Talk:Student projects/User Management Improvements

Suggestion: It would be great to have an enrollment interface that was organized by student so that if the administrator wants to enrol a particular student in a number of courses, he wouldn't have to click into every course that he wants to enrol the student in. It might function in a manner similar to the Assign roles page, with three columns:

• Column 1: All available students
• Column 2: All courses in which the currently highlighted student is currently enrolled
• Column 3: All available courses in which the currently selected student is not yet enrolled

with back-and-forth arrows between columns 2 and 3.

For example:

STUDENTS     ENROLLED     AVAILABLE
Jay Smith    Science      Math
Kay Tan                <  English
Lori Zen               >  Social Studies
                          History
                          Geography

shows that Kay Tan is currently enrolled in Science. Highlighting any of the available courses and pressing < would enrol Kay Tan in the selected course(s), or pressing > would unenrol her from any course selected in the Enrolled column.

For what it's worth, I think this is an excellent suggestion. I believe this is even more important for non-student accounts, like teachers, whom we cannot allow to enrol themselves. User-centric operations -- as opposed to course-centric operations -- have been missing from the Moodle interface since the beginning, IMHO. If there's anything I can do to contribute, please get in touch. Chris Fryer 15:23, 24 July 2007 (CDT)

Thank you for the code, Chris! I'll look on it soon, and although it won't be extended as part of the GSoC, we hope to make your wish come true ;) Andrei Bautu
