## Description

Knowledge Building is a process of collaboratively building new understanding and
knowledge through meaningful discussion. This plugin allows knowledge building processes
to happen on WordPress comments. There are several different knowledge typesets 
to choose from, and they can be mapped to individual post categories, so other posts
will continue to use their normal commenting functionality, while some categories
will be equipped with knowledge building tools.

This plugin is primarily meant for use in educational settings, but can of course
be used for any meaningful purpose.

This plugin uses the JQuery javascript library, and the jquery.simpledialog plugin
for JQuery to streamline the user interface. JQuery is used in noconflict-mode, 
so this won’t disturb a WordPress installation that uses another javascript library
as its default.

For more regular updates see [GitHub](https://github.com/LeGroup/Fle4).

## Installation

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

 1. Store the plugin into the `/wp-content/plugins/knowledge-building/` directory (
    basically just unzip the contents of the file into /wp-content/plugins).
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to Settings, Knowledge Building and select which post Categories should have
    Knowledge Building enabled.

Please note that since this plugin relies heavily on the commenting feature, not
all themes will work nicely. Specifically, this plugin works best with themes that
use the WordPress built-in comment Walker. You can detect this by checking whether
or not your comments.php template has a call to ‘wp_list_comments’ or not. If it
does not, then it has its own custom way of showing comments, which this plugin 
cannot easily work with. You can either select another theme which uses WordPress
Walker, or just try and replace the code in comments.php that displays comments 
with a call to `knbu_list_comments();` and cross your fingers. 🙂

## FAQ

  How should I set up my blog to best leverage KB?

I’d suggest creating categories such as « Progressive Inquiry », « Six Hat Thinking»
etc. to match the knowledge type sets that you want to use. If your blog will be
used in several courses, then I suggest you also create a category for each course.
Another good category would be « News ». You can then create posts by combining 
several categories:

 * Course1 + News: news about course 1
 * Course1 + Progressive Inquiry: a knowledge building context for course 1, using
   progressive inquiry as the knowledge type set
 * Course2 + Six Hat Thinking: a knowledge building context for course 2, using 
   six hat thinking

This way it’s easy for students to follow just the course they’re interested in,
and also to spot knowledge building contexts.

After you’ve set up the categories, go to Settings, Knowledge Building, and assign
categories to available knowledge type sets. Note that if a post has several categories
that are assigned to KB sets, things will become unpredictable.

In Settings, Discussion it’s probably a good idea to enable threaded (nested) comments,
so people can respond to individual comments, and not only at the end of the comments
list. Also you might want to disable breaking of comments into pages (as sorting
of comments will only sort comments on that one page).

For discussion moderation and other visibility settings, do what feels right. You
can close off your entire blog from public view and require students to log in (
maybe use an LDAP plugin to get login information from your school’s systems), or
keep the blog open – it’s up to you. If you do know that only your students will
have access to the commenting feature, you might want to disable the « automatically
moderate if comment contains more than N links » setting.

  Where can I get more Knowledge Typesets?

Go to http://fle3.uiah.fi/download.html to find typesets exported from Fle3. Basically
you just need to download the zip file, open it, and take the ‘fledom.xml’ file,
rename it something meaningful (like the name of the zip file you downloaded) while
retaining the xml extension, and place the file into the kbsets folder of this plugin.

  How can I create new Knowledge Typesets?

Either copy an existing typeset’s XML file to a new name, and edit it to your liking,
or use the online editor of Fle3 to create a new set, and export it into an XML 
file (see previous question).

 [Kevin Peterson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/marksina125/) 7 février 2017

We are said to live and learn in ‘knowledge societies’ that require ‘lifelong learning’,
but knowledge itself is absent from many accounts of contemporary social and educational
change -simply believe it www.schoolanduniversity.com – thanks for the consideration.
Thanks again!
