EMPOWERING EDUCATION TODAY, TOMORROW, FOREVER

One of the things I do periodically is to check the status of the iSessioner Tutoring, Learning and Collaboration Web Application to make sure everything is working properly. When I checked the Web application recently, I found that the WYSIWYG editor not working properly in the Board's application. The specific problem was that you couldn't safe the post you made. Once the problem was found, the problem was fixed.

The Board is a Web application that is very important, because it will be use by the students to create their own Digital Learning Notebook. The idea is for all students to have a place for all of their learning materials that would be available to them anytime and from anywhere. In addition, it would be a place where all of their assignments could be submitted to for grading.

I added another online tool, so we had to make some changes to the news scroll so it would work. It hasn't been an issue, but anytime I integrate something, it is the first thing I check to make sure iSessioner continues to operate without any glitches.

The news scroll is something the admin has control over. The purpose of the news scroll is to keep the members up-to-date on what's going on or to inform the public on those things related to iSessioner that would be useful to them.

Since I made the changes on how to create Sessions, I now have to change the public search and the private search. This will result in members being able to get better search results in a timely manner. This is exactly what I want to happen, because you don't want to waste anyone's time.

The public search is for non members to use and the private search is for members to use. The main differences between the two are that members can use the private search to contact a Sessioner through the Internal Messenger and view the entire contents of the Session View.

After testing the Internal Messenger, it became apparent it would need to be changed. Currently, each member is listed in the drop down menu they can choose from to send an Internal Message to. Obviously, this would be a problem if you have a lot of members listed in the drop down menu. A better way to do this would be to use a search feature. By using a search feature, you don't have to worry about a long list to choose from and you can find the person your looking for quicker. Coupled with the fact that you can send an Internal Message to two or more members is another advantage of changing the Internal Messenger.

At this time, the files used to create Sessions are being changed or more files are being added to make the creation of Session and easy thing to do. Sessions will enable the Sessioners to create any type of Session to meet the requests of all its members.

The Session process begines when the student registers for an iSessioner account. On that online form, the student will let the Sessioners know what they are requesting help for. Once the student has submitted their online registration form, they will next begin the process of selecting a Sessioner. When the student has selected the Sessioner, they will work together to create the Session. On the other hand, if the student cannot find what they are looking for, they can send an Internal Message to the admin to make a request for the Session to be created. The admin in turn will send the request out to all of the Sessioners to respond to.
