I think there needs to be a slicker system of user migration from year group to year group than the current heirarchy system.

It's not the friendliest and I'm convinced it's one reason why in my LA, most pupils are not in the right year group.... which means teachers find it a pain to find them to add to courses... which means they give up and don't use its.

In the old My Desktop, there was a simple option to move Y6 to 7, 5 to 6 en bloc. this movement has become harder in its. I know there is Lynchpin, but that's an extra £x per head and in these stringent financial times, one of the 1st things to not take up.

So, my plea is for a simpler way of shifting pupils from year group to year group without the expense of Lynchpin.

Other companies off a free service whereby the school sends a csv to the firm and they create the users and they're parked in the right year group. Maybe this can be done in its, but it isn't pretty. Or maybe its could email out example spreadsheets?

I can see why, in a secondary school, the flexibility/complexity is needed for their different groups/sets, but a primary generally would only want Forename, Surname, Password, Year Group, email Address...

So, my plea is for easier user management.

Thanks for reading this marathon!

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.

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 I was recommended by It's Learnings Key Account Manager to post this idea again, although it is already on the top ideas list, I do so:

Students do not have the ability to download more than one file at the time in Courses. There is no Export (IMS)-feature available for students in courses, as it is in Projects and probably also in courses for teachers.

If you would please consider giving students the ability to download all files in a folder in courses, or the whole course-folder, possibly by giving students the Export (IMS)-feature in courses as well as in projects, I would be very thankful!

A student would like to choose to have e-mail alerts, not only for new assignments and news on bulletin boards, but also for new articles, files etc. uploades in his courses.

In the test section it would be very welcome to have questions where it is possible to drag and drop items on to a specific section of a picture. For example: I teach music and it would be very helpfull if students could put given note values on a staff where they have to ad the notes to a certain pitch. Or put ties between notes. It should be possible. At least it is a form that was used this years exam on music in The Netherlands, made by www.Cito.nl.

In the plagiarism report the submitter of the one who delivered the work earlier is specified. I would like to see a link to the earlier submitted assignment here too.

Add projects in the mobile version of itslearning. Courses, Messages, Calendar and Blog is there, but not projects. 

Often teachers deactivate assignments and tests after they have been answered, in order to have the students focus on present work. If deactivated, they do not show in the personal report under ‘Status and follow-up’. A customer would like a switch to choose to display earlier submitted inactive tasks.
