Hedy is a gradual programming language to teach children programming. Gradual languages use different language levels, where each level adds new concepts and syntactic complexity. At the end of the Hedy level sequence, kids master a subset of syntactically valid Python.

💻 Public Adventures interface ideas #5475

Open MarleenGilsing opened 2 months ago

MarleenGilsing commented 2 months ago

I was making a public adventure on this page and I have some ideas for improvements:

'Available in' doesn't specify that the teacher is meant to choose the level. So can we change it to: 'Available in level' or just 'level' if the former is too long. This will make it clear for the teachers that we want them to choose the level.

Maybe we can make some tags, instead of letting the teachers create their own tags, because at the moment their are a lot of nonsense tags. This defeats the purpose of a tag.

In the previous verision the teacher could see how to use the ` to make the text look likeprintin the example, nowprint` already looks like that in the example, so teachers won't know how to do that.

Lastly, and to me most importantly, I'm missing a 'submit' button. When I made the adventure I clicked 'preview' at least 5 times to make sure I didn't miss a 'submit' or 'save' button. It feels very weird to just click 'go back' when you're done and just hope your work has been saved. Can we add a 'submit' or 'save adventure' button in the row with the 'remove' and 'preview' button?

So if you add the backticks, you'd make a keyword which is what to expect right? Not sure if you meant something else!

We removed that button because everything now is auto-saved. So, teachers don't need to save it manually.

I meant teachers probably won't know how to accomplish that look with the backticks. It isn't explained anywhere how to do that, you just see the correct endresult, but not how to get there, if you understand what i mean.

Yes, autosafe is great! But if the only way to 'get out' after finishing the adventure is to go back, it feels counterintuitive. So a continue button, or a submit button that takes you to the dashboard would still make sense to me.

Yes i understand. In https://github.com/hedyorg/hedy/issues/5356, the explanation box should indeed explain that if you click on the "code" icon, you'd create a keyword. And if you click on the "block code" icon, you'd create a block of 1 or more code lines.

I totally agree! Perhaps we could change the text of "go back" to something like "Teacher dashboard".

@Felienne @hasan-sh is working on the Public Adventure page at the moment so I thought it would make sense for him to include this issue.

This would mean I need to know what exactly you'd want to improve here. So, it'd be great if @Felienne could reply to the discussion above!

Also, this should be implemented after #5431, since the latter brings many changes!

Hi Hasan!

As far as I can see all Marleen's points have been answered by you, so I am not sure what input is needed? Let me know what you need and I can read along.
