OERca2-communicator-T

From openmichigan

[edit] overview

While OERca enables users to comment on any object, replacement, or review of documents, the Communicator tool will aggregate those comments pertaining to a particular user. The communicator will also allow a user to select multiple objects and comment on them as a group. Comments might be statements or questions directed toward a particular user. Similar to Facebook or Flickr picture comments, users related to that object will receive notification that a comment appeared there. These notifications will also appear in the communicator tool. Users will be able to sort through comments here, or link directly to objects of interest. For instance, if a user wants to view all comments from another particular user, she can select that user's name and read the aggregated list. She can then click on an object of interest and view the object and its metadata.
