Moodle in English: Seeking Volunteers for Moodle HQ Course Administration Research Study

Usability

Seeking Volunteers for Moodle HQ Course Administration Research Study

Thanks to all Moodlers who have helped us and participated in past research studies and tests.

Now, we are again looking for more volunteers to participate in a simple research activity to gain insight on the course administration setting on your Moodle sites.

As always, your feedback will be anonymous but extremely valuable in helping us focus and deliver better user experience.

If you are an editing teacher, a trainer or someone who has course administrator editing rights on a Moodle site, we’d love to see you join our research activity!

Start the card sorting activity now!

This course administration setting research activity closes on UTC: Thursday, 13 July 2017 at 16:00:00

I got half way through, and only then noticed that at the top it said:

"This is a study preview. No data will be saved."

I hope you have not just wasted my time.

Also, I was finding, it gets you to sort some stuff, then it asks you "What to you use that was missing". However, at this point, you have not seen what will come in future sections of the survey, so you have to guess - is all this stuff missing because it will be in a future section, or is it missing because they forgot it. (E.g. Managing groups and group members)? There is no way to know. That is going to spoil the quality of your data.

I'm sorry to have wasted your time Tim. We're looking into it why you received that message.

And thanks for your suggestion. We'll take that into account next time.

We're seeing participants complete the study and responses are being collected.

Everything looks good from our end but we'll continue to monitor this space over the next 7 days.

Thanks.

Hi. Alberto:

Interesting poll. It's very important. I discovered that I do not know how to make a badge.

A suggestion. Improving the instruction to stack the answers, to drag and drop is not clear, because I took time to understand how to do it. I would like to know the results that were found.

Thank you very much.

Greetings.
José de Jesús.

Hello everyone

On behalf of Moodle HQ, I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help in completing our card sorting activity on course administration.

We had a great response, with over 300 participants in just under a week, completing the activity.

I just also wanted to provide a brief summary of some next steps with the feedback you’ve provided:

The UX team at Moodle HQ (mainly Barbara and I) have, and will continue, to go through the feedback that we received from the card sorting activity.
Part of going through the feedback will be to gain insight into usage patterns to help identify current gaps and pain points in course administration.
We will summarise the trends into a report which will then be used to inform future experience design work associated with course administration in Moodle.

Please note that this is an ongoing project and we don’t have fixed timelines for this as yet as we are still in the early research, data collection and discovery phase.

Thanks again to all Moodle community members who participated and shared the invitation to participate in the research activity. We really appreciate your continued support of our open source project.

I look forward to working with everyone again and getting your valuable input for any future research activities.
