Teachers should be able to access task regardless of status and time #14

Open nmalzahn opened 10 years ago

nmalzahn commented 10 years ago

Teachers cannot do anything with tasks that are not "active". This makes preparation (and therefore validating if everything works) a real burde.

When Activities are not "active", teachers can either enter the Activity Admin pages, or view the Activity Sections (Groups, Tasks, STAs, Publications...). These sections will be empty, as the activity has not started yet, so when viewing them we will add a banner which states that 1- the activity has not started yet, so there is no visible material, and 2- if you desire to edit the activity, go to "Activity Admin" (link).

Also, in the Activity Sections, we will allow teachers to navigate through all pages as much as possible, even if most will still be empty, so they can look at the state of the activity beforehand.

This issue is about tasks not activities. I think one major drawback is that tasks aren't containers where the teacher can provide instructions and material that is relevant to his task (only). In a way this is also (pedagogically) related to #16.

Coming back to the current implementation - tasks cannot be accessed while they are not active. Thus, the teacher cannot not test if it will be possible to upload a video or just get an idea on how the students will have to upload a storyboard/video. My current experience shows that teachers are quite unhappy with that situation.

Ok, sorry about the confusion. So you suggest that teachers can access tasks while they've not started yet. Though enabling them to access the task page is simple, actually trying out tasks might be an issue, as for example the "upload video" task requires for videos to exist in the student's group so that he/she can select one of them and publish it to the task. When a teacher wants to try out this functionality, he won't have a group or videos to select from. I don't know right now what type of simulation we can offer teachers to get an idea of how it would work, apart from the user manual, of course.
