Rachel Hawkins - MyStuff: MyStuff usability improvements

Keren's picture

As an indication of upcoming MyStuff developement, the version of MyStuff that is currently in development incorporates many visual user interface changes and simplification of core MyStuff functionality as seen by the user.

The user interface and feature changes have been done based on internal usage and user/user group feedback.  The expressed aim of the interface changes can be summarised as:

  • Make MyStuff sit more comfortably (visually) with Moodle out-of-the-box theme;
  • Reduce the learning curve for MyStuff by making less used features less prominent and shown only when required;
  • Reduce the number of mouse clicks and steps to trigger MyStuff functions by simplifying various process flows and merging features;
  • Redesign of the overview page to make it more functionally useful and as the key starting point for MyStuff;
  • Make a clearer distinction between generic MyStuff features from bespoke features offered by general  and study spaces within MyStuff;

This development version will be frozen for testing in August 2008 for 4-week testing and the release version will be made available in mid-September 2008.
