Revision of News Filter

1 Initial Problem

News can currently be filtered by favourites or individual courses or objects. Since with ILIAS 6 only manually added objects appear in the favourites, it is no longer possible to display all news of all objects. Especially news of all courses and groups are relevant for the teaching context, so that a user can see at a glance news of all courses and groups in which he/she is currently enrolled.

The aim of this feature is to provide the user with quick access and thus an overview of the collected news of all courses and groups.

current situation (ILIAS 7)

2 Conceptual Summary

The current filter "Context" is to be extended with a filter "My courses and groups". If this is selected, news of all courses and groups I am enrolled in (the same ones that are visible in the menu "Repository > My Courses and Groups) will be displayed.

Requirements:

• The precondition for the news to be displayed to me is, of course, that the course or group has this option activated.
• As with the other context filters, the news items displayed are listed chronologically one below the other.

To be discussed
What is the default? Favorites or News for all my courses and groups?

• As this is a collection of different news sources, the entry should be default in the dropdown (if it has no performance issues). => Was passiert mit bisherigen Einstellungen, bleibt dies gleich? Allenfalls weiterhin Favoriten als default.
