Where in the TOC?

Please can anyone help by suggesting where in the TOC it would make most sense to include the following items:

--Helen Foster 16:35, 1 October 2011 (WST)

Activities > (sitewide) communication tools? We do not have anything that addresses "Email" except a contributed module. We call chat and forums activities. Notes is on the communication tool template with Comments, blogs, messaging, tags and calendar. I would drop the "sitewide", maybe call it "Communications". Might add chat and forums. --Chris collman 20:55, 2 October 2011 (WST)

Blocks

I see the Blocks template only has the navtrail. I wonder if we can group Blocks together so the list is not so long and in something rather than strictly alpha (close to random) order. Then the Block template would show fewer entries and readers could drill down. --Chris collman 21:02, 2 October 2011 (WST)

Chris, sorry it took me so long to realise my mistake in missing the list of blocks from the blocks template! How do you think the block pages look now? The only problem I think with grouping blocks together is coming up with short titles for the groups. --Helen Foster 16:48, 4 October 2011 (WST)

Student information

One of Moodle Docs weakness is our lack of documentation for the student. Students might need to know some basics, just like teachers. --Chris collman 19:38, 3 October 2011 (WST)

Hi Chris, I've always understood that we're trying to develop Moodle to be user-friendly enough to make documentation for students unnecessary apart from one or two help popups. However I must confess I still don't understand security keys ;-) --Helen Foster 16:53, 4 October 2011 (WST)

My Profile settings

"My Profile" is in the sitewide settings template that has site administrator focus. There are 5 links that appear under the My Profile settings link.--Chris collman 19:38, 3 October 2011 (WST)
