Description
Previously on the course management page there were two buttons: one to add a new category and another to add a new course.
When adding a new course, the default category was implied and users could select another category if one existed.
The new interface requires users to first select a category, then to add a course within the category. This is an extra step, but perhaps more than that, it is a conceptual leap for users who are not using Moodle with categories (and I suspect there are lots of those).
As well as that, there is a link to "Create new" under course categories and I suspect user of the old interface, where they had been able to add a new course, might find this confusing.
- I propose that the "Create new" link under categories be labelled more specifically as "Create new category" to avoid confusion.
- I also recommend one of the following two options.
- Showing the default category initially when a user first arrives at the management page, or
- Adding a "Create new course" link/button somewhere on the initial screen.
