Some of the programming design decisions reflected:
- The architecture adheres more to the "model-view-adapter" convention, where the view is unaware of the source of data and the model is unaware of how any data might be presented. The controllers are go-betweens.
- A "theme template" presents the organizing pages for a course, in a visual style consistent with the main CodeIgniter site.
- A "show template" presents a learning activity as a slideshow suited to presentation or print, using the S5 framework from Eric Meyer.
- A base controller takes care of assembling finished pages, using the master template.
- Using the template parser eliminates PHP code from the views, where possible.
- View fragments are used to style single "records" on their own, improving cohesion.
- An ".htaccess" file is incorporated, to configure Apache to remote index.php from any URLs.
- The site is XML-driven, abstracting as much as possible so that the webapp can be used for other courses. XML was chosen over an RDB because of the rich data structures it can support.
