Exactly what problem will this solve?: Not possible to make questions in the test tool, that involve numeric answers and calculations and allow correct answers within a certain range.
For whom do we solve that problem?: Teachers
How will we measure success?: Easier for especially math teachers and teachers in technical subjects to create test questions that require numeric answers and automatically calculates the correctness of the answer (range defined by the teacher himself).
What alternatives are out there?: NR
Why we are best suited to pursue this?: NR
Why now?: Long standing customer wish. Especially from technical schools.

User story:
As a: Teacher
I want to: be  able to easyily create test questions, that requires numeric answers and to define a range within which I accept answers.
so that: I can easily create such a question without myself having to write every accepted alternative to the 100 % correct answer (which is possible in it's learnings 'open' and 'short answer' questions).

This is very much asked for by teachers at technical schools. They often argue that they know it is possible in Blackboard (question types Calculated Formula Question, Numeric Answer Question) and so it should be in it's learning.

Exactly what problem will this solve?:
Easy and quick publishing of plans directly from the learning environment instead of creating and publishing plans in a separate environment/tool. 
For whom do we solve that problem?:
Teachers and administrators
How will we measure success?:
Improved user experience. An easy and quick one-environment solution will leave more time to learning and teaching activities. May be a sales argument too.
What alternatives are out there?:
Other commercial tools for time planning that include the publishing possibility but are not learning environments.
Why we are best suited to pursue this?
it's learning is an environment for learning and teaching. A natural environment for teaching plans. Such plans should exist in direct connection with the environment, where teaching and learning is going on.
Why now?:
Schools in Denmark (and other countries?) have to publish information about the teaching plans on the school homepage or on another public site. Right now many danish schools look for a tool for this because their present tool is closing down. That present tool is a dedicated planning and publishing tool not a learning environment. If it's learning could fulfill their needs for planning and publishing combined with the facilities of a learning environment it could be an argument for buying.

User story:
As a: Teacher
I want to: easily publish my teaching plans as required by the authorities
so that: I don't have to spend too much time on it and in a natural connection with my teaching activities.

As an: Administrator
I want to: to be sure that plans of the school's teachers are published
so that: my school fulfill requirements of the authorities. If teachers can easily publish this is more easily fullfilled.

Suggestions:
In the Planner Settings we suggest a column where you can mark what columns in the plan descriptions that should be included in the published plan.
Because not all plans are necessarily to be published, there should be a possibility to mark which plans you want to publish.
The published plans should be placed at an easily readable webaddress and contain the name of the subject.

Schools often use courses as communities, libraries and the like. And as members of a teachers' community all teachers are given the teacher role.
Unfortunately this means, that all members have the right to delete and to archive the course.

As some of these communities/libraries have maybe 100 members, there is a good risk that some of them one day would feel like deleting or archiving the course.

To prevent that it would be nice, if a course administrator could give only some of the teachers - or none of them - the permission to archive or delete the course.

Exactly what problem will this solve? 
Problem: if a teacher returns to his earlier recorded comment/response on a pupil's  assignment answer, he can't see or hear his comment again from the pupil's assignment answer.
For whom do we solve that problem? Teachers and schools
How will we measure success? Better feedback processes in assignments. Better learning.

User story:
As a Teacher,
I want to Be able to record my comment on a pupil's assignment answer - and play it again. (Recording comments is easier and faster for me and those of my pupils that have reading difficulties get a lot more from my recorded comments than from my written comments. Many pupils who don't have reading difficulties prefer my recorded comments. )
so that I Save time and can be more ascertained that my pupils actually see/hear my feedback and learn from it.

It's important to describe the goal and the reason separate. The reason is the most important one, and is often not communicated. Users often only tell what they want, not why they want it. It's also important to break down huge requirements into many users stories.

If you start taking a survey and chooses 'Cancel' before finishing the survey, you get this message:  "Do you really want to cancel? You will not be able to continue answering from where you left off later."

It is our experience that users often misunderstand the message and think, that they will not be allowed to take the survey later. Due to this misunderstanding they conclude, that the right thing to do is to click 'Finish' instead of 'Cancel' to get out of the survey. And doing so they get the situation they try to avoid: they are not allowed to finish answering the questions in the survey.

We suggest that the message is changed by adding something like this: "But you can start the survey from the beginning again”.

Present status in Course > Participants > Participants enrolled is that the enrolled participants are presented in random order. It's neither alphabetical nor chronological.

We suggest that they will be presented in alphabetical order!

It should be added, that students enrolling themselves is very common at the University of Copenhagen.

As an administrator (and maybe as a teacher in a course) I would like be able to look up the registered mail-adresses of a group (eg. a course) without having to look in every single user's information.

I need a list of the users containing essential information (first and family name, telephone and mailaddress and so on).

The solution should include a list like the one you get in 'Administration' > 'User and access rights' > 'Print in list format' - but with sorting possibilities.
