Learning2.0 : Journey to about2findout.com

Announcing : the first trivia tournament on about2findout.com!

In July, the first Big Trivia Tournament will go live. This is what you can expect:
- There will be 25 brand new quizzes posted during the entire month. That is almost one per day.
- Only logged in users can participate (if needed you can create a free account)
- You have the entire month to solve the quizzes, so you can do it when best fits you. Do one every day, do them all at the end, or before or after you take a holiday.
- Your tournament score is the sum of all points on all the questions in the tournament. You will still get your regular points too and those include the double points for getting 7 or more on a quiz. For the tournament, it's just the sum of your points on the questions you had right.

So, just a little more patience, and the game begins...

Similar to the about2findout.mobi site, I changed the main web site to also give you the choice of 3 different random questions when you are not following a quiz.

Check it out here.

Labels: about2findout

I've updated the challenges. Now you can challenge a contact directly, or just go to the 'challenge contact' page in the Club Zone, and select from one of three random questions to challenge with.

The Club Zone main page also has an overview of open challenges and challenges won and lost.

The site was launched in December last year, and I've already reported you on the first month. Here is what happened in January:

In January, some new features such as RSS feeds, 3 new question types and the Friday QuizDay newsletter were introduced. But what is different from last month is that there were no Google or other advertisements to drive traffic to the site. I wanted to test the 'residual' visits after promoting it one month, and just rely on the blog, visitors own promotion and Friday Quizday flash. It was not bad. Statistics come from the free Google Analytics service.

- The site had a total of 1392 unique visits (down from 1512), 65% of them new visits and good for a total page view of 9282.

- There is a lot of variation in visitors per day. The high peaks are not there anymore because there were no Google ads this month. The average is around 45 daily visitors, with peaks of 80 or more. In the weekends there is a drop in visitors. The Friday Quizday flash has effects on Friday and Monday.

- Visitors stay on average 4 minutes, but there is a 58% bounce rate (only visit 1 page)

- Browsers: IE is still the most used browser with 66%, but that is a 7% drop by last month.

- 61% of people find us via Google.

- There were 19 new members, some of them got really active on the site. This month we also had the first quiz in German.

- The numbers of questions and quizzes increased significantly. We went from 225 to 522 published questions!

- The top 5 of visiting countries: Unites States, Belgium, United Kingdom, India, Netherlands.

- The Hall of Fame after two months:

There is a new section called 'My.Achievements' in the profile section that lists the quizzes you scored 7 or more on (and thus passed, they are called 7of9 quiz remember?). The list is in chronological order, starting with the latest quiz you passed.

I've added Question analytics and Quiz analytics pages to the site tonight.

When you are done with a question or a quiz, you will find a link to the analytics in the navigation box on the right. That's where you will see all kinds of properties of the item, but that's also the place where you can see the scores of other people. For privacy reasons, you can only see the scores of people who added you as a contact.

So for example, if a teacher asks his or her students to add him (or her again) as a contact, the teacher can see their scores. It is a first step towards reporting, but should cover the immediate needs. Oh, and the reports and difficulty levels are not reliable if not at least 10 people participated.

The most challenging new question type that is available since today on about2findout.com is the open answer type. It just provides a textbox where you can type in the answer.

Try it here:


I did not want a stupid question type where the answer is compared to the exact string that the author provides. That leads to a lot of frustration if you don't type in exactly what the author has in mind. What if you forget a capital? What if you type in a space too much by mistake? What if there are multiple correct answers or ways to answer?

So this is how it works:

- The author types in the question and hint (optional), and indicates the expected answer. That can be free text, or one word, a number, a name (= 2 words) or a year (= 4 digits). The question taker will only be able to type in appropriate characters in the box, and see a little watermark telling what we are looking for. In my question example I'm looking for the name of a city, which is one word. So you cannot type in spaces or weird characters like @ and % in the answer box.
The default is free text without exotic characters.

- The author can also indicate if the answer should be evaluated case sensitive or not. In my example, I didn't require it, although the names of cities should be spelled with a capital. But beijing and Beijing are both fine. The default is case insensitive.

- The author can provide a list of correct answers. In my example, I accept both Beijing and Peking (the older name) as correct answers. When the answer is a name for example you could accept just the last name, the first and last name or the last and first name.

- The question taker's answer is preprocessed: trailing spaces are removed, and the spaces between words are one maximum, so extra spaces that one types in by mistake are ignored.

- Then I'm looking for the closest match with one of the correct answers. If I find a 100% match the answer is correct. If I find a match below 50% the answer is false. If the highest match is between 50% and 100% the question taker can try again, and gets a hint with the characters that were right. That way they can correct for little spelling mistakes.

