There was a survey distributed via friends of edna groups, staff and stakeholders about the myedna new service and possible functions. Below is a summary that was completed to distribute back to these groups but thought others may also be interested in the results.
myedna survey results
Thanks to everyone (over 130 of you) who completed the myedna2 survey that was distributed to the friends of edna, stakeholders and education.au staff.
The survey responses will be a great help to the myedna project team and will support and guide us with possible functions for the new service. Many of these features will be based upon recent ‘Web 2.0’ and other social networking technologies.
The top five rated function areas for the project team to consider were:
- Join networks – ability to find and join professional networks of common interest
- Manage profile - eg personal preferences, memberships, subscriptions, RSS feeds
- Personal file space – file upload facility with ability to share resources with others
- Collect content – aggregate a variety of online content and services in one place
- Device independent – eg web, mobile, RSS reader, ‘widgets’
See the graph attached for more information and data.
There were many additional comments, functions to consider and advice that has been reviewed by the project team.
From the survey we have created the following broad goals and differentiators for the myedna project:
- Education and training focus and purpose
- Technical framework with future directions
- Provides a level of credibility
- No advertising
- Easy registration
- Encourage connections across sectors
- Secure and safe
- Quality managed
- Free service for Australian Educators
- Professional look and feel
