The link is now available: http://plen2.icme11.org/.

The question set isn't modelled exactly as it is shown here , but we need feedback. I got an error message upon using it, but it may not be our fault, the server has been giving us problems, and as it is an external hosting service, it is beyond our control (we did submit a support request). It may well be our code though: the error seemed to be there no matter what I tried (about 5 times, different inputs, both expected and unexpected answers).

We would appreciate comments as soon as possible. Of course, final say about presentation (such as splitting the question set into more than one page) belongs to David. I think the current formatting works.

  Thanks for your input! We have located the main source of trouble (a stale version of the requirements) and are taking steps to fix it. This is the version we are now using. Please let me know if you have a newer version. Cheers, Edgar

  PS The only point I wanted to clear up with you concerns the "open" data entry option in the "background information questions". There are actually two slightly different situations, as it could be argued that a list of countries can be considered exhaustive (modulo political differences with the "official" name).

  Dear Edgar - good to talk with you. I have attached a slight rewrite of the original document. In it, I have divided Questions 4, 5, 6 and 7 into two parts - A and B. As we discussed, respondents should be required to make a selection in Part A, but then have the option of providing additional detail in Part B. Note that this has involved some very small changes to the original questions (now Part A of each question) - PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THE TEXT ON THE WEBPAGE EXACTLY CORRESONDS TO THE TEXT IN THE LATEST VERSION OF THE DOCUMENT (ATTACHED). I am happy to leave Question 3 in its present form, with the list of countries already provided. I have not yet been able to access a revised version of the webpage - with the corrections identified in my last email. As per our conversation, it is very important that we launch the webpage by December 1, to give teachers around the world sufficient time to respond. Many thanks to all who have worked on this project. Regards from Australia, David Clarke Plenary Two Webpage Content 4 45KB (46592 bytes)

• Regarding today's changes (which are ready!) by Gunnar on Wednesday November 28, @08:15AM

  I'm sorry for taking so long (around 22 hours!) to implement this last change set - Done. Anyway, I have to ask you to refer to this message regarding the delay.

I just loged in to the plenary 2 page and I notice several things,

1) The changes to the questions David sent in the new version of the questionnaire, have NOT been implemented.

2) The text of the opening page is not complete. It's missing one complete sentence.

3) The welcoming message after login-in, is incomplete. I suggest changing it from "Welcome, Edgar J. Becerra-Bertram. You have successfully identified." to "Welcome, Edgar J. Becerra-Bertram. You have successfully loged-in." [The word "identified" sounds too much like a Big Brother situation.]

4) Question 4 reads "Select from the following list the category that best describes your work", which suggests that they mark only one option. The system should validate that only one is being chosen. I suggest that when they mark any option, the system should unmark any previously marked option. Actually, please notice that in the new version, the wording explicitly states that only one be chosen: "Select from the following list, one category that best describes where you work:"

Thanks. Best regards, Edgar abuelo
