I&#8217;m shaking up the format of this talk a bit from what I normally give, so please attend even if you&#8217;ve heard me speak about it previously.  No, I won&#8217;t have any lolcats, but perhaps some keyboard cats.. we&#8217;ll be cramming a lot of things into a short session.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll briefly run through the basics of the plugin, including new features like <a href=\"http:\/\/zotero.org\">Zotero<\/a> integration, and <strong>WordPress MU support<\/strong> thanks to the hard work of <a href=\"http:\/\/clioweb.org\">Jeremy Boggs<\/a> (who is also presenting at WCNYC).  After covering the plugin&#8217;s essential features, I&#8217;ll give the reins to an audience volunteer who will be led through the process of setting up a course website using Courseware.  This will give you an opportunity to see how the plugin works, and gain some ideas for your own course website.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining session time will be used for lightning demos to present the audience&#8217;s own course website.  My hope is that these demonstrations will give participants a broad understanding of how course blogs and websites are being organized by using WordPress; ScholarPress is just one of many options.<\/p>\n<p>Lightning talks will be an opportunity to briefly demonstrate your course site to the group.  Each presenter must be brief, so I&#8217;ll need everyone to respect whatever time limit we decide.  If someone exceeds the time limit, I&#8217;ll &#8220;play them off&#8221; with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J---aiyznGQ\">keyboard cat<\/a>.  Don&#8217;t be that guy.<\/p>\n<p>To sign up for a lightning talk of your course website immediately following the presentation of the Courseware plugin, leave a comment on this blog post.  I can&#8217;t guarantee that we&#8217;ll get to everyone&#8217;s demo, but we&#8217;ll try to fit in as many as possible.<\/p>\n<p>See you on Saturday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m excited to return to NYC and CUNY to present ScholarPress Courseware, a WordPress plugin that enables you to manage a class with a WordPress blog, including a schedule, bibliography, assignments, and other course information.
