Current Status https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=24 Current StatusRight now on iSessioner.com, the coders and I are working to complete a list of twenty tasks. I have listed them in order of importance, so we can get the most important ones done first. Once these tasks are completely, we will be ready to do a start up pilot project. This start up pilot project is very important because it will give us the data we need to determine what works, what doesn't work and what we need to do to satisfy the needs of ALL the users.

Vyew.com Online Interactive White Board https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=23 Vyew.com Interactive Online BoardRight now, the coder and I are making some changes to Vyew.com's Interactive Online White board, so All Sessioners will be able to create, edit or delete the content they create on the board. Right now, the Sessioners cannot do this, so this is a major problem that has to be resolved. We also found out that Vyew.com will no longer be free, which is not good, but what can you do about it, its the only online white board that meets our required needs. The lowest price now is $9.95 per month, which isn't to bad, but we'll know for sure once the Sessioners begin to use iSessioner.com. Will they pay the price to use Vyew.com's Interactive Online White board or not pay the price?

Interactive Calendar Events https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=22 Calendar EventThe coder and I continue to improve the Interactive Calendar Event, so it will do exactly what we want it to do. Today, the coder added two new input fields that will further the capabilities of the script. So far, the ICE improvements are going well. The idea is to make the Interactive Calendar Event indispensable to the Sessioners and the students.

Interactive Calendar https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=21 iSessioner CalendarAs I continue to develop iSessioner.com, I can see that we are close to where we want to be, so I'm excited about where we are currently at. I don't think we will ever be completely done no matter how many Sessioners or students use the Web application, because you will always have the competition to contend with, but that is OK with me because you never want to become complacent. So, the next service I have added to iSessioner.com is the Interactive Calendar for the Sessioners and the students. The Interactive Calendar will allow the users to keep track of their tasks, their events and the things they need to do.

Bitbucket.org https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=20 Bitbucket.orgOne of the things we had to do recently is to move the iSessioner.com Web site project to another server, because the coders and I were finding ourselves at times using a different version of a file. I really didn't know much about these kinds of Web services, so I left the decision to the coder. I was not disappointed in what was selected. The name of the Web site is called Bitbucket and it provides you everything you need to manage, edit and operate your Web site project. And, if you have five or fewer users the price is free. And, even if you go over the number of users and have to pay, the amount you pay per month per user does not cost a lot.

Interactive Notebook Search https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=19 iSessioner.com NotebooksOne of the things I wanted to do at this point was to give the students and the Sessioners on iSessioner.com a way to categories and search the public Interactive Notebook Posts. So, after talking about this with my coder, we came up with a model that allows for a variety of ways to find a post. So far, it looks like it will work well and we'll be able to know for sure once it gets test loaded.

Session Comments Flag for Review https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=18 iSessioner CommentsAt this point on iSessioner.com, I added a flag image (link) to all Session comments, so anyone that reads and inappropriate comment can submit it for review by the Sessioner of the Session or by the admin of the Web site. Currently, to be able to contact the Sessioner or the admin it is done through the Internal Messenger (IM) on the Web site. For example, if you log in as a student and go to their profile page and click the Contact Sessioner link below the Sessioner's image, you will be taken the the Internal Messenger (IM), so you can contact that Sessioner.

O.W.T.O.I.W.T.N https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=17 Edu Online Services - First Blog EntryWell, I finally got the chance to redo the EOS Web site. Out-With-The-Old-In-With-The-New was a long time coming, but like anything else, there are other things you have to complete first. We all know, there just isn't enough hours in the day to get done what you want to get done. Even with the advancements having been made in technology, we still find ourselves still pressed for time. Its no wonder the adults in the past got anything done on time when they had to type on those manual typewriters. I'm old enough to remember using them myself in high school and earlier in my teaching career, and I take no solice in their demise. Yet, if I don't have any electricity for an extended period of time we know who will win that argument. Well, lets hope I never will be required to use a manual typewriter.

