Problem

In order to make it possible for the user to use an application meaningfully, the application must respond meaningfully to each user action.

Solution

• GNOME: Feedback
  • (for Desktop but still a great guide and mostly applicable to Moodle)

Examples and implementation

Feedback pages

Feedback pages are often used in Moodle to provide feedback to the user about successful filling of a form, such as a submission of configuration page or posting to a forum thread.

Wizards

TODO: Wizards should use the status display that tells the user about the steps available and the active step, as feedback to the user about their actions.
