LMS link creation improvements
in development
A
Andrew Gates
It would be useful if the following changes could be considered for the screen displayed when adding a link to a capture (from within Moodle).
Under Step 1...
- Add an option to pick the Course from which the Section will be selected
- Maybe change text 'Link a different section' to 'Link to a different Section or create a new one'
Under Step 2...
- Change text 'Link to classroom' to 'Link to file' or 'Link to a capture'
- Either fix the top part of the screen so that the link buttons and Link Content button remain fixed while browsing the content list below OR add a Link Content button to the right of each entry in the content list
- Add an alphabetical sort option to the Sort by list.
(What does the Custom sort actually do?)
- Ensure the Link Content button is deactivated if a new Section is chosen after a selection has been made from an initial Section. Linking no longer works when the Section is changed
- Revise the text 'Select where you want students to be redirected: Class List page or a specific Classroom' to e.g. 'Select what you want to link to - to the Section Home page (holding a list of all Section captures) or to a specific capture - then click Link Content'

LTI course link behaviour in Blackboard
N
Naveed Shah
Consider Changing the echo course link LTI in Blackboard so that either the second choice (Link to existing section home page) is expanded by default or that the 3 choices are not expanded at all.
Admins are aiding instructors by creating course links for them, but often come across broken echo course links that lead to individual recordings or are not completed. Academics often report this element of echo360 is confusing and difficult to correct if done wrong.

Hi Andrew, thanks so much for the feedback! We plan to move towards a more traditional Folder structure for content as well as LTI 1.3 support over the course of this year (currently slotted in Q2). As we make these improvements, we will certainly keep your feedback in mind. Also, the custom sort option allows Instructors to manually put the Class List into any order they choose, and then save that ordering to be displayed to students.

The 'LINK CONTENT' button should be rename to 'SAVE and VIEW' or 'SUBMIT and VIEW'. It should moved to the bottom right of the form where everyone expects it to be.
