Talk:Moodle User Interface Guidelines

Missing guidelines

Unwritten guidelines

• Building blocks
  • Course Format
  • Block (not a technical guide but a guideline how what to take into account when using a block as a part of a design)
  • Filter
  • Module (not a technical guide but a guideline how what to take into account when using a module as a part of a design)
• Dialog
• Popup Window
• Link lists (menus)
• Page Heading

Proposed elements

We will probably need a process to get these accepted across the community

• Edit-in-place (more patterns)

Guidelines that require further research/discussion

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
• Further research required: Editing modes
• Further research required: Data Listing
• Waiting for developments of Navigation 2.0: Tabs
• Command Popup Menu
