Guidelines that require further research/discussion

Development:Major usability issues in Moodle (separate design projects)

These are plans to create new interaction styles, switch existing conventions for more usable ones, or issues that are still unclear and need to be further discussed to become actual guidelines.

  • Switch Button
  • Add element
  • Jump Navigation
  • Move Element (Course front page model vs. quiz)
  • Quick Inline Help ([1] for now)
  • Further research required: Search
