Fall 2013 release

tag: v2013_Fall.0

###Course Vocabulary Feature A Mediathread course vocabulary is a set of concepts and associated terms chosen by a course instructor. This is a good way to designate metadata for students to apply to items they analyze in Mediathread.

• Instructors can create a course concept by selecting Manage > Vocabulary from the application toolbar.
• Students & Instructors can apply concept terms to items and selections during analysis. The Edit Item, Create/Edit Selection forms now dynamically instantiate input fields for each course concept.
• The Collection views were enhanced to allow filtering by single or multiple concept terms and tags, as well as by Owner and Date Created/Modified.
• The Item, References tab displays concept term usage per item.
• Full Collection View & Item View design enhanced to support the new editing & filtering capabilities.

Note: We are using the excellent Select2 jQuery Plugin to support term and tag multiple selection and autocomplete.

###Misc

• Item View - Create Selection - no longer wipes out zoom-level and selection
• Renamed instructor-level Tools menu to Manage.
• Switch course design now consistent with the larger application.
• Enhanced help for Collection & Items Views.

###Infrastructure

• Django 1.4.6 upgrade
• All submodules deprecated. SherdJS is now packaged and exploded at bootstrap time.
• Selenium tests now pass in headless mode.
