Mahara+Twitter?
02 June 2009, 3:23
Hi Heinz!I'm trying to put Twitter in the profile page, for more easily to students, but not how.
Please help, the truth is that even I have a lot to learn in Mahara, particularly in relation to creating communities. It's very new for me but with a great philosophy, which helps me to keep learning.

Hola Clara,
if you want to look for twitter hashtags, just fill http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=H1_eP in the approbiate field. Change H1_eP with your hashtag.

Hola,

Students can be member of different institutions. If your mahara site has different institutins they are asked during the registration process which institution to join. Please remember that all users are visible inside Mahara.

I take this opportunity to advance another of the comments that I was waiting to do. The fact that users are all simultaneously visible in a Mahara installation is not exhaustive? Could not be useful if a user chooses whether to be visible or not? For example I find useful that a user is always visible in an institution, but, in my opinion, should be able to choose whether to be visible to all other users.

At the moment, users can't hide from anyone. But, we do plan in future to allow "walled gardens" inside Mahara, so that you can say things like "users in this institution can't see anyone outside it", or "users in this institution can see users in these other institutions but not those ones". It should help for our national eportfolio service, where we have lots of schools but some don't want to have their students visible to other schools.

Hi - students can belong to more than one institution if you tick the box in the Admin Site Options that allows this. It's off by default.
