We had the first meetings this summer with TLT Faculty Fellow, Carla Zembal-Saul. Part of Carla's interest is related to the social and interactive elements of learning portfolios. We talked a lot about the "horizontal contributions" hashed out in Cole's post and vaguely eluded to in my previous post. We spent some time looking at other comment engines.
As an experiment, I have turned off the built-in comments for this post, and turned on comments powered by intensedebate.com.
Some features of intense debate:
- post video comments (try it out, it's very easy)
- view your or another's intense debate profile to see comments you have left across the web
- comment voting
- easily embed youtube video
- easily embed polls
- threaded comments
- commenter profiles that include info such as last tweet, and links to other social sites.
- login with openid
- login with facebook connect
So, go ahead and comment below. Post some video comments. Vote some comments up and down. It's fun and easy!
