This is a powerful feature. Students can work collaboratively (in groups) with each student actually typing. This means that if you have a group of 3 students working on a report, for instance, all three of them can be responsible for actually entering information.<\/p>\n<p>This is also useful for teachers to work together. Teachers could set up an iLearn course to collaborate with other teachers.<\/p>\n<p>The collaborative editing is called EtherPad. Here is how to set up your own EtherPad.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Simply sign in to your iLearn 2.0 course<\/li>\n<li>Turn Editing on<\/li>\n<li>Click on &#8220;Add an activity&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Then select EtherPad.<\/li>\n<li>Give it a title.<\/li>\n<li>Add an Introduction: (Whatever you enter in the Introduction will be the beginning document. You might want to keep this short).<\/li>\n<li>You can set Module Settings &#8211; Restriction access or leave the defaults.<\/li>\n<li>Click Save and display<\/li>\n<li>Once the document has been started, it will Save automatically. There will be no Save button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You document will now be available. There are several features that you may find useful:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Timeline &#8211; shows who typed what when. This gives you a history of the document. This can be very useful to &#8220;see student thinking&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Import\/Export &#8211; (Double Arrows) Allows you to import documents (including pdf&#8217;s and word documents) and export documents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dearborn has been a leader in getting EtherPad implemented into iLearn. We will continue working to improve the experience even more.<\/p>\n<p>Please note:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Formatting is rather simple &#8211; Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, Automatic numbering &amp; bulleting.<\/li>\n<li>Tables are not supported at this time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As always, if you would like some inservicing on this tool, please contact the HelpDesk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that your classes can now do collaborative editing within iLearn 2.0?
