[Using Sakai] Does anyone allow instructors to edit/change their course site title

[Ward, Lynn E.]

HI everyone,

At Indiana University, we allow site owners to edit their site titles for portfolio sites and projects sites, but not for course sites.  All of our course sites use the same naming convention: semester campus department course_number section_number (e.g.,  FA13-IN-CHEM-C106-21206) and this is what shows up in the tabbed navigation.  Over the years we've received complaints from faculty and students that it's hard to distinguish between courses offered in the same program because the course titles are not descriptive.  More recently we've had a request from one of our schools to turn on the ability to edit course site titles under Site  Info > Edit Site Information.

Does anyone else allow their faculty to change alter the title of the site in official course sites?  And if so, has this created any significant support issues?  IF this has proven to be a Pandora's Box at other schools, we probably don't want to open it.

Best regards,

Lynn
