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.
