Convert Single-Subject Unit to Transdisciplinary Unit
D
Doug Thorn
The User's Request:
The user is asking if there is a way to convert an established single-subject unit into a transdisciplinary unit after it has been created.
Gap Identified:
The provided Help Center article details extensive functionality for managing units (duplicating, sharing, editing, deleting) and viewing them in various formats (Card, Timeline, Table). However, it explicitly does not mention the ability to change the fundamental type of a unit (Single Subject to Transdisciplinary/Interdisciplinary) after creation. The platform currently treats the unit type as a fixed, immutable property set during the initial creation step.
Proposed Solution:
Implement a feature (likely within the "Manage unit" 3-dot menu or Settings) that allows an authorized user (Unit Owner/Admin) to change the unit type. This action should:
Unlock the ability to add standards from multiple subjects.
Preserve all existing content (description, learning experiences, assessments).
Possibly prompt the user to select additional subject affiliations for the unit.
In summary, the request is:
To enhance unit flexibility by allowing the conversion of a Single Subject unit into a Transdisciplinary (or Interdisciplinary) unit post-creation, enabling seamless collaboration and standards integration for specialist teachers without requiring them to rebuild the unit from scratch.
