| ===Results===
| |
| | |
| This successful project resulted in the contribution of the student in the review process of several issues (which can be seen in MDL-14639), [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/T5 proposing solutions] and implementing several ones that the community could use. She also performed some [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/T4#Usability_problems_found_when_talking_with_Moodle_users Usability Studies on the Gradebook] to understand better how to deal with future releases. She wrote a first a approach for a future [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/T7 Usability Guideline] for Moodle.

| ==XMLDB/SQLite==
| |
| | |
| This project is about adding SQLite to the Moodle database abstraction layer and adding a mechanism to copy a live Moodle database into a SQLite database to implement a mechanism to switch into 'testing mode' using a SQLite copy of the live database.

| ==Web 2.0 language editing interface==
| |
| | |
| Moodle is [[Translation|designed to be translated]] into many languages, and currently has over 70 language packs. The existing [[Language editing|language editing]] interface enables translators to check for untranslated words or phrases and also enables Moodle administrators to change words or phrases used in Moodle.
| |
| | |
| This project will involve creating a Web 2.0 language editing interface which will include features such as syntax error detection, a search and replace function for changing a particular word and a spell checker.
