Learning vs. Learned

[mircealungu]

If you look at these tabs, you'll realize that they're not the same kind of thing.

The first two are Learning, the last one is Learned.

I am not sure I understood the point of this issue. Indeed the two first tabs are "In Learning", while the other is sorta a what you have done so far - but if we read -> Learned (Words), Receptive (Words) ... it does make sense.

Would you suggest moving it to History?

[mircealungu]

I think the ontologically correct classification, while using your "In Learning" term, would be:

• Words
  • In Learning
    • Receptive
    • Productive
  • Learned

If you look at it, you'll see that Receptive, Productive, and Learned are not on the same level in the hierarchy.

One possible solution would be to have "In Learning" and "Learned" as separate tabs on the sidebar.

Another would be to have only "In Learning" and "Learned" as top tabs under Words, and the Receptive & Productive to be just two different sections on that page.

There might be others too...

But do you see what I mean? Do you see why it philosophically bugs me? :)))

I don't think I would add extra tabs on the sidebar, because "In Learning" and "Learned" do not make sense in isolation - they need the 'Word' concept.

Maybe we could consider it after Iga implements the sub-menus in the Settings and then a User could go to either "Learned" menu or "Learning" menu - though to me it just seems to add more clicks, while the hierarchy to me doesn't make much of a difference.

I will tag Merle and Iga - I think it's good to have a feel check on this @merleschoen @igawaclawska .

I think implementing this extra classification may add unnecessary complexity. We also need to determine during usability tests how most people interpret the current tabs and whether they require adjustments.

I'll second that. The feedback about the word overview was overall positive in my study. It might not be representative, but we could use it as an indicator that the overview works as it is now.
