Tabs

resorted and shortened menu of Personal Desktop

1 Initial Problem

The personal desktop drop-down is overcrowded. The menu contains sections which can be reached in other ways.


Current implementation: 

PERSONAL DESKTOP 

Overview
My Courses and Groups
Bookmarks
Notes and Comments
News
————————————
My Workspace
Portfolio
My Competences
Learning Progress
————————————
Calendar
Mail
Contacts
————————————
Badges
————————————
Personal Profile
Settings

2 Conceptual Summary

The navigation of the personal desktop should be resorted and shortened.

  • "Badges" should be included in group of „My Workspace" and "Portfolio" as a fourth point. (Between „My Competences“ and „Learning Progress“.)
  • "Personal Profile" and "Settings" should be removed from the menu. Both sections are available on the profile image / avatar.
Desired implementation:

PERSONAL DESKTOP 

Overview
My Courses and Groups
Bookmarks
Notes and Comments
News
————————————
My Workspace
Portfolio
My Competences
Badges
Learning Progress
————————————
Calendar
Mail
Contacts

7 Discussion

Killing, Alexander [alex], 20 Mar 2017: Would be ok for me.

Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], April 04, 2017: I support this request. But we should think about the labeling of those entries. Sometimes they are called "My ...", sometimes not.

Samoila, Oliver [oliver.samoila], April 05, 2017: Basically, all elements are personal elements, so they can be labeled with "My". 
This damages the readability clearly.
If something is to be changed on the labels, I would remove the existing "My".

Samoila, Oliver [oliver.samoila], April 10, 2017: Dear JourFixe, please consider whether the arrangement of the element badges could become a usability fix for 5.2.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], April 10, 2017: We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule it for 5.3. We would like to get rid of the "My" prefix in all entries.
