We have a client who has a requirement to define and manage a set of institutional tags which members can use for tagging portfolio content.
These tags must be:
- configured disabled per institution by default with the ability to enable
- only visible and selectable by institutional members
- clearly identifiable as institutional tags when selecting and filtering
-- and which institution if the user belongs to multiple using this feature
- non-editable by members outside of the institutional tag management screens
It is believed that this feature would make a good addition to Mahara core and could be extended in the future to helping with other features such as SmartEvidence classifications etc.
This is a very good addition to the current tagging and had come up previously with group tags as well, just not yet implemented.
What will be important to consider is the display of these tags (could be site and group tags in the future as well) so that we are not ending up with 2 or more menus where to input tags. It should still be easy for people to do like it is at the moment.
