Data entry/results of others

Apr 18, 2013

I'm looking for my learners to type in an answer, and after they're done, have the ability to see what other's wrote. Is this possible?

The purpose is for the learner to see the discrepancy, or not, in alignment of messaging, and share best practices with each other.

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, Amy!

From what I understand, you're wanting to share different learner responses from within a course. Is that right? I don't think that would be possible. As far as I know, you can't pass information from one learner's course to another's. 

However, thinking a little more about this (I actually really like the idea), maybe you can use an external or third-party method for collecting entries and then pull that information into your course using a web object. 

For example, if I were to enter a web object for this forum thread into a course, users would be able to see any responses that were made by other community members through that web object. 

I'm not sure if something like this would work for your project, but I thought the idea might be worth sharing :)

Hi Amy,

Well, it really depends on the type of content you're going to be sharing and how private you want to make it. You can set up a blog, or maybe even a Twitter or Facebook page dedicated to the course. 

If it's something that you need to keep confidential you can still do something like this, but you would probably want to keep it on a private web server, or a site that requires authentication/logins. 

I'm sure there's probably a more elegant way to go about it and I'd love to hear some other suggestions from the community on this topic :)

If you find anything that works for you, I'd love to hear about it!