I'm sure the algorithm can be improved to have a more accurate scoring, but for now it should work fine for both authors and quiz takers.

You can now also make sorting questions on about2findout.com. As an author, you can specify up to 6 items that need to be ordered. It might be a chronological order, or steps in a process, etc. As a question taker, you see the items in random order and can use up and down arrows to put them in the correct order.

Do the sample below to order the Olympic cities of the past 6 Olympiads:


http://www.about2findout.com/quickcode.aspx?code=W23U3B

At first, I wanted to use the ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit's Reorder control. But I couldn't find any tutorials on how to use it, and it seems to only work while databounded to a data source. So instead of a nice drag and drop component the arrows will have to do for now.

Labels: about2findout, new, reorder

The past weekend I programmed 3 new question types on the site. The first one was the easiest one: a true/false question type. I actually hesitated long time before making it, because it is not really a new type. It is just a very particular multiple choice questions with two predefined options. So it was easy to implement, and I reused a lot of the existing multiple choice question type.

The benefit for authors is that you don't have to type in the words 'true' or 'false' anymore, you just select the right one. That should save about 10 seconds :-). As a little extra for question takers, the default true or false text will be completed with a random message to make it a little more spicy. For example: 'False' might become 'False - Liar, liar, pants on fire.'

To sample a brand new true/false question, take the one below:

Labels: about2findout, new, true/false

I finally got around to create RSS feeds for about2findout.com. Now you can subscribe to new quizzes in English, new quizzes in Dutch and new questions by a certain member.


What are RSS feeds?
A key characteristic of modern 2.0 web sites is that you don't have to visit them every single time to check for new items. The content comes to you via something called RSS feeds. You can subscribe to news items, or get notified when a blogger posts a new article, or when a Flickr member posts a new photo, etc. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and is basically a little file on a web site that lists the latest additions. So the web site has to have this RSS service. You, the user, need to have a little program to see and manage all your subscriptions. Some e-mail clients like Thunderbird have an RSS reader. Browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer have build-in capabilities for subscribing to RSS feeds these days. I'm using a free service from Google, called Google Reader to read all the stuff I'm subscribed to. Bloglines is another popular web-based RSS reader.

How to subscribe?
If a site has subscriptions, you will see it via the orange RSS icon. In modern browsers, you will be able to directly subscribe to them by clicking the icon and adding them to your RSS reader. Otherwise you can always copy/paste the URL of the feed manually in your reader.

Firefox shows the RSS button on the right end of the address bar, if a feed is available.



Internet Explorer 7 shows the RSS button next to the home button, but it is only enabled when one or more feeds are available.








RSS feeds in about2findout.com
On the home page and on the main page of the Quiz Zone, there is an automatic feed for new quizzes in English that your browser will detect. On the profile page of a member, there is an automatic feed available and a link to subscribe to all new questions of that member. The feed shows the last 10 additions and has a link to the question or quiz. A central page with direct links to all feeds that are available is here:

http://www.about2findout.com/feeds.aspx

How did I do it?
I used the ASP.NET RSS 2.0 Toolkit to create the feeds. It is a free asp.net component, available on Codeplex. You can find a nice tutorial on ScottGu's blog and on Piyush Shah's blog. What I did in essence was:
1- download the toolkit and sample site from Codeplex
2- add the components to Visual Studio (right click on the toolbar and choose 'select items' and point to the RSS toolkit dll file.
3- create an .ashx handler file, based on the sample in the toolkit that checks the request parameters of the page and creates the feed items based on that
3- add an RssHyperLink component to every page you want to have an automatic feed detection and point it to the .ashx file.
It took me a couple of hours playing with the sample site to figure out how it works, but the components are very good and you get a feed in no time published. I can recommend this toolkit to anyone wanting to publish RSS or atom feeds in an asp.net application.

Today I launched another new item on about2findout.com : the What's New? page. You can find the page via the navigation box in the Quiz Zone, or via a new link in the top right corner of the main screen.

It shows you what has happened in the last 1, 7 or 30 days.

- Top scorer and top country of that period (for this week it is elgoto with 60 points and Belgium with 95 points).

- New quizzes

- New persons who joined

- New questions

Labels: about2findout, new

I 'stumbled upon' a new bookmarking site, called AddThis.com. It allows you to submit a page you like to many social bookmarking sites at once (like Digg, StumbleUpon, Technorati, etc). So I changed the bookmarking buttons on the question and quiz pages (actually, I moved them to the 'share this' popup) and replaced them by the AddThis.com button. The button with a pull-down menu doesn't work together with the AJAX JavaScript, so I had to add the static one.

