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

[Josh Baron]

Keli,

Many thanks for this posting and opportunity to provide feedback.  I'm 
going to participate in the call if at all possible but if I can't I'll 
post my feedback as you suggest below (all with the clear understanding 
that I'm not expecting any ideas to get developed per se).

I do also want to highlight this type of work, which I'm starting to see 
as a type of "design hackathon" or "design pop-up session" focused on very 
specific needs as something that T&L folks in the community could do on a 
semi-regular basis.  I could see a future where groups, such as the Samigo 
Team or TCC, post calls for input like this which the T&L group then 
respond to as means to provide timely and practical feedback.

Thanks! Josh

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
