Revision of Info Page

1 Description

This page reflects the current state of the Info Page in 10. 

1.1 Content and Features of the Info Page

Content / Feature

Type

Comment / Suggestion

Metadata

text only

Could stay. This is an info in the real sense of the word. It offers me additional information about this object that one cannot get from the content page itself.

Availability Information

text only

Could stay. Important as it gives additional information how to access this object.

Creation Date

text only

Could be removed. This is poor information. More interesting would be a "last edited" info (which we do not have).

Owner

text + link

Could be removed. 

Number of Read Events

text only

This is statistic data and only accessible and interesting for users with WRITE permission. Should be moved to a better place.

Number of Users

text only

Same as "Number of Read Events"

Download / Start Button

feature

Should be placed on a dedicated tab. 
SCORM-, HTML-, ILIAS Learning module and File still have it

News block

text + link

Difficult to decide. Some objects show the news on the content page (courses, categories, ...), for other objects this does not work (learning modules)

Notes and Comments

feature

Should be removed. Notes and comments should always be accessible through the top action menu (top right).

1.2 Object Types And Info Page

Some object types need / use the Info page to display information about themselves that cannot be placed on the content page or on another tab, e.g. all objects that need to display information to users that have only VISIBLE permission for this object and should know how to join / subscribe / start this object. The Info page of other object types has no important information that is not displayed somewhere else in the object - or might be easily moved to another tab.
