Usability problems found in the Fluid project
At Research of Moodle usability problems mentioned in the Fluid project one can find more information about this issue.
Usability problems found in the tracker
In order to classify the importance of the different == Usability problems found in the tracker == are put in a ranking. The solution found of this issues can be found at this wiki page
Moreover, after having heard the needs of several people being with Moodle as teachers and administrators, two main issues should be improved:
Usability problems found when talking with Moodle users
Properly order of selections when using the tab key of the keyboard
This functionality would help both experience and new users. Usability problems have been found mainly in two different situations:
- When you press the tab key it goes from one item to the help button, which is not really usable because the help button is not frequently used.
- When you edit a text and you press a tab in order to go to the text field and write something, the tab goes first to all the writing options (bold, italics, etc.) making it not usable for the user that wants usually to get directly to the text field.
Gradebook
The gradebook perhaps is the biggest Moodle usability issue although students are not afected. The gradebook, with so many options, makes difficult for the teachers to find the issue.
For instance, there is a problem when choosing and action or when selectiong category items, the aggregation or editing category homework. So some usability testing should be done in the gradebook in order to improve the usability.
Some quick grading tutorials have been writen in order to help teachers and some complaints and some grading questions have been posted to the Moodle Forum. It must also be considered that Fluid project analyzes the grading of Moodle 1.8.2 and it is not the same as Moodle version 1.9, so it is necessary to do some usability tests in order to improve grading usability.
