Release Name: eduCommons-3.1.0-final
Notes:
Changes: ======================== Changes in version 3.1.0 ======================== "Download Course" Additions Moved "download this course" into a "Reuse Course" portlet. The course downloads now include IMS information. Using a portlet will also allow for additional formats, such as Common Cartridge, to be added in the future. Display License and Caption for Embedded Objects Using the Kupu editor, eduCommons can now display separate licenses and citations for image objects embedded in a page, distinct from the overall page license. Captcha integration We now integrate captcha on the registration page to prevent spambot submissions. Lingua Plone 2.0 Integration LinguaPlone 2.0 has been implemented into eduCommons 3.1.0, allowing users to localize content and support multiple languages on a single OpenCourseWare site. Add accessibility check This is intended to help institutions who want to include accessibility check into their workflow. Enable Javascript/Page-specific CSS and embed tags by default We have enabled Javascript and page-specific CSS and embed tags by default. Documentation for Adding Small Widgets Add eduCommons-specific documentation and examples for adding Plone 3 portlets. Add "Remix this course" functionality This feature is designed to allow courses from MIT OpenCourseWare (pending implementation by MIT OCW) as well as other eduCommons OCWs to be easily imported into OpenOCW (or another eduCommons site if specified, but OpenOCW will be the default). On published eduCommons OCW courses that have been packaged, a "Remix this course" link appears. This allows unauthenticated users to send the entire course to OpenOCW (OpenOCW login credentials must be provided). Update "download this course" to improve handling of large courses "Download this course" is no longer auto-generated when a course is published or changed. Instead, a new "Package course" button appears in the contents view of the course once it has been published. The "Download this course" .zip file now includes IMS information. It now appears in its own portlet, along with the "Remix this course" link. Other updates Updated eduCommons to exclude new content from showing in the left nav by default (including zip imports). Improved IE 6 and 7 compatibility.
