      During the usability study users were asked to add a video to the course using a given URL. There are a number of ways of doing this, but all participants (after looking for a video resource module) eventually used the URL resource. Some had trouble with this, however, adding the URL to the description instead of the External URL field.

      The same issue applies to the File resource, with the file manager potentially off the page.

      When adding a URL/File resource, the control used to add the actual URL is below other controls and can appear off the screen at first. Being an important field, this control should appear higher by:

      • placing the External URL field above the description (preferable) or
      • reducing the size of the description field

      This was a significant issue for 1/6 participants and a lesser issue for one more.
