Sorry it has taken me a while to respond.
We would definitely want to keep everything in the group as often submission are group work.
I think the journal issue is an interesting one, as it would be necessary for prosperity of the entire group but as far as assessment goes it would be whatever was on the pages that would be counted. Perhaps if we could look at exporting the group pages first, so that they aren't lost once students move on from a project but are needed to comply with assessment regulations or to be displayed (with the students consent) as examples of great work. Then we could look at journals and forums later?
I have the following notes from my colleague Mira:
'Hi Domi,
Aaron's 1-4 - yes broadly correct, although re (2) there is always a slim chance that students use a page other than their group's About page to link things together (not sure if this matters technically).
Aaron asks what method are we using to lock the group at the deadline.
Since all students have Admin role, currently we upload a spreadsheet which converts the students' role from Admin to Member. In the group settings we ensure the Member role can't edit. Sadly, without a way to export/copy the space, the space becomes the sole assessment record and so they can never edit again (hence our request).
Yes, HTML export would be sufficient for our purposes I think, since as you say it allows a fixed version for records while allowing students to treat the Mahara version as a work in progress and continue to edit it. But LEAP2A seems a good idea, since it is in line with what you can do with an individual portfolio.
Regarding who should be able to export a group space, I agree with Domi's suggestion that the Group Admin role should be able to export, but Group Member role shouldn't. This seems the best avenue for managing intellectual property and privacy issues.
Aaron asks should forums be included in the export.
I think this should be an include/exclude setting since I think there is a case to treat the forum as separate.
Thanks,
Mira'
