The Curricular Technology (CT) team has reviewed many of the course sites and curricular resources developed in Segue and other platforms over the years.<\/p>\n

Over 5000 sites have been created in Segue since it was introduced in 2003 at Middlebury.\u00a0 Many sites are copies of course sites from previous semesters that have been reused\/refined over the years.\u00a0 Many sites are personal sites or “custom” sites, sites that are used for departments or areas or curricular resources.<\/p>\n

Below is a summary of the number of\u00a0 course sites created in Segue and in course folders since 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Segue has been used primarily to publish text and distribute files. \u00a0 Many Segue sites also include RSS feeds and embedded audio and video from other sources.\u00a0 Amongst the most heavily used Segue sites are those containing language instruction resources.\u00a0 Below are some examples of such sites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
French in Action<\/a><\/td>\nAl-Kitaab<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Reflets<\/a><\/td>\nGolosa<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Beyond the Basics<\/a><\/td>\nNakama<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Deustch-Na Klar!<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Note:<\/strong> Many of the above resources were initially created in static html sites.\u00a0 These static html sites referenced media files that were stored on a separate media server.\u00a0 Some of these language instruction resource sites still refer to the same server location.\u00a0 Others have had their media files migrated from the media server directly into Segue’s media library.<\/em><\/p>\n

Online Discussion<\/h4>\n

Over 43,000 discussion posts were made in Segue v1 since 2003.\u00a0 Between 25-35% of Segue sites have active online discussions.\u00a0 In the fall of 2008, there were an average of 27 discussion posts a day.\u00a0 During this same time period, 400 students and 25 faculty contributed discussion posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Access Control<\/h4>\n

Many Segue sites have access restricted to either the Middlebury College community or particular groups within the community.\u00a0 In 2009, half the course sites created were restricted to students in the class.\u00a0 Many course sites specified different levels of access across the site, with different roles defined for different individuals and groups.
