ICE (Integrated Content Environment)

Integrated Content Environment (ICE) was an open source project of the Learning Resources Development (LRD) unit at the University of Southern Queensland. The content management system allowed users to convert content authored in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Writer into self-contained course websites using the IMS format. The ICE authoring environment enabled: Basic generic formatting of a document using styles for headings and other structural elements Pedagogical elements such as learning outcomes, lists of readings and activities Piece-by-piece course construction with immediate feedback about the web and print views Modular collaborative and distributed authoring Revision control Content reuse Basic print and web/CD publishing under author control Common/generic content ICE is no longer running.
