- General Design Direction - a broad design concept that will help us focus our continuing design work and start communicating with others in the community to potentially collaborate.
- Library Bookmarklet: A design direction we have previously referred to as the "Library Bookmarklet" addresses a number of key findings from user research. Instructors:
- rely on both scholarly and non-scholarly resources for their courses
- search for and find this content anywhere out on the web
- use this content to engage their students and increase interaction with them
- encounter problems and frustrations in finding, managing and sharing resources
- The Library Bookmarklet concept's key feature is having a web browser bookmark or extension that allows instructors (and other Sakai users) to share content from anywhere on the web with courses or other networks within Sakai. Some similar systems mentioned at the meeting include:
- Facebook Share Bookmarklet
- Delicious Browser Extensions and Bookmarklet
- Amazon Universal Wishlist Bookmarklet
- Zotero
- LibX
- Sociable, a Sakai 3 project under development at NYU, is very similar to our Library Bookmarklet concept. Getting in touch with other similar projects such as Sociable is covered below.
- Library Bookmarklet: A design direction we have previously referred to as the "Library Bookmarklet" addresses a number of key findings from user research. Instructors:
- Connecting with others doing similar work and learning more about Sakai 3
- There are others doing work in similar areas that we may be able to collaborate with on some level.
- With a design direction in mind, we have specific areas of Sakai 3 design and development we need to learn more about to assess the feasibility of our design goals and arrive at realistic designs.
- Many people were mentioned. We'll be starting conversations with them soon:
- NYU team working on Sociable (Barbra Mack, Jennifer Vinopal)
- Clay Fenlason, Sakai product manager
- Keli Amman at Stanford focusing on Learning Activities and Assessment
- Josh Baron with the Teaching & Learning group
- Cambridge: doing a fair amount of Sakai 3 design and development
