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)
