    As i learned in between, i can add pictures to my lessons.

    What i dream of: To be able to add media to all my replies, post etc. (Means without having to put it online elsewhere first)

    On top of that: it would be more than great if we could add these media (pictures, graphs, documents, sound files, podcasts, videos etc) by simply dragging them onto the post/reply/whatelse. Pictures would be resized to fit and show the big version onclick, documents would be stored in a safe place and a thumbnail would expand onclick (Leopard-like) etc.

    As i said – dreams

    Peter we’ve definitely got that on the roadmap! (at least the first part.)

    There’s not good reason not to let people have a full editor for discussion comments, etc.

    The drag-n-drop stuff is complicated, maybe impossible. We’ll see about that.

    One idea concerning usability of the design:

    When i go to the discussion-page, the discussion-tab highlights, a list of discussions shows up. When i choose one discussion, i am transported to this discussion – and the discussion-tab stays highlighted.

    Can you think of a more intuitiv design – for me anyway it was not clear that i have to click the already highlighted tab to come back to the discussion-page with the list of discussions. Perhaps shouldn’t the tab stay highlighted, perhaps you could work with breadcrumbs to show the actual location the user is on …

    i really don’t know, just stumbled upon that…

    Hi, here a little suggestion to enhance the usability of the platform

    in discussions etc the user should be able to reorganize the order of appearance (newest first versus oldest first) and the page-indicator should also be inserted at the top of the page.

    to create lessons for science-subjects it would be great if you had some formel-editor-functionality at hand for the lesson-editor, too (could be substituted by an improved import-functionality though).

    Here is another suggestion from a teacher point of view: Downloadable material The teachers should be enabled to provide their students course-related or lesson-related material for download. This material should be stored on the platform (not elsewhere with linking to this other storage). The material should be linkable so that the teachers can link to the same Material from different lessons and courses

    Here is another suggestion from a teacher point of view: Printerfriendly view of lessons, discussions, tests, perhaps courses

    The students should be enabled to print out nearly everything found on the platform. Perhaps in PDF-Format, or maybe with special print-css.

    The test-area could use some enhancement, i think.

    Besides multiple choice questions think about open questions (without fixed answer but with an answer-text-field and an explanation after completing the test)

    For science-tests the answer also could be a graph, a drawing or something like that.

    For mimicking manipulatives, flash-files or java-applets should be possible (e.g. for combining molecules to test an equation of a chemical reaction, for arranging different parts in a corrrect order etc. )

    There definitely are more things to think about, but i am nearly braindead today – so, just play with my thoughts :-)

    Hi Adam,

    as the tests got mixed up a few times in between, i have a new suggestion: the test-taker should be able to ask for further explanation, and that action should be made as simple as possible.

    Perhaps there are some improvements over the message-model i used now a few times (like clicking into the explanation-area opens a pop-up or a text field to send the question to the creator of the test, giving the creator automatically all infomation about the test-part in question etc etc)

    had some fun tonight while successfully trying to fool the trivia scoring!

    suggestions:

    you should be able to skip a question

    you should be able to restart you personal scoring

    you never should get the same question a second time – not without restarting your personal scoring, anyway

    suggestions for the tests:

    the teacher should be able not only to give explanation but to give an explanation to a question specificly corresponding to the answer the student has chosen, so that the teacher can react appropriately to the specific mistake and the wrong comprehension of the student.

    Who is online?

    Wouldn’t it be a great feature to see a list of the users online at the moment?

    Could be specified to show only the users of those communities (or schools, or courses) you are a member (a leader, a creator) of.

    Could lead to an important increase of messaging and contacts between users, personal and content-related.

    http://www.spinvox.com

    This service allows to speak into the phone and get the words translated into formatted text to receive e.g. as SMS or E-mail or blog-article…

    Is there going to be some integration with other social communities? Facebook, for example.

    Notifications of new messages/tests/courses cross-linked into your profile would be helpful for those who have a social community integrated into their life in one way or another.

    This would also be useful for advertising to other users about learnhub and attract interest from those who otherwise wouldn’t know about it. It would also provide mobile support for notifications for those who use the mobile service to access their facebook profile on their cell/blackberry/mobile pc.

    I know there are cons to this as well. Just thought I’d put this out there and see if there was interest in it.

    The discussion about the way the trivia-quizzes work could be transferred to discuss all the testing:

    Tests, that is my opinion, normally should be redoable.

