Challenges (from U-Camp Discussion)

  • Trasparency of process
  • Complexity
  • Workflow across tools
    • Need to design for the entire workflow
    • Users don't use tools in silos
    • Documentation silo
    • Tools work in isolation
    • Flow through tools limited
    • Community mirrors this isolated approach
    • Interaction idioms not consistent
  • Not enough consistency between tools
    • Balance between consistency & doing what's right to improve and/or a particular context
  • Customization & standardization (individual & institution)
  • Tension between design & development
  • Cost of localization
  • Little user research in general & lack of sharing knowledge
    • Lack of understanding user
  • Sakai technology complex
    • small changes take forever
    • Each tool has different technology
  • Too abstract - what does it mean to be a CLE?
  • Pain points are cross cutting (ex. back button, iframes, navigation, state, etc.)
  • Feels like a "they" waiting on
  • Local vs. community fix - how to inform, ownership
  • Lack of acknowledgement for problem
  • Requirements process to granular (rile in pile)
    • Transparency regarding process for feature integration
    • No map of landscape
    • Who are the stakeholders?
  • UI not early enough in the process
  • Structure of development process lends to vacuum
  • What constitutes a legacy tool?
  • What are people working on?
  • Backwards compatibility
  • Localization
  • Novice to expert
  • Not enough design resources
  • Proliferation of functionality (chaos, MS syndrome)
  • No device independence
  • Ability to find UI documentation (CSS...)
  • Configuration options - what can we do without dev
  • Difficulty installing some tools; barrier to bringing in new functions
  • Lack of migration tools
  • End user documentation
  • Specific design issues
    • Too many clicks (assessment/Samigo)
    • Design not oriented toward courses (compared to Moodle)
    • Users say design not intuitive
    • Tabs lacking flexibility
    • Not transformable to user needs
  • Lack of compliancy (FERPA)
