Study Group Sign-Up

One of the main features of release 0.3 is the addition of the sign-up process.

  • If interested in signing up for a group, a user chooses "Participate" which opens up a page that has both the user's profile for updating as well as lists the standard sign-up questions.
  • After making sure the profile is up-to-date, the user inputs the answer(s) and submits. On doing so, the applicant automatically becomes a follower of the group which makes it visible in the user's dashboard. (note that followers do not receive notifications by email, but applicant will receive emails related to their application)
  • The organizer can "accept" the answer which converts the follower into a participant and makes their answer visible to other participants in the group.
  • If more information is necessary from the applicant before accepting the application it is possible to reply in order to continue the discussion.

Improved Tasks Pages

  • "Course Content" is now titled "Tasks" to better fit the task-oriented model.
  • Tasks, and also the study groups full description save their history of editions so it is possible to go back to a previous version.
  • By default they are marked as collaborative (which means that all participants can edit them), but the organizers can choose to disable this for particular tasks.
  • Threaded-comments are supported now.
  • Report as abuse was included for tasks and comments.

Study Groups List

  • Added sections for "Study Groups Open for Sign-Up", "Active Study Groups", and "Study Groups Under Development".
