Community Engagement Assesment
THIS IS A PLACEHOLDER SURVEY: Shelved till I have more time.
(but feel free to answer the one question if you like)
Hi and welcome. Thanks for stopping by to let us know what you think.
We're interested in learning more about what the community expects from an online experince, so please let us know how we are doing.
Are we meeting expectations?
Dissapointed we didn't include something?
Have a crazy idea that might just work?
You've come to the right place.
By all means: Air issues. Make suggestions. Add content. Organinize, inform, immerse yourself.
Plan, plugin, communicate, and help us grow. This is here for the community (this is you, yes), and we'd like to know what the community (still you) thinks.
So again, please take a few minutes and donate a few minutes to participate in our ongoing user survey.
It goes without saying, but i'll say it anyway: be as candid as you can be. Your answers will never be tied to your profile, this is all anonymous, for development only.
It will really help us throw chunks of time at things that deserve it, according to you, and whoever is sort of standing around you too, i would think. Thanks!

You just created 26 tags for
You just created 26 tags for this post. How is this useful? If every word becomes a tag the ability to categories becomes diminished. It would seem to me to be more useful to have fewer tags that take you to different content than to have tons of tags that all take you to the same content.
It's very useful when
It's very useful when you might have users that don't understand the concept of tagging, or know that they totally have the right to tag something with 2, 6, 26 or 126,000million tags. It's a demonstration, and really greg, if you get upset about those tags, which are actually relevent and thought-out, then you're going to have a real hard time with organic taxonomies in general.
Apart from making it obvious that it's possible to do, and hopefully encouraging others to do the same, the aesthetic detraction to the site was minimal, imho.
I am striving for the same thing you are, though. accuracy improves over time regardless of the relevency of specific tag sets as far as I can tell, ala wikis, etc.
Our primary concern should be involving students, and encouraging them to generate content, which provides the dialectic foundation for relationship formation leading to a shared institutional identity, which provides the basis for ongoing donations.
I will get rid of them if you want. But, i would argue that when someone clicks on any of those tags, there is at least a chance they'd want a feedback survey in the results somewhere - so i do think the tags are valid. I'll scale it down, but I think it's healthy to add 5 or 10 tags a post. after a while, they're all ajaxed in anyway - and it makes for a richer recipe.
