Site Info

"Site Info" serves two purposes

  • for students it really is site information, or some of it at any rate, students can also sign up for "joinable groups" or join / leave a site
  • for staff it allows site and group management

Staff are finding it confusing

  1. Change name to (something like) "Info / Settings" or "Info & settings"
  2. Display different names to different roles
  3. split the tool into at least 2 parts, one for staff and one for students (but why would students visit "Site Information" to join or leave the site of a group?)
  4. "Site & Group Management". Instructors use it to manage their sites. Students use it to find group information and/or join groups. "Info & Settings" don¹t convey that quite as well
  5. something else!

Email ArchiveName belies the fact that the site's email address lies therein
  1. put site's email address in Site Info (along with other useful things like announcements RSS URL, public calendar URL, webDAV URL)
  2. rename the tool to be "Site Email"
  
ScheduleThis is a Calendar why not call it one! Especially since the synoptic tool is called "Calendar"
  1. Change the tool name to "Calendar" and within the tool make sure there's no occurrences of "Schedule"
  2. Change other tools, eg, Sign Up, Assignments, ?what others? to refer to Calendar not Schedule
  3. Change Site Stats aka Statistics
  4. Change Help info

Page OrderAlan Regan: "Page Order" is another name that needs to be updated.  This name feels like a holdover from a much earlier version of Sakai when "tools" were known as "pages."  The button doesn't make it obvious to instructors what it does.  At minimum, please rename to "Tool Order." However, to follow the naming pattern for all of the other tools, I recommend "Customize Tools."  The tool offers reordering, renaming, hiding, and disabling of tools (and other features, too)..

  1. "Tool Order" has been suggested
  2. "Customize Tools"
  3. Combine Edit Tools and Page Order into one new page - this would require coding.

Edit Tools

Alan Regan:  it would be nice if "Edit Tools" was changed to "Add / Remove Tools."  

Shawn Foster: How about changing the name to "Manage Tools" to match some of the other Site Info pages' terminology?

 

From Shawn's comment in SAK-29876:

How about changing the name to "Manage Tools" to match some of the other Site Info pages' terminology?

This would transition nicely into the Sakai 12 Strawperson item when I hope that the Page Order functionality can be merged into the Manage Tools page, so that tools can be managed from one spot.

Edit Class Rosters (in Roster tool) 
  1. Change to Add / Remove Rosters
  2. Manage Rosters
  
Worksite Setup (My Workspace)

"Worksite setup" is meaningless. To start with "Worksite" is a term that is rarely used, "Site" is what is used. Secondly, most of our users (ie, students) dont set up sites, they visit sites.

Staff members who are site maintainers must use "Worksite Setup" so there is a case for having facilities to support them such as the ability to edit and so on.

If you opt to edit a site via Worksite Setup, the link on the Site Info page says "Back to Sites list"

  1. "Browse Sites"
  2. "Find Sites"
  3. "Sites List"
  4. "Site Setup"
  5. "Sites" - this would require the "Sites" tool to be renamed
  6. "My Sites"

Drop BoxThe name of this tool is extremely confusing due to its similarity to the popular commercial product DropBox (https://www.dropbox.com), with which it has no interaction and little in common.
  1. "My Files"
  2. "Documents"
  3. "Instructor Share"
  4. "File/Document Exchange"
  5. "File Drop"
