CUNY Academic Commons

Thanks Boone--

I can test it here: https://classtestbmcc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

Thank you Boone!

After testing I can see how this might be useful - it facilitates the creation of shortcode to hide specific sections of a page or post. I want to try a few more things and will report back in the next week or so.

Hi Boone,

I am looking to put this plugin into practice in my course this semester to trail run it.

Can it be activated on this site? https://psy327f22.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

thank you!

Sounds good. I've activated the plugin on that site.

Thanks Boone!

Hi Boone,

Sorry i never followed up about this. I did try it out here (week 1):

https://classtestbmcc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/course-readings/

I think some prof used password protected pages to host all their non-CC readings but I could see this plugin have a few use cases where profs teaching OER courses using 1-2 copyrighted readings would use this instead of making a page. I could also see using this to share a gdrive link on a public site.

If it's better to remove for now that is fine, but good to know the plugin's affordances for any future use.

Thanks, Laurie!

The current state of affairs is that the plugin is on the Commons, but restricted to your test site. I'd like to either (a) remove it altogether, or (b) open it up to everyone. If you can imagine recommending it to faculty teaching on the site, then I'm fine to go with (b).

Let's go with B and open it up to all.

Thanks Boone!
