My vision is that we would create Moodle Classes for all the various groupings that students have throughout the day.<div><br></div><div>Then maybe the Neighborhood view shows only people who share a group with you, or maybe those people get preference if the Neighborhood gets too crowded.</div> <div><br></div><div>On the Friends view it might be useful to pick just one of these groups. So if I'm in Reading Group A right now I could choose Reading Group A in a drop down in the friends view and it would show only people in my reading group. Later I am in Mr. J's Afterschool club and I pick that so I can work with them. After that I'm in homework time and I want to work on my Reading Group, I can use this to easily see if anyone else from my Reading Group is around to work on the homework assignment with.</div> <div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 11:46 AM, Benjamin M.

It could simply show, say, the 20 people with whom we have most<br> recently collaborated. This would discard existing functionality in favor<br> of different, new functionality. I suspect that this would still be an<br> improvement, and that the current Friends view is little-used, but it<br> would be nice to have confirmation from deployers before tearing out that<br> feature.<br> <br> Ideally, both of these functions could coexist in the context of the<br> Groups View, but we have only the vaguest mockups of how Groups should<br> function, and even less of a blueprint for implementing them.<br> <br> --Ben<br> <br> <br>_______________________________________________<br> Sugar-devel mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a><br> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Caroline Meeks<br>Solution Grove<br>Caroline@SolutionGrove.com<br><br>617-500-3488 - Office<br>505-213-3268 - Fax<br> </div>
