Bug #: 39316
Summary: course pages should support communication between
students and volunteers
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: EducationProgram
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The biggest thing I could see to help the course pages make it easier for
students to get started would be a simple way for them to communicate with the
editors (such as ambassadors or the instructor) who are helping them. To that
end, I suggest something like a big "ask a question" or "help me" button on the
course page that brings a popup entry box for a student to ask for help. The
student's request would get posted in a new section to the talk page (and the
popup confirmation message should link to the talk page).
Even better would be an opt-out option for instructors and ambassadors to be
notified on their own talk pages whenever a new help request is posted by a
student, pointing them to the talk page where they can answer the student.
This would significantly reduce the coordination cost and level of confusion
for ambassadors and students trying to figure out the best ways to communicate
with each other.
