Perth Hackfest October 2012/Navigation and UI
From MoodleDocs
- Navigation breaks down when you have lots of courses
- Users have asked for navigation to be customisable
- Duplication of stuff in navigation e.g. Messaging, My profile and settings blocks confusing
- Confusing that some of the breadcrumbs (items in the navigation bar) are clickable and some are not
- Confusing that some things appear twice in tree (e.g profile & participants)
- confusing that some things appear despite being no capability for user or plugin disabled
- Need to clarify what belongs in Navigation and Settings block
- Kris
- Navigation should only have course navigation
- Everything else should be in settings
- Martin
- Options to make a change should be in settings
- Kris
- Decisions/Votes
- Move “My profile” to dropdown menu next to your name/login information in top-right - Agreed
- Should “My profile” dropdown menu be a block? - Disagreement/TBD ( edit renderer ) needs to have subgroup discussion
- “My courses” separated from “Current course” - Agreed (Will be implemented by http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-33017 really soon now)
- Move reports to “Settings” - Agreed
- Rename “Settings” to Administration - Agreed
- (to note, the strings under don’t need to have ‘administration’ e.g. course administration => course, site administration => site etc)
- Where should student grades be in (for student view only)
- Administration (previously known as “Settings”)
- Course administration (where it is currently)
- Reports
- User menu
- here a grade link could show grades for all courses (uncertain whether this page exists or not yet?)
- Under “Current course” in navigation block
- Agreed
- “My profile settings” under “Administration” block moved to “User menu”? TBD