    The reasons: Given a test should help the student to assess his knowledge about the content of a course or a lesson, the best workflow from a teachers perspective would be:

    The students does the test – The student gets his results – For every answer the student gets some explanation or some links to gain deeper unterstanding of the issue tackled with in the question – The student follows the explanation and the links and learns about the issue – The student does the test again to check if he now gained a deeper understanding.

    For this workflow to work, we need the following design of a test (let us concentrate on multiple-choice-tests here, because otherwise the discussion would be to complex for me to handle in a post)

    First – there is the test – a number of question with multiple choices for answers

    Second – there is the result-page, which for every question does the following

    telling the student if he was right, perhaps with some further explanation why this answer is right.

    When the student answered wrong, the result-page DOESN’T give away the right answer but gives the student some further information about the issue or some links to further investigate the issue. These explanations and links depend on which wrong answer the student has chosen and deal with the students specific misconception of the issue that the wrong choice revealed.

    Third – after the student followed the links provided for every wrong answer he is entitled to redo the test – his scoring is resetted and he can start over.

    This should be the user experience with all tests for assessment – only tests for grading or final exams should do otherwise – no explanation, just scoring, giving away the right answer for every question and no second chance but by special permission of the tutor/teacher.

    What do you think about that – is this implementable? Should we go this way?

    What is the role-concept behind learnhub?

    At the moment it seems to the normal betatester, that everybody may do everything. Will this policy change for some sort of admin-instructor-student hierarchy, perhaps organized by community or by school ?

    there are pros and cons for both concepts – maybe a mix of both (e.g. communities and schools work differently) would be the best.

    What are your plans concerning user-roles (this may be connected to your business-plans)

    I am very interested to get more information about these issues

    Suggestion concerning the quoting in discussions:

    Especially when quoting longer discussion-posts, a way to quote a post only partially – e.g. by highlighting the portion of the post you want to be cited – would come in handy!

    I tried to use some javascript in a lesson – that didn’t work.

    Would like to see a way to tackle with the source-code of the lesson (html/javascript)

    That would improve immensely the possibilities for the knowledgeable user to create complex lessons.

    Think about changing the edit-possibilities of discussion-posts:

    Why not let the author of a post edit his post any time until somebody replied to his post?

    Often i think it would be great if i could tweak my last post for clarification – but then normally the edit-window of 10 minutes already closed.

    After someone else replied to a post, editing should be forbidden to keep the dialog authentic.

    Suggestion for the behaviour of the “activity”-window on Home:

    At the moment the activity shows “created the lesson…” even when i only edited a lesson formerly published. If you – as I often do – have to correct your lesson, therefore edit your lesson a few times in a short period of time, the activity-window is filled with all that editing-garbage.

    You could change that either to show “updated the lesson …” or “edited the lesson…”, or imho even better: skip those editing-processes completely from the activity-list.

    Suggestions for tests:

    first: please add the opportunity to create questions with more than one correct answer! (E.g. 3 out of 5 etc)

    second: tests have to be editable after publishing – otherwise you never can improve a test without having to write it new completely from the scratch – why burden the author with a lot of boring repetitional work?

    Suggestions for test-statistics:

    I t would be great if an author of a test could see – perhaps in a diagramm – the test-outcome per question, if possible per answer, e.g. “question 3: 20 answers, 5xa, 4xb, 9xc, 2xd”.

    That way the teacher knows which question created a problem for his students, which misconceptions are the most popular etc. – pure nuggets for his further planning of the course!

    Would be great if you could easily chat with other users online without leaving the platform for another application. Just ping a user and start chatting – this feature would definitely strengthen the communicative approach of the platform!

    (This feature had to be combined with the feature of seeing who is online as suggested in a former post)

    one suggestion: a few days ago in some discussion we posted about different interesting books. Today i was interested to reread those posts, but couldnt remember, in which discussion we had this conversation. It took me a long time, to find that discussion again. So: Could you think of a searchability of the discussions a specific user posted to? Maybe in a short time there will be a real need for such search ability – given that the number of communities, schools and therefore discussions will explode rather quickly

    The discussion board is meant as a forum, means it is not made for real time conversations. Therefore it e.g. doesnt refresh automatically to show new posts. We should have the opportunity for chatting with each other on this platform. There is no plan for a chat-application to be found in the wireframes, so i suggest it here. Maybe tutoring embraces this functionality, but that is not the same – i thought of chatting student to student.

