Audio Dropboxes change
A small change in the way that student responses are listed. The underlying functionality of the program has not changed.

Conversations bug fixed!
The recording problem in Conversations has been fixed, and the program is now at version 2.1.
If you hadn't experienced the bug, nothing will change. If you had been unable to record audio-only
questions, the problem should be fixed now.
Known bug in Conversations
If your Windows computer does not have a camera attached, you will not be able to record questions.
We are working on this bug, and will have a fix very soon (by the end of August at the very latest).
Sorry!!

Mashups 2.0
Version 2 of Mashups implements many improvements that were suggested by users, including
supporting multiple audios, videos, pictures, and text clips. A new version of SMILE is
also included in Mashups 2.0. Log in to your Mashups and migrate today! November 26, 2008
Folders in SMILE
You can now organize your SMILE items into folders.
This will make it easier for you to keep track of your items.
Of course, none of your data has been affected by this change.
Upload photos, add to Mashup
"My Pictures" allows you to upload pictures and embed them in a Mashup.
When you're editing a Mashup, next to the Picture Embed Code box, click the
"my pictures" link. From here you can view your uploaded pictures, upload new pictures,
and get the URL for pictures to add to your Mashup.
Embed Conversations in your own web page
Conversations can now be embedded in external web pages, so you can put
a conversation in your wiki, blog, or home page. Get the HTML code from the
edit screen of your conversation (click the pencil icon)
Podcasting application is ready for testing
Try "Broadcasts," the latest RIA. This program creates podcasts for you.
All you have to do is create a channel, record episodes, and click the "publish" button.
There may be bugs in the program. Let us know if you encounter any problems
Server name change!
May 31, 2008
The server name and IP address has changed for the RIA media server.
Most users will not be affected. This matters to you ONLY if you (1) embed an Audio Dropbox using the HTML code, or
(2) have opened a firewall or proxy server for CLEAR's RIA server.
The domain name of CLEAR's RIA server is fms.clear.msu.edu.
Worksheets is ready for testing
