- Discussion
- Wrap up
For this meeting we’ll be focusing on new functionality under development .
- “Connections” – a new way of more formally connecting different groups together so they could more easily see activity happening on different connected sites.
- Possible examples:
- Multiple sections of the same course
- Course with connected student ePortfolios
- Sections of City Tech 101
- Are there use cases for this that you can imagine for yourself, or colleagues?
- Possible examples:
- More fine-grained privacy options within a single site or profile
- Private docs, Private files
- Ability to choose more privacy options for individual posts or pages: Mockup
- Questions? Use cases?
- Non-active groups
- Came out of our discussions last semester!
- Admins could define groups as ‘Not Active’, which would add a ‘flag’ to the profile and automatically switch them to non-joinable.
- Mockup
- Non-active groups would be pushed to the bottom of My OpenLab
- Could exclude non-active groups in a search
- Activity block and widget
- Also came out of our discussions last semester!
- Would create an Activity Block and widget that you could add to your site to show the activity feed from the profile.
- Reckoning plugin
- Inspired by Kate’s request for something that would help avoid too much tedious manual counting.
- If it seems OK, we could hopefully test it out in our next meeting.