Labels: about2findout, addthis.com, del.icio.us, social bookmarking, stumbleupon

I've implemented an automatic adjustment of the difficulty level of questions. As you know, the difficulty level is indicated by 1, 2 or 3 gray dots, and depending on the level you can win or loose 1, 2 or 3 points when you solve the questions. The level is set by the author in the Author Zone (properties tab).

But once a question has at least 10 views, the level gets updated automatically once a day by Otto, the new automatic agent of the site. The rules are:
- If more than 66% of people know the answer, the level is 1 (easy)
- If between 33% and 66% of people know the answer, the level is 2 (moderate)
- If less than 33% of people know the answer, the level is 3 (difficult)

Otto (the automatic agent of the site) is implemented in ASP.NET. I looked hard to find an asp.net task scheduler, but couldn't find one. Many implementations use a console application that calls a web service, or use the Windows Task Scheduler. I don't have access to either on my hosted environment at seekdotnet.com. If you do control your own server, those solutions might work for you:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/ASPNETService.aspx
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vb/WebJobScheduler.aspx

I don't need fancy schedulers that run if the application is down or idle, so I just added some code in the global.asax file in the Session_End section. That way every time a session is ended, the code runs and checks the database if a job should run. It works.

While I was at it, I also made Otto send messages when your questions reach 10 or 100 views, or when someone adds you as a contact. Otto only speaks English, and I hope that is not a problem.

I fixed a few bugs in the points system. You can no longer get points for your own questions. And when you publish a new question or quiz, you get 3 points (previously 5), but you get one extra point if the question has feedback, and one more extra point if your question contains more information in the form of links or text. (So that is still 5 in the end.) Here are the new rules:

• Only logged on users can get points, so join for free to keep track of your score!
• You get or loose points when you answer questions.
  • If you answer correctly, you get 1, 2 or 3 points depending on the difficulty of the question. The difficulty of a question is determined by how many people have it right.
  • If you answer wrong the first time, nothing happens because everyone makes mistakes (but smart people only make them once).
  • If you answer wrong on the same question again, you loose 1, 2 or 3 points depending on the difficulty of the question.
  • There is a grace period of 30 days wherein you cannot get scored for the same question again. You can see if you've done a question lately by the green or red squares in the overview tables.
  • You cannot get points for your own questions.
• You get double points when you have 7 or more on a quiz.
  • When you score 7 or more on a 7of9 quiz, the points you scored on that quiz are doubled. You only get the extra points when you have made all 9 questions.
• You get points when you publish a question or quiz.
  • You get 3 points when you publish a new question or a new quiz.
  • You get an extra point if you provide feedback with your question.
  • You get an extra point if you provide more information (either via text or via links) to your question or quiz.
  • You do not get any additional points when you republish a question.
• You can loose all your points when you are violating the code of conduct.

Labels: about2findout, new, points

I've implemented a long awaited feature on the site: you can now see what questions you already did.

On the question and quiz tables in the Quiz Zone and Club Zone you now have icons to indicate if you have done a question before. If you hover over the icon, you even get the question QuickCode and the last date you took it. On the image you see the latest questions from my contact Diego (elgotes) on Spielberg. They are difficult :-).

Means you did the question or quiz successfully in the last month. You can do it again, but you can't get any more points during this period.

Means you did the question or quiz unsuccessfully in the last month. You can do it again, but you can't get any more points during this period.

Means you did the question or quiz successfully but more than a month ago. You can do it again this time and see if you still remember. But beware! If you are wrong points go off.

Means you did the question or quiz unsuccessfully but more than a month ago. Now is the time to prove you have learned something and do it again. But beware! If you are wrong again points go off.

I've updated the search page. Now you can search for people in the same country.
- Go to the search page via Quiz Zone --> Search
- Click on the tab 'Search for people'
- Select the country in the drop-down box (it should be populated with your own country)
- Press OK

Other improvements on the search page include a link to the questions created by the persons you search. Under the navigation box you can also see how many questions are in the database and how many of them you have solved. If you click on any of the search result questions, you can just click the Next Question button to go to the next question in your search list, no need to go back to the search page. And searching for people will now get you a direct link to their questions. Did you also know that you can click on the underlined headers in the table to sort it? Click once for sorting ascending, twice for sorting descending.

I was surprised to see 17 members from India, out of the 57. Welcome guys and girls!

