The main objective of this project is to detect and solve specific usability issues.

* [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/Timeline Timeline]
* [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/FAQ FAQ]
* [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/Downloads Downloads]
 
==Main tasks==
 
* Research in the tracker, forums, etc. to create a hitlist of the top 10 (or 20) specific usability issues.
* For each issue, identify the problem clearly (screenshots) and clearly describe one or more solutions (incl mock screenshots) for the community to evaluate.
* Create code to solve the problem with the best decided solution (optional, depending on Moodle community thoughts).
* Take a look at [http://fluidproject.org/ Fluid Project] (who we are involved with already) to
see where some of their components can be used in Moodle (optional).
 
==To do==
*Classify specific usability issues
*Identify the solutions
*Create code to solve the problem
*Take a look at Fluid Project
 
==Done==
*AI test
*Usability test
*Research in the tracker, forums, and hitlist
*Research the bibliography
 
This is the timeline I envision:
 
'''[https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/T1 T1]''': Research [[tracker]], research forums, wikis, mailing lists(2 weeks)
 
'''[https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/T2 T2]''': Try to find out other possible [[usability issues]] to address(1 weeks)
 
'''[https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/T3 T3]''': See how Moodle's usability can benefit from the [[Fluid project]] (2 weeks)
 
'''[https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/T4 T4]''': Classify and propose [[different solutions]] for the found usability problems (3 weeks)
 
'''[https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/T5 T5]''': [[Solve]] the problem (3 weeks)
 
'''[https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/T6 T6]''', ('''[https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/T7 T7]'''): Writing the [[documentation]] of the project (the guideline is optional) (2 weeks)
 
The timeline considering that in May/June I will be working half time in GSoC:
