Usability Improvements Exercise

1 Initial Problem

This article deals with small improvements that could make the Exercise more user-friendly. 

2 Conceptual Summary

  • We want to refurbish the Edit-From / Settings-tab of the Assignment.
  • We want to hone labels.
  • We want to better sort the order of sections in the View-tab of Assignments.

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

  • Settings-Tab of an individual Assignment 

3.2 User Interface Details

3.2.1 Refurbishing of the Settings-Tab of an individual Assignment 

In the Edit-Screen of the Assignment the Form should be re-arranged,

  • H: Edit Assignment
    • Title
    • Type of Submission: read-only text field
    • Mandatory
  • H: Work Instructions
    • Work Instructions text input field
    • ...
  • H: Schedule
    • Start Time
    • Deadline
    • Grace Period
  • H: Assignment specific 
    • depends on Type of Submission
  • H: After Submission
    • Peer-Feedback
    • Sample Solution

Portfolio and Blog, Text

Team Upload

3.2.2 View-tab of Assignments

General Issues

  • The order of sections should be improved: 
    1. Work Instructions
    2. Files (if any)
    3. Schedule
    4. Submission
  • If the Assignment has no "Deadline" specified, the "Schedule"-section of the individual Assignment shows a bold Infotext "No deadline specified."
    • This text should be changed to "Submit your at your convenience. There is no  specific  deadline."
  • The part "Public Submission" of this "Schedule"- section, which is odd.
    • The part "Public Submission" should be moved to the "Submission"-section, since this is it's apt place. 
  • The section'  headline "Your Submission" is irritating, since it is shown even when no submission has been handed in or the submission is done by a team.
    • The headline should be re-labled to "Submission". 

Fully remove a Portfolio

  • Add a button that allows to de-assign a portfolio and not just swap it for another one.
  • After clicking "Remove Portfolio" ILIAS poses a question "Are you sure to remove the this portfolio form this assignment?"

German Language Issue

  • In der Portfolio Übungseinheit ist der Identifier „Zugeordnetes Portfolio“. Der Bezeichner ist ungeeignet, denn trifft erst nach einer Zuordnung zu. Es sollte näher an dem englischen Bezeichner "Assigment Portfolio" sein. 
    • Vorschlag: "Portfolio zur Übungseinheit"
  • Wählt man ein vorhandenes Portfolio aus, statt eines neu anzulegen, so lautet die Bestätigungsmeldung „Das Portfolio wurde verknüpft.“ 
    • Vorschlag:  „Das Portfolio wurde zugeordnet.“ 

3.3 New User Interface Concepts

7 Discussion

Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], NOV 01, 2016: I have devided this feature wiki request into three pages: Usability Improvements Exercise | Usability Improvements Blog | Usability Improvements Portfolio. The mentioned usability improvements have no common ground and should be treated as three separate requests.

Killing, Alexander [alex], 15.11.2016: I support this request.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], Nov 21, 2016: We appreciate this feature request and schedule it for 5.3.
