The Learning Maps Authoring Tool is a GUI that enables users to construct visual learning pathways using learning standards stored in the Learning Resource Index. In addition to being a useful application in its own right, the LMAT serves as an exemplar application detailing the use of the LRI API. Initial development of the Learning Maps Authoring Tool was sponsored by inBloom, Inc. and is released under the Apache license.
The LMAT is a PHP application that runs under Apache. You'll need to have the following to get started:
- Apache
- PHP5
- Curl
- PHP Curl library (available as package php5-curl for Ubuntu or Debian)
To install, place the LMAT files in a folder accessible to Apache (e.g., under the Document Root or elsewhere). Edit the source to point to the Learning Resource Index server you want to connect to.
