Feature Suggestion - Project Folders – Khan Academy Centre d'aide

Comment pouvons-nous vous aider ?

When you go to a person's profile you can either sort their programs by number of votes or by recent. This can make it difficult to find related programs if they have a different number of votes or were made at different points in time; especially if the person has a lot of programs.

So I have a suggestion that users be able to sort programs by what folders they are in. A user would be able to create folders and put related programs into one folder. Just being able to put programs into folders would be really helpful for keeping my profile organized and easy to navigate through. Also maybe you could make nested folders, although that's not really necessary on khan academy since khan academy users are unlikely to have more than a handful of programs that are related to each other.

I'm thinking that it would work similarly to Windows 10's File Explorer. Unlike adding backgrounds to a user's profile or making it possible to get to a person's KA profile from their support profile which are both fairly easy, I understand that making a folder system would be a lot of work and somewhat complex so I know it probably won't ever happen, but I do think it would be a great improvement to Khan Academy's Computing Platform.

I think a tagging feature would offer more than folders.

If you look at a lot of coding sites you'll see that you can tag your programs (sometimes limited to say 5 tags per program) which you could then "filter" your programs similar (but more flexible) to folders. Then KA could implement something where if you went to a person's projects page (or your own) you could have an option to filter by tag (or multiple tags) so you'd get a grouped view of your games, graphics, animations, simulations, web pages, etc.

Generally, to implement this, KA would likely need to setup a global taxonomy (or folksonomy in this case) where it would store all tags centrally. That way when you went to tag your project and started to type the tag name, it would bring up any tags that match (including synonyms), and maybe even a number of other projects that have used the same tag. So you get a "most common" list of tags too.

This would also be very useful when using the KA API as you could filter on only programs that had the tag "game" for example. Or build in a filtering feature in your (HTML) program.

It would also provide the ability for KA to improve the hot list (another tab maybe) with more advanced search features.

However, as you mentioned, this is definitely unlikely in the near term. Hopefully something the KA team can add to their list of future features post the upgrade project - can only hope :)

I really like that tag idea. It accomplishes the same goal, and is simpler and would be easier for the developers to implement.
