I’ve been a fan of CoveritLive since I discovered it during Educon. I’ve used it successfully a couple of times, and intend to use it in the future when it makes sense to. But I wanted a few more options – like multiple authors and the ability to get my data out of their system.
Turns out, so did others. They’ve added multiple author support, automatic moderation of comments, and some other snappy options. It’s a very, very useful tool for capturing events as they happen, both for me and for an audience. (Turns out I learn better, and take better notes, when I’m doing so for someone else.) I find the linear nature of the notes and archive, too, make for a very useful and re-readable dataset. Handy for a backchannel, too.I’m a big fan of what they’re up to, and yes, I probably would pay to use the service, if they get to that. It’s just that good.
(Oh – and I did try the data export – simple embed code. Easy.)
