Chris,
>>Why not build an online app where you request an email address on the first page, as well as a password? Add in some standard address fields and you've just gotten the info you need for an "account" but couched in with other "application...
Google's announcement of automatic captions for YouTube and automatic caption timing has given our department more to think about in terms of managing captioned videos.
I'm curious what other higher ed institutions plan now that captioning will p...
Deborah, I have found the best solution to be simply collecting an e-mail address for the account and a password. Also supplying a lost/reset password option to the e-mail in case they forget it. Sometimes it is nice to collect a first and last na...
Hi, Deborah:
I totally agree with the spirit of your desire to avoid account creation, to keep that "wall" out of the user's face; I too feel strongly that user-friendliness should drive functional design, especially for something like an online ...

OmniUpdate wishes all our customers and friends a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
I'm using a version of PHPLive I've been customizing for the past few years. Although I've used the meebome widget before too. The nice thing about it is that if no one is online to answer the chat it prompts them to leave a message.
Our library staff initiated adding live chat and have had a good success with it. Now the admissions folks are interested in doing something similar. The real challenge is, of course, people managing the responses. The technology is fairly straigh...

Sent you a wave invite =).
I'm sure your friend added you. It takes an indeterminate amount of time for google to process the invite.
Mark you stated that you added me to your Google Wave but I have not received an invite yet. You can send it to dladner@nctc.edu or my gmail account at dxladner@gmail.com.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do. I contacted Google ...
