[Contrib: Evaluation System] Proposed change to configuration page

[Adam Marshall]

By "adding text" I assume you're referring to my comment "We have something at the top of the survey which says whether the student can return later and modify their results. This is a local improvement that we haven't committed back. I think it may be useful to have similar text near the submit buttons. "
We deemed this necessary because people were complaining that they never knew whether they were going to be able to edit their responses or not. Since we added it we've received no more complaints, ergo, yes people read the message (maybe!)

Adam,

            Here you go...

            Adding text might be nice, but do you really think it's going to be read?

Just a comment on the settings. If all the choices a yes/no - would it make more sense to use checkboxes?

Revisit survey
-----------------

Am I correct in summarising that difference between

Edit responses up to due date [Yes/No]

And

                Save and complete later (adds button in addition to submitting)

is that the second option adds a [SAVE] button which does not submit the responses and allows the students to return & continue even if "Edit responses up to due date" is set to No. So the student sees [SAVE] and [SUBMIT] - will they know the difference between them?

We have something at the top of the survey which says whether the student can return later and modify their results. This is a local improvement that we haven't committed back. I think it may be useful to have similar text near the submit buttons.

If "Edit responses up to due date" is set to NO but "Save and complete later" is ticked then people may be surprised that they cannot return and edit after they've clicked 'Submit' (but that they can if they'd clicked 'Save')

Also I would say that these 2 options are so close that there should not be a "View results" in between, ie, put the "Save ..." option above "View results".

Cancel
--------

Why is there a need for a [Cancel] button? Sure people can just not submit / close the window? If we do present a Cancel button then does it really need to be configurable? Could we just always have one as we do with most Sakai tools?

Hi all,

In our work at Berkeley, we are adding a couple configuration options to the Student settings -- a "save & complete later" and a "cancel" button.  I'm proposing an information design change to that section while we are adding the functionality.  I realize it is a departure from the way the rest of the page is structured but believe it is an improvement to understanding and parsing the options.  Perhaps the rest of the config page could move toward this kind of structure over time?  In the interim, since only admin users see this page, I'm proposing we allow the page to change incrementally.

Wireframe here:  https://confluence.media.berkeley.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=28574849

I'd love to hear any and all feedback.  Please let us know by the end of next week, March 30th,  if you do not want this change.

Thanks,

Daphne
