Request for feedback: Add Group Community TA to content_reported notifications for cohorted courses

Hi everyone,

We are proposing an improvement to the content_reported notification for Discussions in cohorted courses and would like community feedback.

What is the proposed change?

Currently, the content_reported notification audience includes:

  • Discussion Admins
  • Discussion Moderators
  • Community TAs

However, Group Community TAs are not included, even though they moderate discussion activity within their assigned cohorts.

We propose:

  • Adding Group Community TAs to the notification audience
  • But only for the cohort(s) they are assigned to
  • Not for General topics that are visible across the whole course

How it would work

A new audience filter would be added:

GroupTAinCohortFilter

It would:

  • Take cohort IDs as input
  • Return the Group Community TAs assigned to those cohorts
  • Append them to the notification audience for content_reported

If the reported content is in a General topic, Group Community TAs should not be notified.

GitHub Issue for more details

GitHub Issue: Add Group Community TA to audience for content_reported notifications in cohorted courses · Issue #37717 · openedx/edx-platform · GitHub

Looking for community feedback on:

  • Whether this behavior makes sense for operators using cohort-based moderation
  • Whether this should be a global or per-course config toggle
  • Any workflow or privacy concerns

Thanks in advance for your input!

Including this role in the notification for reported content makes sense to me! +1
