form of Business Intelligence is applied to provide a range of reports and analytics. Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) is pre-integrated with OSL to provide this functionality without the need for any bespoke integration effort. OSL also ships with some OBIEE dashboards that are accessed, in context, directly from the LT.

Content management is required to support some use-cases within the Learning Tool. OSL is pre-integrated with Oracle Universal Content Management (UCM) to provide this functionality^Foot 1 .

The LT cannot function without necessary "reference data". For related information, see Chapter 2. The OSL Learning Tool Administration user interface (LTAdmin) use to maintain this data (except for users, see Chapter 3. However, it is expected that much of this data would be maintained through integration with third-party source systems through the Data Loading Services (DLS), see Chapter 4.

Footnote Legend

Footnote 1:  As OSL 3.1.3 is de-coupled from the Content Management System (CMS), it may be deployed with a (non-Oracle) third-party CMS. Integration with a third-party CMS and the subsequent support, is the responsibility of the implementation party.
