I have just started a wish list thread on the BUG site - under
administration (as I didn't know where to put it).
Thought I'd copy it here - for those non-members on the list etc...
I am sure I have mentioned most of these previously - so sorry - but I
guess this is the nature of the beast.
--
student homepages:
-- smart text and pain text option for student homepages
-- flag which shows which homepages have been completed
-- flag which shows if homepages have been updated - since your last
visit
-- homepages should be linked across course sites (so the student has
one homepage that is visible for every site they are enrolled on)
staff details:
-- single entry of staff details - repeated across all courses they are
teaching - at present has to be retyped - updated for every course
(similar to previous point about students homepages)
email function:
-- provide some simple text formatting,
-- spell check,
-- wrap long lines
-- cannot see address of sendee (e.g. to check if valid),
-- html in email
discussion board:
-- sorting is fairly crude
-- shows own messages as new
-- tools function - select all unread
search/stats:
-- no search within course(s) content - so what is the purpose of the
metadata entry?
-- no stats on overall course usage - it would be good to be able to
get this info which is shown on the course properties page and should
therefore by straightforward to collect this and present it in one long
report page. sorted by size, activity, or number of students etc...
-- poor statistics and reporting on users - e.g. no reporting of
inactive users - cannot just list instructors - cannot retrieve user
details from a
course(s) as a csv file with personal information etc. to be used to
inform registry of changes in circumstances - some way to link student
information system with Bb would be good and needs examining
-- no refreshing of statistics selection - when you check a particular
user and then change to check a different user it keep showing the
original users statistics - there doesn't seem to be a way to get it to
recognise the filter change
errors:
-- images becoming corrupt or deleted - images often seem to get
removed erroneously
--
now back to my entry to correct all the spelling mistakes - which came
to light as I pasted the text into this mail ;-)
Looking forward to seeing this develop
:)
