Reflections on this task as the conceptual glue between EnquiryBlogger and Compendium
The idea is that learners review their blog entries (a good pedagogical practice), filtering by category, and drag and drop key text fragments, images, links, etc from EnquiryBlogger into an affinity analysis map such as this, to help identify the Big Ideas, and then choose one for further investigation...
What are the technical implications of supporting this task?
Users need to get the Fishbone (or any other background graphic for affinity analysis) onto the background of their map
How to provide this?
Learner downloads a Compendium import file from EB and drops it on their map
A couple of user steps
Custom Compendium installation provides it
Requires a special installer which requires programming effort we don't have
Minimal user effort
Learner double-clicks on map bg, and pastes in URL for the graphic
Quite simple - users used to pasting URLs
Have to be online to see the graphic
Users need to know how to drag+drop from a web browser into Compendium
Users are used to this, or can be shown very quickly
