OK, as I'm teaching (as an university instructor) this semester, I'm starting to experience some "pain" that our instructors were experiencing. For the course that I'm teaching (Multimedia authoring with Flash), I have a lot of resources/activities for each week/topic. This created a big problem for navigation. Each time when student click into a resource or take a quick, then come back to the course home page using the breadcrumb. The will be taken to the top of the page. This could be partially resolved by adding the "section link" block into my course (and I put it on the upper-left corner on my course), however, if they are currently on week3, and want to jump to week7 resources (and remember, I have 15 - 20 resources for each week), then they will have to do mouse scrolling a lot. Currently there is no way for them to quickly jump from week3 to week7. They can't jump from week7 to week 0 area (where usually people put the "syllabus" and other helpful resources, etc.). Just thought that it would be a good idea to implement a optional "Jump to..." pull-down menu for each section (the option can be controlled in the "course setting" area). Just my 2 cents (see screenshot for more info).
Wen, please could you clarify - are you suggesting a jump to menu in addition to the show one section / show all sections links and the jump to menu on each activity page?
