Hi all,
We are starting to look at requirements for our next iteration of work
on eval sys. We plan to start looking at some of the authoring
interfaces. However, a potentially low hanging fruit that keeps
popping up for me is the administration page. Perhaps it is because I
am a newcomer but the content is pretty overwhelming and I believe we
could better group options by themes and perhaps do some rewording to
both make the options clearer and show relationships with other
options (if there are any). Every time I have to find a new
configuration setting someone brings to my attention it is painful.
The reason I say low hanging fruit is because it seems like a simple
technology fix. The challenge will be in creating an information
architecture that makes sense to everyone.
I think card sorting would be a productive way to create a new info.
architecture and perhaps there's a way to involve some of us from
across schools in that activity.
But since it is an interface we don't use often, first, I want to
understand where something like this fits on the communities wish
list. The work would benefit us some but would really be more about
making things easier for future users.
