annotation filter

    Another one, if anyone can help...

    How can I set it so that on any given webpage, the pupils can only see comments and notes made by members of the group and not general public comments?

    If I can't do this, then I'm not sure I can use it in my class, if I can't be sure of what information they'll see. Plus, some of the sites (i.e. http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/) which I want to annotate with notes for my pupils already have comments on, which although are perfectly clean, clutter the page up for the purposes of using it within a lesson...

    Sorry for my late reply - being very busy lately.

    > Is there anyway to moderate what comments my students make on sticky notes on webpages? I can do it with forum posts but there seems to be no option on the notes.

    Not yet - we will take this into consideration, although to enable this option will involve very complex backend changes.


    > Can I lock the accounts from being able to add friends or groups from outside the ones that I set up? I'd prefer to restrict them to just the school's groups (at least at first). If I can, then I don't see a problem with allowing all pupils (even those under 13) from being able to personalise their profiles.

    To clarify for everyone: here is what the current Phase I allows: students (ie. student accounts created by teacher via the educator account) can only invite / send "friend invites" through email (ie. people that they already know) and no one else (except their teacher / students friends) can send friend request to them. They can however join a public group.

    We will discuss your feedback for our future release. We know that Phase I is not "perfect" yet, although it addresses some of the most major concerns to help teachers / students get started - we are doing a phase-approach development to observe & clearly define teachers / students true needs (not just "wishlists") , so that the "final" version will truly be a community-engaged solution that fits the needs of many.

    Currently, if you use toolbar, you can filter annotations via the sidebar: This URL >> Annotations >> See group only.

    We will implement / enable a "on-the-page" view annotations filter (ie. all, private, or group-specific only) in our next toolbar release update.

    Thanks a lot for this.

    This is a biggie, without it it will just take one nasty comment to render a page full of useful comments and discussion completely useless within a classroom. Even just the ability to delete comments would be enough to rectify this.

    View Annotation Filter is now available on the latest Diigo toolbars (Firefox and IE), so that you can view all, private, group specific annotations, or none on the page!

    Check it out.

    Just to answer my own question, I've just found that a moderator has the ability to delete individual comments on a page if viewing them from the expand button on the bookmark in the groups page (as opposed to actually clicking the bookmark and seeing the stickies on the page).
