Usability issues - Upload
From MoodleDocs
First some screenshots of the pages with an upload file option have been researched through Moodle:
Screenshots
Upload Wiki
Upload Files
Upload Import
Upload Users
Upload User pictures
Upload Frontpage Sitefiles
Upload Frontpage Questions
File database
File exercise
Clasification
The pevious screenshots can be clasified in a table:
| ID | Screenshots | Variables | Buttons |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wiki and other activities and resources | Image, layout, spacing, size, etc. | Create folder, zip, unzip, rename,etc. |
| 2 | Files, Frontpage Site Files | Browse, upload and cancel. | |
| 3 | Import, Frontpage Questions | Browse and import groups / Choose or upload a file and import this file. | |
| 4 | Upload users / upload user pictures | CVS, enconding, overwrite, etc. | Browse and upload user (pictures) |
| 5 | Upload a file / picture in database and exercise activity module | Title | Browse and upload |
Conclusion
Ideally it should be only two types of uploading files:
- The simple one: that would be applicable to Files, Frontpage Site Files, Import, Frontpage Questions and Upload users / upload user pictures. This interface would contain:
- An indication of the max size with a help question
- Browse
- Upload
- Cancel
- [Other information depending on the type of upload file]
- The detailed one: that would be applicable to wiki pages and other activities and resources (should not be changed)