The site launched a month ago with the AIDS Day Quiz. As I used Google AdWords to promote that quiz, there were about 80-90 visitors a day. Later it dropped back to 20 per day and went up again around the time the Christmas Quiz was launched. That one was promoted again via AdWords, and linked in my Christmas wishes to everyone. Biggest hit was on December 21 with 145 hits. Yesterday on Christmas I had 70. Here are some statistics from the first month of the site, provided by the free service Google Analytics:

- I had 1512 unique visitors (83.10% new visits) that viewed 12745 pages.
- That is an average page view of 7.06.
- People stay on average 4 minutes 36 seconds on the site.
- 47.37% only visit one page.
- Browsers: 73.91% use Internet Explorer, 22.99% use Firefox.
- I had visits from 106 countries. The top 5 country list is: USA, India, UK, Belgium, Canada.
- 32.24% is referred via Google, 23.38% via advertisement
- I spent 62.71 euro on Google AdWords advertising, and got 710 clicks for it. My add showed 410.392 times.
- There are now 225 published questions in the database
- There are now 59 registered members
- The Hall Of Fame after one month:

Today I started a new blog, this time not at Blogger, but at Wordpress. I'm happy with Blogger, don't get me wrong, but I want to experience the difference. And above all, for the new blog I want to be able to postdate articles so they automatically get published on a future date.

So far I find the service very similar, with a little more ease of use for Blogger. Time will tell which one I like more.

The purpose of the new blog called 'Quizman's Quiz Qlog (QQQ)' is to promote one new quiz per week. It's one of the initiatives I'm taking to make the site more well known. After building the basics in 2007, the focus for 2008 is going to be on growing it and getting people to visit, use and like the site. (And I'll keep improving it naturally.) Today I got the nicest compliment from Diego, a friend from Argentina who visited my site: "Its not just for fun, its like a drug!!!! hahahaha. Excellent site! and im learning a lot too!!Hugs back ". And that's indeed what's it all about. (The learning and fun, not the drugs thing.)

Another new feature added today on the Quiz site about2findout.com is the Question Card or Quiz Card. When you publish a question or quiz, a card image is automatically generated with the first lines of the question on it. Clicking on the card will directly get you to the question or quiz. Via the promote link in the Author Zone, you can get the HTML code to add such a card to your website or blog. The cards are also used internally to offer random questions to visitors.

Labels: about2findout, new, promote, Question Card

There have been updates to the question and quiz screens.

- The 'more information' and 'share' links are now moved to the navigation box on the right.
- The share link shows the QuickCode as well as the direct URL to the question or quiz
- Quizzes also get scored for anonymous users now.
- The tags are always visible and moved to the central part, under the question information.
- The quiz page only shows the green score box, not the red one and the question backgrounds
have been updated.

- There is a new part that shows the last three people who succesfully made the question or the last three people who scored 7 or more on the quiz.
- The links to post the question or quiz to Blink, Digg, Furl, Google, Magnolia, NewsVine, Reddit, Spurl, Technorati and Delicious now work.
- Three random other questions or quizzes are suggested in the right bar.

Another small improvement is on the search page, that now also searches quizzes. But best of all, when you click on one of the questions on the search page, you can navigate to the next on the list without having to search again. And on popular demand you now get an indication if you have already answered a question recently. Recently means in the last 30 days.

Labels: about2findout, design, new

There are a bunch of new features available today on about2findout.com. The first one I'd like to introduce is the QuickCode.

Every question and quiz has a unique code with numbers and letters. A question has a 6-digit quickcode, and a quiz has a 5-digit unique code. You can find the codes back in various places on the site, for example under every question. You can also find it back in the promotion page of your own questions. (Go to Author Zone, and click on the link Promote next to one of your questions.)

The home page now has a new box in the upper left corner where visitors can directly type in the QuickCode and go to the quiz or question at hand. That means you can share your quizzes and questions by just giving other people the QuickCode and the site name.

Try it: the QuickCode for the Aids World Day Quiz for example is AMH7E .

Labels: about2findout, new, quickcode

Now that a beta version of my site has just gone live, it is time to promote it! So I've decided to try out the world's most famous Internet advertisement company: Google. Google has a paying service (that generates about all of its income by the way) called AdWords. It allows you to create the familiar ad campaigns you see on the Google search pages. The principle is simple: you create your ad and link it with a list of keywords. Then you say how much you are willing to pay per click (I chose 0.09 euro cent because the estimator didn't give any results below that) and a maximum amount you want to spend a day (I chose 5 euro). An auction mechanism then determines what users will see your add based on the search terms they entered and other advertisers that bid for the same words.

