Feature spotlight: New My DIVA Page

If you haven’t already noticed, the new DIVA 2.0 release updated the way your My DIVA page works. In this blog, I’m going to quickly talk about some of the features that you now have available to you.

Overview:

The Overview tab is similar to the My DIVA page from the DIVA’s original release. From here you can use the Tool bar to Upload files, and create New courses or groups.  The New DIVA web document tool has been moved here to accommodate changes we made to DIVA web documents. In addition, you now have access to the totally new Blog post tool.  Quick List lets you access your active courses and groups, while any courses you Archive will be present only in the Workspace. Totally new to the Overview page are the Recent Activity feed which lets you know how other DIVA users are using your files and My Blog which shows your most recent DIVA blog entry.

Workspace:

The Workspace area is totally new and replaces the original DIVA’s file manager. Here you can organize any files you’ve uploaded into DIVA by category and access all of your files, DIVA web documents, and Courses, including courses you’ve archived. There is also a Tool bar to help you create new categories, upload files, create new courses or groups, and work on new DIVA web documents and slideshows.

Public View:

Public View is a preview of what your My DIVA page looks like to visitors. You can specify blog entries specifically for this page.

Settings:

This is where you access your account settings and edit your contact info as well as different profile fields that will show up on the Public View of your My DIVA page.

That’s a quick rundown of all the features that are now part of the My DIVA page. In future editions of Feature Spotlight I’ll go over some of the new features like Course Archiving and Blog posting in depth.
