Description

Hi All,

Following up on conversations from the dev and community calls about misclassified sites and groups. When a student is taking a course and has to create a site, they sometimes select the "teaching" purpose since the site is related to a class, which then adds the site to the courses tab even though it is not a course.

Do we want to consider adding a new purpose option for "class project" (or something along those lines) to minimize this misclassification in the future?

I like this idea a lot.

What is the technical lift on this?

Could we release this new purpose option in tandem with the release of the group auto-email to teaching faculty in order to deter students from selecting the "teaching" purpose in connection with class project? See https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14777#change-64021

Adding Boone and Ray as watchers to see if either/both has any input on Laurie's question about the tech aspect of this.

It should be as simple as adding one line of code to this function here: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/blob/983edc1a363067b7042eacd7a2d183fc23e703dd/wp-content/mu-plugins/cac-functions.php#L2004-L2018, but Boone would know more than me.

Ray is correct that this should be a very simple add.

The "class project" purpose looks good on cdev.
