Tech Updates

Spring Cleaning
As we emerge from our Kansas winter, time to get out the digital mop bucket and tidy up our BAIP accounts.

Errors In Content Or Functionality?
Have you noticed any errors in a tutorial or lesson? Maybe when you press a button something unexpected happens. Maybe you’ve simply been living with a few of these small inconveniences. No need to put up with anything that might not be quite right with BAIP. We’re here to fix and improve BAIP for you so it works just like you want it to.

On the top left of most BAIP pages you’ll see a “Report Error” link. This link is especially helpful if you’ve found an error in a tutorial or lesson, as our error reporting mechanism provides a clear way for you to exactly identify the resource with the problem. If you’re wondering if you “error” is actually and error, just assume it is and send it along. We’ve had numerous helpful users who’ve qualified error reports with the phrase, “I’m not sure if this is actually an error but….”. These users often have identified something in BAIP that, while the system isn’t technically broken, is confusing and unwieldy for users (in our book, confusing and unwieldy definitely counts as broken.)

Suggestion For Improving BAIP?
Is there something that BAIP doesn’t do that you wish it does? Or does BAIP do something that you wish it didn’t? Do you see a way BAIP could be a tad more useful or helpful to you? Do you envision a way BAIP could be changed or utilized? Also in the upper right side of most pages is a “Contacts” link. We encourage you to email or call us in the BAIP main office with any suggestion or comment. You’re the experts and we want to hear from you.

Even thought this is the “Tech Update” page, we’re not just asking for your technical suggestions. Any suggestions you have regarding BAIP would be appreciated!

Thanks for using BAIP this year and thanks for helping us make BAIP better.  As always, please feel free to contact me with your questions and comments.
