Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Knowledge Building

I'd suggest creating categories such as "Progressive Inquiry", "Six Hat Thinking" etc. to match the knowledge type sets that you want to use. If your blog will be used in several courses, then I suggest you also create a category for each course. Another good category would be "News". You can then create posts by combining several categories: Course1 + News: news about course 1 Course1 + Progressive Inquiry: a knowledge building context for course 1, using progressive inquiry as the knowledge type set Course2 + Six Hat Thinking: a knowledge building context for course 2, using six hat thinking This way it's easy for students to follow just the course they're interested in, and also to spot knowledge building contexts. After you've set up the categories, go to Settings, Knowledge Building, and assign categories to available knowledge type sets. Note that if a post has several categories that are assigned to KB sets, things will become unpredictable. In Settings, Discussion it's probably a good idea to enable threaded (nested) comments, so people can respond to individual comments, and not only at the end of the comments list. Also you might want to disable breaking of comments into pages (as sorting of comments will only sort comments on that one page). For discussion moderation and other visibility settings, do what feels right. You can close off your entire blog from public view and require students to log in (maybe use an LDAP plugin to get login information from your school's systems), or keep the blog open - it's up to you. If you do know that only your students will have access to the commenting feature, you might want to disable the "automatically moderate if comment contains more than N links" setting.

Go to http://fle3.uiah.fi/download.html to find typesets exported from Fle3. Basically you just need to download the zip file, open it, and take the 'fledom.xml' file, rename it something meaningful (like the name of the zip file you downloaded) while retaining the xml extension, and place the file into the kbsets folder of this plugin.

Either copy an existing typeset's XML file to a new name, and edit it to your liking, or use the online editor of Fle3 to create a new set, and export it into an XML file (see previous question).
