CUNY Academic Commons

I agree that it is better to not embed. Just checking the possibility.  Thanks!

Hi Van,

The only way Manifold texts could be embedded would be through an iFrame. While it is technically possible to set that up, I think it would not lead to a good user experience given the importance of responsive design in Manifold and the fact that several features, like annotation and reading groups, require log in. But it is something we…[Read more]

Thank Matt,

I am familiar with Manifold and it is a great platform. Can it be embedded

Hi Van,

You might also be interested in checking out CUNY’s installation of
Manifold — http://cuny.manifoldapp.org — which offers a responsive
web-based reader for ebooks and many options for course use, including
public or private reading groups for annotation. If you or others would
like a demo to see how CUNY students and faculty are using…[Read more]

Dear Van,

Sorry to hear that you are leaving CUNY — thank you for all that you have
contributed to the Commons!!

We do not delete accounts unless asked to by users, and even then our
preference is for users to delete their own accounts if possible.

What this means is that you will retain full access to your sites, and to
your Commons account,…[Read more]

I was just trying to save time by not having to use filter or look up the course one at a time. I was looking up each course to get ideas as to what can be done.  I did do a filter of LAGCC courses.  I was not going to share the information with anyone. This is just metadata.  By the way, there does not seem to be a filter for public and pr…[Read more]

Within the site, I went to tools, and selected “Delete Site”.
I then had to confirm deletion in the email sent from WP.

Hi Van –

The Dev team would like some info:

“Could I get clarification on how the user deleted the site? The technique we use for this depends in part on the particular path the user took when marking the site as ‘deleted’.”

Request has been posted here: https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14438

Hi – I have reported this bug here: https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14437

Thanks for letting us know.

Hi Scott,

We do not need the Library premium plugin right now.  We have a group connected with the site so I will explore the Group folder to see how it might be used.

The ebook reader is also a premium plugin.  I will figure out how to do something like it without the plugin.

Hi Scott,

Yes, I would like the all the data in the course tab (all fields).  Thanks.

Van

Hi – Sure, we can get this info. We actually don’t have “courses” data type. We have sites, groups, and sites + groups that are used for courses. Is this what you need?

What fields do you need in the csv download? (The available fields are listed in the courses tab.)

Do you basically want a dump of the data on the courses tab?

Hi – Can you clarify which ebook reader plugin you want? Is it also a premium plugin? Thanks.

Hi – For premium plugins, the Commons policy is to have your organization pay for a single use license, and then activate the plugin on your site only. If you want to go this route, let us know.

You might also consider connecting your site to a group. Groups have a library feature that I think is similar to your needs. See…[Read more]