The setup of the account was easy. You get the choice between a starter and a standard account type. The differences are listed here. I had to go for a standard account because otherwise I could only target one country. There is a lot of help assisting you choosing the right keywords and settings. But you should very carefully check the review page just before you sign up! All of the sudden Google had changed my maximum rates to 500 euro a day and 9 euro per click. I suppose a calculation error with the comma, but not funny if it is your money. So I went back and changed it. I also linked my AdWords account with my Google Analytics account.

I obviously don't want to go broke on AdWords because I'm running a completely free site here, but I want to see its effect and play around with it. The campaign I'm running right now is about the World Aids Day Quiz. I'll let it run for 1-2 weeks and let you know its impact in a follow-on post.

Labels: about2findout, Adwords

I added a quiz type to about2findout.com. It is called the 7of9 quiz, and the concept is simple. The quiz has 9 questions. As before, every question will get you 1, 2 or 3 points according to its difficulty level. After you've done all questions and if you answered at least 7 or more questions correct, you will get double points for the quiz.

The Author Zone now has a new button to create the quiz. First you edit the quiz by just adding the IDs of 9 questions. They don't have to be your own questions even, you can add any question. Next you can preview, publish or promote your quiz, just as you can for individual questions.
Please let me know if you like this new feature and how it can be improved or made easier.

The site has just gone live with its first quiz, the Aids Day 2007 Quiz. World Aids Day is traditionally held on Dec 1st, which is also my target date for the going live. Try it on:

I just realized I haven't posted an article in just under a month. First I was on holiday in Florida, then work got in the way and the last week I've been very, very busy preparing the go live of about2findout.com on Dec 1st. So it was just silence before the storm really :-). In fact I just uploaded both the brand new about2findout.com quiz 2.0 site to the root of the domain, and moved the experimental about3findout.com site to another server. So if you made links or bookmarks before, you will need to update them. The blog hasn't moved.

Tomorrow I'll be leaving for Berlin, where I'll attend the annual Online Educa Berlin conference on e-learning. It will be the fourth time I'm going and I'm looking forward to it as usual. The conference is a unique place with a mixed crowd of business and academics, and it is the time of year I go to contemplate on the work I've done so far, and what I want to do the next year. I'll be giving a session on the IBM Knowledge Factory and social software, and chairing another on learning in the enterprise.

The development site about3findout.com is 6 weeks old, and already got its third major user interface redesign. This time I tried to apply the most common principles of web 2.0 interfaces. Hope you like it and find it easier and more intuitive to navigate. It's still not done completely, but hey, it's 2.0 so perpetual beta :-) .

In this article I want to point you to the various places on the Internet that helped me to reshape the site.

First of all I redefined the color schemes for the site. I still have four separate color coded zones Quiz zone, Author zone, Club zone and Help zone. But the very bright and painful pink and green colors have been replaced. I went from a 3-color scheme to a 2-color scheme. For every zone there is one color 'letter' for the characters, and one softer color 'lightshade' for the background. There are a lot of color sites out there on the mighty Internet, and these were most helpful to me:

• The color toolbox lists useful sites that will learn you about colors on the web
• Color combos: this is the site I used to get matching color pairs in pink, blue, green and yellow. You can create and share color palettes on this site. Nice initiative.

The next site that helped me a lot was the 'Web 2.0 How-do-design Guide' on webdesignfromscratch.com. It inspired me into applying the following design principles:

• Simplicity: (As good as it gets - don't think users won't find their way and clutter the screen with useless information)
• Central design: My previous interface could scale across the screen. This one has a fixed body of 800 pixels so it should fit on 800*600 screens. Larger screens will have white margins.
• Two columns: one main body and one navigation and command column on the right
• Separate and clearly visible top section: I now have a big black belt on top so the body stands out from the header. The logo is always 'in your face'.
• Navigation: clear navigation sections in the colored boxes on the right.
• Big text: average font sizes have increased on the Internet since web 2.0
• And then things like the 'beta' star, the rounded corners, the gradient backgrounds,...

And luckily these days you don't need to be a graphical artist yourself to create nice logo's, boxes, gradients, backgrounds or tabs. All that is available for free on the net. Here is what I used and recommend:

• Tabsgenerator.com : nice site to generate tabs in various formats and colors
• Stripegenerator.com : from the same makers as tabsgenerator.com, this site lets you very easily create the o so popular striped backgrounds
• Web20badges.com : didn't use them yet, but if I ever need a badge or 'new' star sign, this is the place to get it
• LogoCreatr : the web 2.0 logo was created with the logo creatr. There is another popular logo creator site here, but I found the logocreatr better because it allows for multiple designs and more configuration options such as colors, size and transparency.
