Affects Version/s:

1.9

Fix Version/s:

2.0

Issue Links:

Dependency

This issue will help resolve:

MDL-15797 Required fields explanation should move to top of form

This issue will be resolved by:

MDL-9513 Usability Problem with Moodle File Management System

MDL-12753 Localized strings get too long in the Moodle menu

MDL-4151 Submit Button at top

~~MDL-2572~~ Usability issue: send in ratings

MDL-10120 Multiple page view within discussion topics with ability to set max number of posts per page.

MDL-7675 It seems that group mode is not yet (fully?) implemented in Metacourses. I would appreciate very much this feature. An extension of "separate group mode" on all ressources and activities would add even more usability for moodle use in multiclass-multiteac

MDL-14444 ability to hide and activity or resource but still make it usable if i link to it

MDL-14632 Consistent Navigation for Moodle 2.0

MDL-10182 If the "Turn editing on" was of a different color or shape the usability would be better

MDL-14294 wiki: error message too small (not noticeable) when upload file exceed file size limit (usability)

MDL-15463 Language: Scalestip needs to be updated

MDL-13969 Add a "add to contact list" button in the profile viewing page

MDL-13359 Help popups should display a navigation toolbar

MDL-2598 Category Titles in Courses Block

~~MDL-13557~~ Create a Bulk User Action to Force Password Change

David - I just added MDL-15463 which is really a somewhat trivial issue but I think it highlights the importance of being consistent and accurate in language. Let me know if you have any questions. Peace - Anthony

Thanks Anthony. I will add it to this META BUG to solve it. It is sometimes difficult to keep track of all the messages in the application, but a good Q&A process just for the application messages (at least in English) can be a good idea.

Hi! Can we see some documentation/links about how each these issues have been identified as being top usability issues?

None of the ones here so far seem to have votes on them, for example.

They haven´t been identified as being top usability issues. Laia made a list at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Usability_issues/T1 with the usability issues she found and I let her begin with the ones she wanted so she can start to get familiar with the code.

How can we make a poll to choose the most important ones from the above link? Could we make a poll into the "Using Moodle" course? Or just using the wiki to make the votes?

We will check the most popular issues of the component usability: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL/component/10309?selected=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:component-openissues-panel

And we call for votes on those issues: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=100347

I've recently had some usability testing done on OpenLearn (http://openlearn.open.ac.uk) by some expert academics here at the Open University. They raised a few issues which have a wider impact in Moodle. I've added them in tracker (where they weren't there already), and wondered if you'd like to include them in your list for this project?

Thanks Jenny. I have just added those bugs to the new "usability" component in the tracker. We will solve some of the top usability issues so yours may be in the list too. Don´t forget to vote! hehe
