=== '''Download ''' ===
The latest Cohere jetpack (0.2) can be installed from:<br><br>[http://cohere.open.ac.uk/jetpack/cohere-jetpack.html http://cohere.open.ac.uk/jetpack/cohere-jetpack.html]<br> <br>
=== '''What we have been doing since the Phase 2 submission:''' ===
*Bug fixed with blank tooltips showing.
*Added buttons to the slidebars to open the Cohere login or if logged in, go to your Cohere home page.
*Added a button on the idea slidebar to clear your bookmarks.
*Bookmarking has been made more intuitive. You now click and empty star to bookmark an idea. Ones you have bookmarked show as filled stars. The same bookmaring system was also added to the main Cohere website along with a new bookmark manager dialog.
*The Idea creation/editing dialog and the Connection creation/editing dialog have been modifed to be a lot cleaner, clearer and hopefully easier to use now.
<br>
*'''New OER Commons tab'''. A new slidebar has been added to the Cohere Jetpack which lists the first 20 (at present)&nbsp; OER (Open Educational Resources) Commons search results for the page you are currently viewing. The keywords in the page header are sent to the OER commons search (or if there are no keywords, the words in the page title). In the future we may add some page parsing as well.<br> <br>For each OER Commons result returned we are given the url to the actual OER page. This means that as well as allowing the learner to see a list of OERs and their summaries and click to visit the OER, we can also give the learner the opportunity to view any Cohere ideas that have been added to that related OER webpage while they are on the current page. <br> <br>This not only allows learners to discover possible OER courses or materials relevant to the site they are viewing but also to see Cohere ideas on those OERs that may be useful/interesting to them while they are on the current website.<br><br>
*'''Twitter'''. The Cohere Jetpack has on demand tweeting. You can enter your Twitter login details through the Cohere Jetpack settings. There is a Twitter button on each idea. If you click it, it sends the Cohere url for that idea as a tweet to your Twitter account.

Summary and reflections on Senario 1<br>  


By using Cohere Jetpack addon-on Anna could discover and bookmark Ivana’s ideas, and reuse them to create semantic connections between Ivana’s ideas and her ideas. This helped Anna to discover other Websites and ideas relevant to her investigation. By exploiting the description of the type of connection (semantic of the connection) she was also able to identify resources that triggered her critical thinking, since Ivana had labeled them as “challenging” her idea. Moreover from Ivana’s point of view, next time she explored her workspace she discovered a new connection, created by Anna, pointing directly to one of her ideas, and suggesting a new interesting reference to explore. The simple connection that Anna has created has established, from now on, a meaningful link from Anna’s and Ivana’s network of ideas and connections. These ideas and connections can be used by them and by any other learners to enrich their understanding on carbon emissions. In fact any other user navigating that OERs, and with a Cohere Jetpack add-on installed, will be able to access Anna’s and Ivana’s ideas, semantic connections and Websites directly from the sidebar while they are navigating the Web. <br><br>
