Student projects/Usability issues/T5

Description of the solution of the usability problems:

Submit button at top

 Link: MDL-4151
 Possible solutions:
 1) Create a Movable type interface allows the user to specify where they want their submit
 button to be (at the top or at the bottom). It must be considered that option 1 can be
 implemented together with 2a and 2b.
 2a) Create a submit button at each end (top and bottom) would not go amiss.
 2b) Create a submit button at top, bottom or both depending on the caracteristics /
 functionality of the page.
 Solution: 2b
 Reason for adopting this solution:
 It is more usable 2b because it has been followed the following criteria:
 A) Site Administration: the pages there are short and it has more sense putting the submit
 button at bottom. Usually they are settings page and you want to change an option so you
 must read all options. Moreover the pages that need to have links repeated at bottom and at
 top (such as Accounts > Browse list of users) they already have the links repeated
 B) Administration of a course: here it has more sense to have the submit option both at
 both ends because it is some mechanical job, the pages are long, and perhaps you know by
 heart the default configuration so what you want is to do is save time. An example that has
 been changed is the backup functionality. Perhaps you want to backup the whole content of a
 course (which is the default configuration) so you don't have to scroll down all pages 
 and you save time. This is the case of settings, grade preferences, edit course, backup and 
 override permissions in course.
 C) Administration of a course with short pages: there are some pages which are short and
 does not have sense to have all buttons duplicated. This is for example the case of the
 Groups. Having buttons at both sides, can make the page more confusing and less usable.
 Questionaire: Doodle page
 How the problem has been solved (code):
 A) In the backup and settings roles forms, some html lines have been added (there are two
 forms in the backup pages). It must be considered that it has not been added a button at top 
 of the 3rd backup page because you should see if the backup has been done without errors.
 B) In the Grade preferences and course settings php pages, it has been added 
 $this->add_action_buttons()
 The pages that have been modified are: 
 backup/backup_form.html
 backup/backup_check.html
 course/edit_form.php
 admin/roles/override.html
 grade/report/grader/preferences_form.php