Notebook Searching https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=16 Notebook Searching

The notebook post searching feature has been tested and is working properly. We might have to tweek it here and there for visual purposes, but that will be determined by the users.

Notebook Search https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=15 Notebook Search

We are now adding the search feature for the notebook posts. Basically, the users are going to be able to look up posts by the admin, the moderators, the sessioners, and the students and those posts will be categorized by subjects.

Notebook Changes https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=14 Notebook Changes

We are adding a category capability to the notebook posts. By doing this, the users will be able to place their notebook posts in a subject category, which will make it easier for other users to find their public notebook posts. This capability will be eventually used as part of the notebook posts search.

More Tester Information https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=13 iSessioner Image

The Tester Web application for taking online test is going to be used to compliment the Quizzer. The Quizzer will allow the users to create their own quizzes from the question banks, so they can practice what they are learning or the test they will take in the future. The idea for Tester is to enable the Sessioners to be able to create an online test for their users to take for grading.

Search Update https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=11 iSessioner ImageSince the search features are an important part of the iSessioner Tutoring, Learning and Collaboration Web Application, I wanted to make sure the search results are indeed what is wanted. So, I changed the search results to be the same for the private search and the public search.

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.

CKEditor Upgrade https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=10 CKEditor

Recently, I tried to upgrade the CKEditor because the kcfinder, which is a file manager plugin for the CKEditor was not working. But, no matter what I did, the kcfinder was still not working. Eventually, I got a file manager to work with the CKEditor, so the problem has been resolved.

The CKEditor is an Open Source WYSIWYG online editor that is probably the best editor. It is a vital online tool that allows dreams to become reality.

The WYSIWYG Editor https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=9 iSessioner Image

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.

The News Scroll https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=8 iSessioner Image

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.

The Search Features https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=7 iSessioner Image

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.

Internal Messenger Update https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=6 iSessioner Image

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.

Session Changes https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=5 iSessioner Image

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.

Quizzer Update https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=4 iSessioner Image

Right now, I'm in the process of integrating the login, the logout and the admin for Quizzer into iSessioner. Quizzer will enable the users to create their own quizzes to take online when they want to. Its ideal for any user to use to prepare for quizzes or tests.

In the next few months, all of my attention will be directed toward completing iSessioner.com. Out of all of my projects I'm working on, it's the most important one. iSessioner.com is a Web site that will be a paradigm shift for public education.

iLearnable Update https://www.eduonlineservices.com/blog.php?d=2 iLearnable.com ImageI just spent a few days updating iLearnable.com. Luckily, the changes I needed to make were possible. The most obvious change happened on the educator video page where I changed its layout look to be more visually appealling. I also added a youtube video playlist feature in the bottom right hand section of the page. The videos are by the Hip-Hop Preacher or ET and the topics for the videos are on self-development. I chose to use the Hip-Hop Preacher because he speaks "truth to power" and is an inspiration to anyone who hears him speak. And, what better place for him to help others than on an educational videos Web site. You will find his video playlist on the index page too as well as on other Web pages on the Web site. I hope they will help and if possible let me know what you think and if you have an idea for adding someone else to the list please let me know.

Another change is that I added a donation button to the bottom of each Web page. Hopefully, there will be people who believe in what I'm doing and they will donate some money to the cause. As I always say, whatever amount you can donate will be greatly appreciated. EOS is a for profit business, so keep in mind your donation will not be tax deductible. There is a donation button on EOS (this site) too. The idea is to put them on all the Web sites, so no matter what Web site the person is on, they will have the means to make a donation.

The last thing I did was to add the AddThis buttons to the bottom of each Web page. AddThis is a free service that allows you to add a web page's link to a lot of social media outlets or email the link to whomever. I like this because its a way to get the word out about your Web site and AddThis has analytical tools available too for indepth user analyzing. Well, this is what I've been up to, so until the next blog post, do what you can do today and don't wait for someone to do it for you...
