We’re in the process of gathering and reviewing the usability tests that a number of schools conducted in the spring, and we expect a good chunk of our work to be guided by those results.

As always though, we’re looking for suggestions from the community about things *you* want us to look at and work on. These can be bug fixes, hacks, functionality improvements, documentation, road testing, etc. 

Note: You don’t have to be attending Hack/Doc Fest to make suggestions — we’d like suggestions from the entire community. 

Here’s a rough list based on brainstorming by the steering committee. None of this is set in stone (save for updating the Moodle: Liberal Arts Edition package to Moodle 1.9.5 and rolling in all of our fixes/patches/commonly used modules, etc.)

Instructional Technologists
  • Move existing documentation to CLAMP-IT.org
  • documentation for 1.9.5 Gradebook, Groups, Roles, …
  • QuickStart Guide for novices
  • Usability testing
    • 2nd round
    • Verify bugs
    • Index videos
    • Generate list of User Interface Design issues
  • Review CLAMP-IT.org
  • Instructions for how to customize Moodle
  • Build CLAMP illustrated bibliography of presentations, etc.
  • Implement Documentation Workflow:
    • Wiki: first page menu to sections, page for each section, page for each piece of documentation  
    • Tracker issue for each post to assign workflow elements
    • Post to Redmine (any pasted data should be text only; all formatting in Wiki)
    • Post draft, assign to reviewer
    • Review, assign back to poster
    • Revise, elicit feedback
    • Finalize
    • Post to CLAMP-IT, etc.
  • Create Audio-visual documentation on vanilla LA version, create scripts that can be made specific to institution
  • Create series of “Moodle Minute” entries — short tidbits or “Did you knows?”
Coders

  • Create LA version for 1.9.5
  • Debug Roles and security reports for roles
  • Create Autorun process for testing script
  • Formalize Census module
  • Evaluate NanoGong for inclusion in LA version or create separate package for it (use CK editor and Tiny MCE)
  • Develop patch for integrating CKEditor and TinyMCE into Moodle 1.9.5.
  • Repair Assignment Zip
  • Polish and possibly broaden Course Block
  • Fix major bug in Scheduler
  • Tweak Single File Upload – correct display of icons
  • iTunes Block
  • Bug List
  • List of regular Hacks to potentially include in LA version

Graphic Designer (from Smith) in conjunction with instructional Technologists

  • Create a CLAMP Theme
  • Screen mock-ups as result of usability testing
  • Potentially brainstorm My-Moodle design
