Key functions in Moodle: looking ahead
Someone suggested last year there could be value in a curated list of enhancements for Moodle
This is the start.
This is purely speculative. One of the main reasons we need a list like this is to direct people to when they say "What can I do for Moodle?" I still differ with the official view that "This is a job for the tracker" Of course it is, but that is a bit like giving a newcomer a list of over 43,000 items and sayimg "Go for it"

- I may make a menu template or just a few linked pages. We shall see.

Quizzes
Quiz marking
Case 1
case 2
case 3: One student sits a quiz late. There is not way to view all this student's manually gradable questions on one page. They must be done one at a time.

Quiz printing
There is debate about this. (Save trees etc) but the fact remains: sometimes it is a lot easier to have a quality print view, for instance for moderation of questions, proofing, reviews and to print a copy of a quiz when the regular technology lets us down.

This is really part of a wider question: communicate one on one with your students.
Threads: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=173381
Tracker
- Autocreate a group for each student in the course and the group name set to the first and last name

Comments
- Plugin: Dialogue module The downside of this is that it is a new tool for people to get their head around. The upside is it is very powerful.
- Work around: Use a database
- Use groups of one. Huge maintenance issue here, and can you imagine renaming 20 groups for each person in your class? And what happens if a person comes late?
