Description Sage Ross 2013-05-02 00:04:55 UTC
Currently, the city and country fields for an institution are required, and the list of countries is limited to actual geographical places.

To account for virtual institutions such as P2PU, these fields should be optional with the possibility of leaving them blank.
Comment 1 Pete F 2013-05-02 00:18:47 UTC
In case of any objection to making it possible to leave them blank -- I would be fine with a list item that says "virtual" or similar instead. Thanks for filing this Sage!
Comment 2 Jeroen De Dauw 2013-05-02 11:41:05 UTC
Allowing them to be blank might result in people being lazy and not filling them in at all for non-virtual courses. What about having a "is virtual course" checkbox, that when checked, hides those fields (and makes then non-required ;p)?
Comment 3 Sage Ross 2013-05-03 13:33:57 UTC
Jeroen, that's a good solution; makes how to list it properly a little more obvious than either leaving it blank or having a "virtual" entry listed among the countries.
Comment 4 Pete F 2013-05-03 17:29:47 UTC
I concur :)
