Usability Watchlist

What is "mark for review?"

explanation text at top of assessment's first page, What's This pop-up, ability to remove this feature in Settings

Should a part with nothing in it display to student view?

"Save and Exit" during a timed assessment implies the timer stops

"Save and Exit" is too confusing to students, they end up not submitting

changing button to "Save for Later", warning message on Begin page, confirmation page upon clicking button

No timeout warning, data will be lost if no button/link clicked within 60 minutes

Audio doesn't save if recording time is too long (approx 190 seconds)

set limit to recording length in question authoring page

Audio recording applets don't load or don't work as expected when more than one per page

force "one question per page" layout when using audio recording questions

Audio processing time in recording applet is too long, students don't know to wait for it to finish

warning message under applet

Blank recording applet causes confusion when students go back to review, they don't see previous recording and think they need to record again

change layout of UI, populate applet with last recording

Audio record applet needs to be clicked once to activate, then another time to record

include javascript to put focus on first applet

Security warnings for loading applet will cause problem if students click Cancel

Alt + S keyboard shortcut used for accent mark in foreign language text entry is also accessibility shortcut causing Submit button to be activated in IE

Using browser navigation buttons (or reset button) causes data to be lost

warning message on Begin page

"What is feedback?" hints, solutions?

Why can't I changed a published assessment?

Grading, what if grader doesn't want last or highest?

All of the selections in the new Default Assessment Types need to be evaluated as to their correctness

Assessmet created with Assessmet-type doesn't show settings that instructor wants to subsequently change

unobtrusive link at bottom of Settings "Show all settings?"

In Feedback section of assessment setting, it doesn't make sense to disable "Student Response" but enable "Student's Question Scores"

Why can't I download paper submissions for particular sections only?

Why do students still see assessments that are Inactive?

"Inactive (no student access)" is a confusing label, since assessments accepting late submissions will still show in student view after the deadline. Perhaps this label could be changed or there could be an explanation in the Settings > Submission section

Settings menus collapse after clicking certain buttons, annoying to instructor
