The factline Community Server (FCS) offers two specialities which allow
users to gain an overview of platform activities: In order to get an
insight into content-related platform activities, a "platform display
window" can be created. This display window shows the latest changes of
several selected platforms at first glance.
System administrators ( "S-Admin") can get a quantitive picture of
activities on individual paltforms. Combined both possibilities enable a
central overview of content-related activities as well as the quantitive extent of
activity on several platforms.
concrete examples:
e-portfolio
Lecturers can create an "e-portfolio display window" which shows
content-related activities of selected students at first glance. This
way, each e-portfolio does not need to be accessed and checked for new
content individually.
support for e-learning
An overview of platform activities can also relate to individuals as
opposed to platforms. For instance, participants of an e-learning-based
study course greatly benefit from a display window which shows the
latest content-related activities of specific lecturers. This way,
students see at first glance which lecturers have published new tasks
and do not need to fear that they miss important information.
