¶ 1 Leave a comment on paragraph 1 0 The Future of Higher Education Research Team Report site is powered by WordPress and a WordPress plugin called CommentPress, developed by The Institute for the Future of the Book. Our goal in utilizing CommentPress is to further socialize PC200‘s research and planning process by creating a virtual dialogic space.

¶ 2 Leave a comment on paragraph 2 0 CommentPress allows comments to be attached to individual paragraphs, to whole pages, or to an entire document. To leave a comment on a paragraph, click the speech bubble to its right. There will also be an option to leave a comment on an entire page by clicking the Comment tab in the upper right. To leave general comments on the entire text, click the single comment bubble icon in the navigation bar. Comments are moderated, but only as a means of spam-prevention. When submitting a comment, you will be required to include your name and email address. Once a comment is published by the comment moderator, it will be public including the name of the commenter. Site moderators prefer those commenting to identify themselves, but those who wish to comment anonymously may do so through the following form. All comments should be respectful and thoughtful.

¶ 3 Leave a comment on paragraph 3 0 You can navigate the text using the bar across the top of the page. Arrow buttons will take you forward and backward section by section and the closed book button will return you to the title page. The arrows at far right will collapse or expand the text’s header. The relative widths of the main text column and the comments column can be changed by dragging the right edge of the main column.

¶ 4 Leave a comment on paragraph 4 0 CommentPress also presents two ways of reading comments on the text. By clicking on the double comment bubble icon in the navigation bar, you can access all comments by page. In the list of pages, ordered by number of contents, clicking on the page title will cause the comments to expand, and clicking on “Comment” in each comment’s header will allow you to see that comment in its context. By clicking on the people icon in the navigation bar, you can read comments-by-author, with the same functionality as for comments-by-page.
