5. Maintainability: Clear tag structure makes future updates easier

Future Considerations

Potential Improvements

• Add more specific tags for user roles (student, faculty, staff)
• Add tags for specific software versions
• Add tags for course levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• Add tags for project types (prototyping, production)

Tag Maintenance

• Quarterly review of tag usage
• Remove unused tags
• Merge similar tags
• Update documentation as needed
