OERca2-organizer-M

From openmichigan

[edit] overview

The organizer will serve both the standard user and the admin users. Users will be able to organize their own user information as well as objects. Admin users will be able to organize OERca for their organizational use, as well as organize how users access the system. Objects can be organized by applying labels. Labels do all the work hierarchical organization (like folders) does and give you an extra bonus: a user can add more than one to an object, depending on how the user wants to process it. For example, if a user at MIT OCW is building a course and needs to clear a number of IP objects embedded within multiple PDF files, the user can take those objects and organize them according to class, class section, or even production cycle by tagging it with the appropriate label. Another example is a dScribe2 at Open.Michigan, labeling all objects created by U-M dScribes to become part of a set or collection within Flickr. <dScribe organization scenario>
