[DG: Teaching & Learning] Chance for sakai-user and pedagogy members to give feedback on Tests & Quizzes setting redesign

[Keli Sato Amann]

Hello,
On July 2, we will do a developer review of the settings redesign for Tests & Quizzes, in the hopes that people will collectively contribute developer time to getting this done. However, while the Samigo BOF has been meeting for almost a full year on redesigning setting, I realized at the conference that there are many who were not on the samigo-team emails and haven't had a chance to give input. 

So I'd like to set up a day to gather feedback on the design, at least a week before July 2. If you are interested, here is a Doodle poll and I'll try to set up a conference at the best time for the majority. Please answer within one week.

Reviewing Samigo (Tests & Quizzes) Settings Redesign (June 24, 25, 26, or 27)

If you can't make it, you can still give feedback on the subtasks of SAM-2070 (Consolidate SAMigo settings from 14 categories into four major categories)
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-2070

Whether or not you plan to attend, it's probably a good idea to look at the design online and give comments on the subtask JIRA--the latest day for feedback will be June 27. (If you don't have a JIRA account, I guess you could send me an email privately or onlist.)

I will say this-- the scope of SAM-2070 is limited to reorganizing existing settings into 4 categories so that users only have to look at 1-2 categories. This will form the base for future improvement, but is not the last word in all the improvements that might be made to settings. Believe me, there is a lot more we could do.* The only question is, is SAM-2070 taking us in the right direction? You can leave comments about how we might go beyond this design, but the type of feedback we are looking for are:
1) quick changes, like better labels, order of presentation within each of the 4 categories or 
2) feedback that would question whether SAM-2070 is taking us in a useful direction.

*SAM-2100 and SAM-2141 both allude to things that are out of scope for now, but are in these mockups to show that we are aware that there further improvements that could be made. I think these pages, which are toward the end, are clearly marked
