COVE Overview Dashboard
Description
This set of documents will provide a metaphorical (and also literal) map of the development of COVE. COVE (Collaborative Organization for Virtual Education), a non-profit classroom and publication platform, provides teachers and researchers with two distinct locations for their work: 1) COVE Studio, a password-protected space for the accumulation of public domain, Creative Commons and fair use primary texts that can be easily edited, prepared for annotation, and assembled into custom anthologies for reading and group annotation; and 2) COVE Editions, an open-access publishing platform, which makes it possible to disseminate knowledge: not only peer-reviewed and copy-edited work from various fields, but also flipped-classroom research projects by students. This space makes use of our open-access and open-source publication tools: a timeline-builder (TimelineJS), a map-builder (OpenLayers), a gallery-builder (Drupal), and a Drupal area for group assembly (complete with graphs indicating individual contributions); we have integrated these tools so groups can easily collaborate on projects and build new content.

Mitchell used COVE's gallery builder for a virtual exhibition, “Drawn to Books” Gallery, an open-access repository of images from the books and artworks in an exhibition collaboratively produced by students in her “Pre-Raphaelite Circle” module (“course,” in North American parlance) in 2017. The virtual exhibit complemented a brick-and-mortar exhibition that her students co-curated at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