    Suggestion: Interface design. i think you need to have much stronger delineation between the different part s of the website. I think peter mentioned before about trying to find an old post.

    I honestly believe you need to look at this. it is in your own interests to make it clear and obvious where to go and what to do. The interface is ok, but I think if you take a long hard look at it, you will be able to improve the interface and make it more enjoyable for users.

    I have not spent much time analysing, just my gut feeling – If i caome up with any ideas i’ll let you know

    INTERFACE DESIGNI WOULD DEFINITELY USE THE WORKSPACE DOUBLE NAVIGATION BAR AS THE BASIS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND HOME PAGE – adjust menus accordingly.

    That would be SOLID and CONSISTENT (as an end user i want that, and so will others). Otherwise we have got 3 slightly different interfaces for each section. The workspace double navigation looks neat.

    Hello, I’m really excited to be participating in your Beta test. I just have a few questions. 1. Will we have the option of customizing the appearance of our communities/subdomains like on the Ning.com platform? 2. Will there be an option to set-up DNS settings so that we can use our own domains, again like Ning? 3. Will there be SCORM support in the near future?

    My goal is to be able to integrate LMS/course offerings into our current communities. In fact, I’d love to be able to author once, then embed entire courses or at least buy now buttons/course previews into any CMS we use (currently Joomla and Ning.com). We want to build our brands AND the Learnhub brand.

    Thanks again for the great service. I look forward to your public launch!

    I’d would really like the opportunity to credit the url which allows me to extract images and clip art free of charge for use as I please. When I use them on this site, either as an avatar or as part of a lesson, I would really like to credit the creator through a url close to said image.

    For instance, my avatar is generously available for my use, due to the goodwill of its creator with the request that I link to the creator’s site.

    “If you use these designs on your web pages, I would be grateful for a credit and, if possible, a link to http://www.webomator.com/bws.”

    I’d really like to pay back this artist’s generosity by complying with his request.

    Thanks, and I appreciate how responsive everyone one is to feedback!!

    Adam, Can I suggest that you include a “How To” section on Tutorials, along with the other How-Tos you’ve already done in the Support Community. I think it could be a very powerful teaching medium, but it’s rather low profile at the moment. :-}

    1- Ability to search within a discussion board. I don’t know if what I’m about to suggest has been suggested because I’m too impatient to read all of these posts and I can’t search. :(

    2- The top navigation that includes HOME, COMMUNITIES, WORKSPACE… should also include LESSONS and COURSES so they can be found and searched for easily (like is already in place for communities).

    New Page, New Presentation, New Video should be buttons within the Course Creation process.

    Each item should be editable/modifiable – as an example, I update a PPT presentation. Rather than recreate an entirely new presentation, I should be able to upload the newer version within the existing presentation link.

    Ability for course instructor to create linear/guided progression through a course. Essentially Back/Next links to the last/next item in the learning progression. Example – lead off with intro, transition to a video, link to a discussion on that video.

    Test items: add ability for multiple correct answers in multiple choice, add subjective assessment questions such as fill in the blank/short answer/essay.

    Based on survey, ability to create a non-graded but aggregated survey tool for pre- and post- tests, evaluations, other survey or self-test applications.

    The presentation tool is interesting. Any thought of adding voice-over functionality a la narrated PPTs, Slideshare, etc.? (But with a better user interface than either of the examples and ability to add per slide audio!)

    Another nice feature that I’ve seen in some blogs and in Moodle is the ability to follow and respond to discussion posts via email (as an option, not by default). One of my biggest frustrations with our Blackboard system is the proprietary nature of their environment. Students and faculty have to make a conscious effort to check every one of their courses just to see if there is something new posted.

    I’d love to see a quick link to “my discussions” which would include any discussion that I’ve posted to, so I can quickly look for responses. (like in the support discussions).

    I agree with nelliemuller. It would be nice if we could edit the HTML of each entry. That way, it would be possible to add html-codes for videos (like YouTube).

    Suggestion: Starting in a few weeks time you should put some statistics on the front page (Home), as e.g. number of members, courses, lessons, discussions.

    Learnhubs number of users is climbing up very fast, and so will the other numbers. Why not boast the success ;-)

    I would like to be able to edit the titles of my discussions, debates, lessons etc. and not just the content. I realize this may be unfair after members have joined, but I would like to edit the titles immediately after I started. Perhaps it would be possible to add a time limit for editing titles.

    Thank you.

