Thanks, Syelle! Bree is taking a well-deserved break this week, but we will put our heads together on this when she gets back. 🙂

Hi Mary,

So sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this one! We had a little discussion about it with members of the OpenLab’s Community team. This is definitely an interesting question and approach!

The consensus within the group over here was that they have indeed evolved their course sites over time, though not perhaps to the extent y…[Read more]

Thanks so much, Mary – something in the new year would definitely be easier to wrangle. We would love to hear from you and Stephon – and are so happy to hear that you and your colleagues are enjoying using the OpenLab!!

Hi all,

Thanks for this discussion! As we mentioned in the other thread the City Tech OpenLab’s Help relies on customizations that don’t exist in CBOX OpenLab. (Unfortunately, creation of member-facing help was out of scope when CBOX OpenLab was developed.)

We really like Ed’s approach of using a standalone site with a knowledge base theme…[Read more]

Hi Mary – that’s such a great use for the OpenLab! It would be awesome to have something like that at City Tech too! On our OpenLab we have a couple of things that go in that direction, but nothing as robust as you describe. We know, though, that some faculty definitely use the OpenLab as a resource when advising students, since they can show s…[Read more]

It was great to meet you all – thanks again for inviting us! And this is very helpful – thanks, Ed! We’ll take you up on this offer when we start working on this feature. 🙂

That’s so great to hear, Paul! We’re excited that you’re excited and are really looking forward to the conversation.

Excellent – we’d be delighted to do this! Let’s shift to email to sort out the logistics!

Thanks, Ed, for sharing this. Boone may have further words of wisdom around releases, but just to say that, if it would be helpful, we would be glad to meet with you and Amanda to hear more about what you’re doing, and share our experiences with the OpenLabs at City Tech (original OpenLab) and BMCC (https://openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu/; uses CBOX…[Read more]

And thanks, Ed – we’ll take a look!

Hi Ed – a belated note to say hi and that we’re delighted to have you here – you’ve definitely surfaced some bugs, to the benefit of others. So please don’t hold back! 🙂

Re the OpenLab for Students (https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/openlabforstudents/), we just created it – along with Teaching with the OpenLab for faculty (http…[Read more]

Hi all – just a quick note to say thanks so much for reporting these issues. The team will obviously need to look into this, so please do provide as much info as you can!

Hi Eva,

Ray can correct me if I am wrong, but it appears to me that the image Ray identified as problematic is very, very large. Perhaps if you were to resize it and make it smaller, and then to upload that smaller image, that would help?

Thanks for the link — and it’s great to find out about this installation! The site is loading quickly for me; are there particular pages where you are finding the page loads to be slow? And has this issue been going on for a while or is it something that just started happening?

Good to hear from you Eva!! Can you share a link to your site?
