SuggestedFeaturesList

Here's a tentative list of features which some users and devs. would like to see in TikiWiki, when used in an educational institution:

Feature Description Useful for... Users interested Comments
Separate Group project option When enabled, pages created by groups are viewable only by group members. When disabled, group pages are viewable by members outside group. Enabling separate group work, especially when the teaching staff are concerned that the students might copy from one another. clappingtree, xavi This can be done right now (manually) with permisions at category level, or with workspaces within AulaWiki Mod (automatically). smile
Automatic Group Prefix option Pages created by groups are automatically prefixed with Group ID. Avoiding confusion. Students on similar processes may create similarly named pages and end up overwriting one another's effort unintentionally. clappingtree, xavi Working already with AulaWiki workspaces. smile
Graphic Annotation Users can annotate parts of a graphic the way one can do so with "Fotonotes" in MediaWiki, Flickr, ... Enabling discussion on the features, problems, improvement, etc. of certain graphical elements. clappingtree, xavi xavi: Looks nice. I have only used JGraphPad as graphical feature on tiki for production in the classrom, but still not very easily usable by students (according to their opinion). But photonoter looks nice and easy (I wish it was included also in action logs). clappingtree?: Have added link to Fotonotes. Try it out. Have emailed Greg Elin. He's keen. Don't know about TikiWiki sys guys. We need a coder to integrate it into Tiki. CAn you help gathering some money to have it done? (drop me a message if so)
Concept Mapping Users can create concept maps, or mind maps, which are a bit differnet, though (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_mapping) Enable concept linking and graphical visualization of concepts, processes, etc., suitable for the teacher and for students doing them, also. See, Mindmap plugin (to use with Freemind free sfotware java proggram), or IHMC CMapTools http://cmap.ihmc.us (although is not fully free software) xavi, jreyes smile
Individual assessment Editors (and above) can view all contributions by individual users. For example, Wiki Assessment feature in Blackboard Building Block Assessing quantity and quality of work done by individual students. clappingtree, xavi It works already for production: doc.tw.o/Action+Log and Contribution wink.
Group assessment Editors (and above) can view all contributions by groups. Assessing the work done by groups. clappingtree, xavi It works already for production: doc.tw.o/Action+Log and Contribution wink
Plagiarism Check Editors (and above) click a button to check level of plagiarism in the content of each page. Reducing plagiarism. clappingtree, xavi xavi: I wonder how would this be achieved... clappingtree: Me too. lol I'm using Blackboard at work. There's a link to Turnitin which checks for plagiarism. But this would cost money.
Who wrote what The ability to see who wrote what section / line/ paragraph of a wiki page, in a similar way, at least, as Bonsai works for CVS Blame Assessing the contributions to a single wiki page or wiki structure (paper, etc.). xavi, clappingtree See an example
ePortfolio A kind of "folder/contanier" where the learning evidences of a student are gathered together by him/herself It allows other ways of promoting learning, and also of grading students progress. xavi, jreyes? See links and more info at ePortfolio, AulaWiki and Dev. Forum thread. Also see: CarpeTiki project, and communication in a higher international education congress (pdf's in Spanish and Catalan a: http://gclub.ub.es/carpetiki/)
Types of Student Contributions A system to categorize the type of student contributions in forums, wiki edits, and blogs It help teachers to better evaluate the contributions from students xavi It works already for production: doc.tw.o/Action+Log and Contribution wink. Also see: AWikiForum project

What should we do wioth the previous content on LMs at tw.o (LMS pages)?

I mean the content from inside:
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=LearningManagementSystemDev

and linked in similar pages to htat one.



I see. Though presumably more people go there, this site is much more focused on educational usage.

How about copying them over to here periodically? And like the way you've invited me here earlier, we could invite those who are interested in TikiWiki for educational purposes here.



Well, I presume we need devs. that can add LMs system into tiki, to avoid re-programing everything from scratch. George.Geller did that at feature HomeWork?, in talk with Dennis Daniels, but they didn't finally release the tiki feature, and changed base software election to work with, I think. I presume they both use moodle as base LMS software.

Sylvie wanted to give a look herself to present moodle code, to assess the work needed in case of some integration/communication of moodle and tiki, in order to allow tiki educators use moddle as LMS.

I guess we need devs. to look at moodle, or http://www.dokeos.com, or similar, to integrate a good start into tiki.
And they'll probably expect (or need) some money for the work they might do adapting a LMS into Tiki.




btw, what happened to the TikiSheet? feature here? Is it buggy?

I'm planning to upgrade to 1.9 soon and let the students use TikiSheet? instead wiki formatting for tables.


> btw, what happened to the TikiSheet? feature here? Is it buggy?
Nop, its permissions were not given previopusly to reg. users. I've just added those perms to reg. users.

Good luck (I guess I will also this term).



Can a TikiSheet? be inserted into a normal wiki page?


Yes, see plugin SHEET



I think that it may be possible to somehow embed software such as Conzilla
http://www.conzilla.org which is purely free software and java aplication. Thus, it may be used in the same way as it is drawing java application.

Hi Veki, this would be very interesting! Can you code it, or have it coded? (I'm not coder my self...)

By the mean time, we are using the recently cretaed "freemind plugin" to use mindmaps (as concept maps) within Tiki.
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/PluginMindmap

HAve you tried it?


Hello,
Maybe we can ask people from Conzilla community since they have it as on-line application too. I will ask them to ifom us what we have to do in order to make it happen.
Yes, I like Freemind tool.

More soon.