    Hi Adam, learnhubbing is so much fun for me, that I (not my school yet) would like to share it with my students! But some of them are younger than your signing-up-rules allow.

    I made a typo on one of my discussion titles: Twitter or Pounce. The Pounce should be Pownce. I would like to change it.

    DrTechie, that is a wonderful suggestion and something we’ll definitely sit down and discuss. I understand where your coming from and I have no doubt that will help separate the “teachers” from the “students” in communities so you know who to approach.

    Thanks!

    You can also do a TON, and I mean a TON with textiles. Here is a good reference that will help you out:

    I suggest a special welcome for Mr./Mrs. Learnhubby No. 1000 :)) (999 right now!)
    And I just realise that I would like to edit the title of a discussion I created, at least some minutes later, like you made it possible with postings.

    I would like to see a grade book feature. Maybe more specific feeds of course or tests and discussions, debates, etc. I would like to know how each member is interacting within my courses.

    If this has already been suggested or already exists, I apologize in advance. I’d like to see a section where you can request communities of a certain topic to be made. For example, I’d like to see a community about the Japanese language, but I don’t know enough about it to make a community myself.

    I’m sorry if this is out of left field, but I’d like to see a feature that would allows us to report badly written parts of the site. For example, the headline of the Canadian History community (“It’s true, Canadian History is more then [sic] just fur trading”) mistakes “then” for “than,” which is a pretty glaring grammatical error. Considering this is an academic-oriented website, these errors should be minimized, and I’ve been trying to find somewhere to report the mistake, but there doesn’t seem to be any clear forum or utility for it.

    Ah this is my community too! I always make that same mistake, then and than… habit ;) I’ll change it.

    I agree with Oren, reporting it to LearnHub authority doesn’t really help, it just adds an extra step. I would go to the person and private message them asking them (politely) to change it.

    Best course of action is to message the community leader asking them to change it, if they don’t you can always e-mail support@learnhub.com and tell them you’ve asked the leader to change it repeatedly and they didn’t. We’d go in and change it for them.

    Internationalization! Please, let us define the language of our lessons and let us translate them to many other languages!

    Internationalization will be awesome! Let other users translate lessons! Lesson reuse!

    The navigation menu is not the best there is… I think it can be improved a lot! 1 click access to ALL the site… no?

    Just a suggestion! Great work so far!

    How about a “Reply” link beneath each comment so I don’t have to go all the way down by myself? Maybe an anchor would do!

    First of all, great job so far Learnhubbers!

    Now my suggestions:

    • Idea 1: What about creating a section on each community’s site with some people’s opinions as testimonials. (For example, why they joined, how they could benefit from being a member so far, what they particularly enjoyed etc.). This might attract further prospective students/teachers.
    • Idea 2: Instead of having a list of members to scroll down, presenting the list of members on a world map. Similar to the concept of www.frappr.com, presented by Nellie Muller (where are you from?). I have 51 members so far in my MannersAndCareer community and wrote down manually their name, their location etc. But it would be great if – as soon as a new member joins the community – it would show on the world map which everyone could see (or only the community leader).
    • Idea 3: I wished there would be a bit more details regarding the allocation of points in the authority list. How many points do you get for each section/subsection? I invited new users but it doesn’t show up, the same with the tests I created. It seems as if I wouldn’t have created any…..
    • Idea 4: Is it possible for a community leader to see who rated various lessons, courses etc.
    • Idea 5: If I sign in on Learnhub’s website I would not like to be remembered just for 2 weeks but for at least one year :-). Just a small thing to type, however ….
    • Idea 6: What about uploading also audio podcasts?
    • Idea 7: I have power point presentations but also presentations in flash format. Would it be possible to upload also them?
    • Idea 8: Having the option to rate (thumbs up, thumbs down) is good I would say, but what about giving the person who thinks he/she really learnt something interesting from a lesson/course etc. the possibility to DONATE something to the community leader. I’m aware that there is the marketplace in which you can offer material, courses etc. for free or charging a fee. But maybe some people might be prepared to donate (even just small amounts of money) if they really think that something was particularly helpful. Therefore, could a “donate button” be taken into consideration as well?

    I look forward to seeing some ideas implemented, no matter who submitted them…..

    It would be great for a community leader to display courses on the home page of the community (somewhere in the main content window). Right now, the only link from the home page is in the right-hand widget. Doing this would allow me to better merchandise my courses to people that I invite to my community.
