Configure external systems
Upload videos
The CHiLO Lecture, which is a series of 1-minute nano-lecture video clips, is embedded in e-Book, in the case of EPUB3 CHiLO Book.
On the other hand, that is delivered by the video-sharing website such as YouTube, in the case of the Web version CHiLO.
従って、Web CHiLO Bookを作成する場合は、lecture videosをVideo-sharing websiteにアップロードします。
また、アップロードしたビデオのvideo-idは、CHiLO ProducerのSpeadsheetに記載する必要があるので、アップロードしたビデオ毎に記録しておきます。
Add badges
CHiLO Book毎に発行されるバッジをsmall badge、シリーズ内の全て、あるいは特定のCHiLO Bookのバッジを獲得すると発行されるバッジをBig badge と呼びます。
small badgeは、Moodleのcourse badgeに相当します。一方、big badgeは、Moodleのsite badgeに相当します。
Moodleのcourse badge, site badgeの設定は、次をごらんください。

Create Learning Community
Functions of CHiLO Community は、SNS such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or LinkdInへのリンクをCHiLO Bookに埋め込むことで実装します。
CHiLO Bookに、SNSへのリンクを埋め込むには、利用したいSNSのグループを作成し、そのURLを後に説明するCHiLO Producerに記載します。
