Setting internal Redirect-Links in Test

1 Initial Problem

When exporting a course with a test set to Re-Direct the original input is taken along. For adaptive courses it is not helpful. 

There are two cases:

  1. Redirect to external links there is no need for change.
  2. Redirect to an object in ILIAS should be a proper internal link. 

The more common use case in contrast might be the need for setting internal links in test. this is mandatory for setting up an adaptive course.    

The problem:

The momentary workflow of "setting internal redirect-links" (Test) is to  copy&paste EVERY destination link Test-Redirect.  As it is one manual input field / input method for internal and external links it is not featured to update redirect-links while Export.

For complex and  basic  scenarios as well, this is a major problem as this results in a huge workload for resetting or delivering a new course. 

Aim: Better input method for internal "URLs" (objectIDs) of destination page (internal redirect after finishing Test)

The setting of "External links" remains as it is now  (manual input field).

No more manual input for "Internal Links".

This would offer the ability of automatically updating Test configuraiotn (Redirect-Links)  when a Test is exported. 

The actual workflow for Setting internal Links (in Test) resulting in:

  1. better input workflow and system usability
  2. feature: referencing method for Redirect-Link (in Test) and thereby the ability to automatically update didactic dependencies e.g. redirect-link to another object (reference by ObjectID)
  3. enabling educators to offer (adaptive) templates

2 Conceptual Summary

The redirect Link input should have two parts ( 3 options):

  1. No Redirect
  2. "External Link": Input for external Link
  3. "Object in ILIAS": Repository Picker to select the object the internal link points to. 

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

  • changed input method for Re-Direct setting in the object Test 
    • settings of object Test: horizontal settings menu ("Reiter Einstellungen"), unten: "Weiterleitung"
  • add new option "select target object" (Rep. Picker) for internal links
  • the option for manual input "external links"  remains

3.2 User Interface Details

3.3 New User Interface Concepts
