Good point, Brian. In this context, the Mahara accounts are controlled on the Moodle side. It's set in such a way that users can only access Mahara via their Moodle account.
But I think this is something worth discussing in a larger context. What happens when students “graduate” from KiHS, NED and YICT? Or people who want to remove their account from myKnet.org, firstnation.ca, or other KO sites?Currently, we do this on pre-request basis, but it might be worth considering some kind of “delete my account” button for all these sites.
As far as the NED Program goes, students are encouraged to keep using the site to stay connected with their peers (there’s a social space on the site for this purpose), but accounts that are dormant for more than a year are automatically deleted.
