[samigo-team] Samigo settings revamp

[Ward, Lynn E.]

Keli,

Thanks for taking the lead on rethinking the Settings screen.  I like a
lot of the ideas that I see on
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/SAM/Settings+rework.
Collapsing the current sections into a few larger sections makes perfect
sense and the result is much less daunting.  Let us know when you are
ready for comments. In the meantime, I wanted to get a request that we've
heard from our faculty out on the table regarding feedback.  Many of our
instructors want to limit the period of time during which students can
view feedback on their tests (particularly the detailed feedback such as
the questions, student response, correct answer).  So, in addition to
indicating when and under what circumstances feedback becomes available,
they would also like to be able to have it automatically disabled/removed
by date.  I'm hoping we'll be able to include something like this in the
Feedback and Grading screen.

Hello
I was reviewing Kristol's redesign to allow instructor to do override
settings for samigo (https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-1408). It
will do the job in that it allows groups or individual students to have
different parameters. However, there are separate overrides for dates and
for time limit. 

So I was looking back at a sketch I had done with Daphne of Berkeley where
we tried to create common settings for both Assignments and T&Q. Whereas
T&Q currently groups settings into 14 different collapsable areas, we had
one that had 3 basic clusters
(https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/UX/Activity+Details).
However, it didn't address the idea of override settings; we just had a
little link in the corner as a TBD.

So I sketched something in Balsamiq on Confluence yesterday, where you had
4 groups of settings. The main one "Availability and Submission" is open
by default. 

Take a look:

I wanted to check in to see if the direction and overall idea was right
before we went into further details. I'm proposing this as an agenda item
for next Tuesday.

Right now we are not tackling the overall structure of SAMigo, just the
settings page. If we wanted to push further, one might imagine  moving
Settings so that it appears in the margins of the question creation
screens. Even better, it would be great to separate the test content away
from it's delivery parameters and have the delivery parameters be common
between all types of assignments, including papers or discussion. I always
thought this would have to wait for the OAE, but I'm throwing it out there
to more technically minded folks.
