User Feedback and Bug Reports

Post Beta Use Cases (8/06)

  1. "I'm working with K12 teachers, doing professional development workshops that have them creating web pages in the Instructional Architect, which has installed Shibboleth. After the workshops, we'd like to offer some virtual support or way for teachers to interact around using their lessons in the classroom. It would be nice to use EV for this, and if Shibb were installed, then that's one less login that teachers have to go through. Down the road, it would be nice to put links to an EV discussion right next to the resources they create." (sg)
  2. Potential for private internal blogs for pathways (em)

New Intro text

[REVISION COMPLETE] Introducing The Experimental [fixed] Version of Expert Voices (cmm/em) [should label dev]

Welcome to Expert Voices. Currently teachers and volunteers from NSDL Pathways Projects are assisting NSDL Core Integration developers in testing the system by participating in Expert Voices discovery team conversations. Discovery teams are typically composed of any combination of content experts, instructors, librarians, curriculum developers, or other experts who coordinate and moderate blog discussions by posing initial topics or questions, providing new blog entries, and responding to comments and questions. You may add your comments to interesting conversations now underway including: Boneyard Science: Investigating Forensics <http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/k12forensics/>; Teaching Measurement at the Middle School Level <http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/measuringmiddlelevel/>; Presentation of Math on the Web <http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/mathonweb/>, and The NSDL News Topic Center <http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/newstopiccenter/>.

Expert Voices uses weblog technology to support collaborative STEM conversations among content experts, scientists, teachers, and students from key NSDL audience groups: K12 teachers, university faculty, librarians, and library builders. Moderated conversations are designed to tie NSDL resources to science news and add context for resources that enhance discovery, selection and use. The public beta version of Expert Voices will be released in Fall 2006.
