Does this statement used as a title of a [New York Times article] fit to Moodle? What do you think?
Luke Wroblewski has written the article On Data and Design referring to the discussion.
Hi Urs,
The New York Times article really is unfortunately named (as stated in the other article cited by you).
IMO design always has to serve a purpose and the best of data isn't of any use if it's not manageable. Otherwise a MySQL dump of the Moodle database would be as useful as Moodle as an application because the "data" would be the same.
Data is only useful in the right context which is a matter of accessibility, usability, presentation, theming, information and interface design.
I'd suggest you try to get some input from the usability people regarding that statement
Cheers,
Frank
