Currently, when you comment a long text the entire session time out and you get unable to upload the edited file.

If one did add a Ajax timer control, as the sample in http://ajax.net-tutorials.com/controls/timer-control/, it would make the session exist as long as the user / teacher did edit the documents.

If the Ajax timer is applied only in the DirectEdit-section, then only the editing function would be affected. When the user goes to another section of It's Learning or close the browser then the timer will not update - and you would get the normal timeout as usual.

If the teacher changes the status on a students handin to "Not accepted - hand in again", there should be a reminder/message sent to the student automatically. 

When I as a teacher is viewing the list of working portifolios, there is a field for "Last visited", showing when I as a teacher last visted the students portifolio. That is near to useless information (I usually know that myself), compared to a field for showing when the student last visited her portifolio, or even better, when she updated her portifolio, or even better, a coulum for both showing when the student last updated her portifolio and the number of new items she has uploaded under "The learners personal work".

As it is now, I have to visit each and every student's protifolio to check if there is anything new added.

I'm getting a bit tired of visiting 60 working portifolios every day, to catch the few new items my students have submitted.

As a teacher I would like to have an additional option on status Assignments. It's somesort in the middle of the Assignment en the Process Assignment I guess. But the Process Assignment is not the tool for grading and overall comment needs to be written in the text.

I would like to be able to have a status that shows to the student the teacher has given a comment or did see the result, but leaves it open for further editing by the student, now the only option is to do this is give it the status 'failed, try agian', but this is not a very nice status, because often the result is very good, but needs further work. It seems like more of the same, but the message should be more motivating

And as soon as the student has edited again, it should give him the choices to put the status in an option so the teacher knows there has been an edit (or not if the students wishes to work on it later, but does not need any comment or marking yet). It would be good if the program gives the choice to save it as a new version or not, so the progress of the actual assignment is monitored as well.

Last question - needs to be a comment at the end rather than a separate question.

For example, thank you for completing this survey. Email us on XXX for further information.

Pages are intended to develop digital learning content. However, it is not possible to add a web 2.0 application e.g. a movie. Without these possibilities the pages-editor is a leap back in time.

When creating a discussion forum, please provide the teacher with an option to use either a threaded or flat format. We currenlty only have the flat format available. This makes it very difficult to reply to others when there are many participants in the class.

I think that it would be relatively easy for you (just adding a few more functionalities) to improve your software to become a MIS more than just a VLE... maybe just adding things like an admissions module, timetable and creating a reporting system for assessment as well as adding more fields to students/staffs details would let us to get rid of our SIMS and also would remove the lynchpin step when creating users which not always works as well as it should.... With this, we would save money in licenses, and time in management as everything (MIS, VLE and Parent gateway) would be concentrated in just one umbrella...

In Test 2.0. If anything other than 'no assessment' is chosen, the students are prompted 'Grades will be given' before starting the test. This is most often wrong / misleading as we mostly use 'Accepted/Non accepted' as the preferred form of assessment. The students then wrongly expect to be graded, which every semester cause a lot of confusion / misunderstanding.

We know that the different forms of assessment are editable and thus it is difficult to design individual feedback based on the assessment chosen. However, we urge you to replace the current statement with something else. For instance: 'Assessment will be given'
