Just wanted to let everyone know that a new release went into me.edu.au this week.
Some things that may interest you:
When you post to someone’s whiteboard they will now receive an email message alerting them to this fact. (unfortunately this sometimes goes into your junk/trash folder) So please check and keep up to date on what […]
new search in me
March 13, 2008 – 12:57 pm
Just wanted to let everyone know that we have released today the new “smarter” search functionality into me. Well done Nick and Ben. What this means:
* have a search that works
* have only one search - not a community and colleague search. Usability is heaps better.
* exact name search now works
* filter.
This is fantastic […]

What’s busy in me.edu.au?
January 23, 2008 – 8:43 am
Since me.edu.au (beta) is still in its early days of growth it is too early to tell how members will use the service, but we can report on early developments. In Communities we can measure number of members in a Community, number of contributions and visitors’ time viewing a page.
The busiest Community is Beginning Teachers, […]
Communities - some enhancements
January 11, 2008 – 1:11 pm
The Communities in me.edu.au has had a couple of improvements. Firstly, the tag cloud that shows the top 100 Communities now takes level of activity as well as number of members into account, so the relative size is a closer reflection of a Community’ level of lively-ness. As the amount of activity increases the difference […]
ME open; how are you?
January 9, 2008 – 3:30 pm
me.edu.au is surprisingly open to linking. The Digital Storytelling community is at http://www.me.edu.au/c/Digital%20Storytelling, http://www.me.edu.au/p/jtravers goes to me, Web2ools community is here: all without logging in.
So it is really easy to promote a Community or an individual profile by sharing addresses. Already some of the Communities are generating a lively set of links […]
Participation: what can we expect?
January 4, 2008 – 11:01 am
Now that me.edu has been running for several weeks we can start to get a feel for how it works. Since all users of edna services are automatically registered with me.edu we cannot take the nearly 2,000 current members as meaning that all these are active users. However a large number of members have indicated […]
How to add feeds and why
December 18, 2007 – 12:40 pm
Feeds are unfamiliar to many regular internet users, but they are one of the most powerful features of me.edu.au because they allow a member to automatically display in their Public Profile a summary of all their current online activity - blogs, social bookmarking wiki pages etc.
Here is an audio-visual tutorial on how to bring feeds […]
Taking off with Communities
December 18, 2007 – 10:37 am
In the first few days since the launch of me.edu.au a lot of people have established and joined Communities as shown in the partial view of the tag-cloud above. One of the busiest is Digital Storytelling. Most of the larger Communities have ten or more members but few have comments so far.
The two options for […]
