It should work on any page where you are able to add some HTML. In Vista, for example, I have added it to the header and footer of the course homepage and it worked perfectly. So although I have not tried it out on Angel - it should work there if Angel lets you add some HTML. Take care - [quote]Will it work on Angel, as well?

Excellent - thanks so much for the suggestion. FYI - we are working now on a little tool that will allow you to have parts of your group's collection (or any other collection) dynamically appear on any web page you have - such as your WebCT/Vista and (I think) Blackboard course page. It will be a great way to apprise your students of new links you put up there. It should be ready in a few days. Take care - [quote]I gave it a test run, and it seems to work well. Good job.[/quote]

Quickadd / Import utility

2009-09-11T17:03:51-04:00

aparrish, I wanted to let you know that I have finished the import utility. You can find it on the bookmarks tab of any collection you own, ie: your collection or one of your groups collections. Thanks Nic.

OK - Nic has been working on it all day and he is almost done with the new feature. We will put it up as soon as it has been tested - then I'd love your feedback on it. I expect it to be up on the live site sometime tomorrow - possibly in the morning. Take care - and thanks again for the great suggestion. Murray [quote]Thanks Murray, You're right -- as an instructor, it's nice to be able to reveal new content periodically, rather than having it all clumped together when the students get to the site. It's also nice to share things that apply to multiple writing courses (as many things do).[/quote]

Hmmm - I think you are exactly correct. We should have this. Good point. I had envisioned (and am currently) using my same Brainify group for the new crop of students. But I can think of good reasons why you might like to create a new group. So - let me have the guys do a quick evaluation to see how long it will take to add this feature. We may be able to whip it off quickly. In case you are unable to wait, the fastest way to add a bookmark to another group is to: 1) go to the old group 2) go to the bookmarks tab 3) for each bookmark, click on the green minus sign on the top right 4) a window will appear, and at the bottom right of that window, you will see the option to add the bookmark to other collections. Click it. 5) select your other group and hit done. I recognize this is a less than perfect alternative - so we will get working on an import function right away. i will be in touch. Take care and thanks for the comment! [quote]Maybe I'm missing it, but I do not see a way to quickly transfer multiple links from an existing group to a new group. As I'll probably want to make a new group for each class every semester, an easy way to move links around would be great. What do you think, Murray?[/quote]

Excellent. We have added the events idea to our list. We will also look into the "new items" idea. Thanks so much! [quote]I would definately say a page showing the user new events, new friend requests and messages and their status. Also, if there was a link that would quickly navigate to the search page with the 5 newest users or groups that would be nice too. [/quote]
