Hi Mark,
Just a few things that spring to mind -
In a Group, the members of the group should have the option of starting
their own Discussion Board forums
From the Sys Admin end I would like to be able to change the default values
of the Letter grade boundaries in the gradebook. The ones used for every new
course bear no resemblance to any grading system we would use
A category in the gradebook that would allow large courses to be subdivided
into teaching classes
I second your suggestion of the need to specify the role when adding a user
to a course
In the Batch Create Course, there is no option to include who the Instructor
is going to be - that has to be done separately in a Batch Enrol. There is
also no option for batch entering the catalogue category
And while I'm on it, I wish the Batch Create Users had the Portal Role
nearer the beginning - I have to put in something like 16 commas, then the
role.
Sorry, seems like once I get started it's hard to stop. Hope you can collate
a list that manages to achieve something.
