I had a course on It's:learning last week with many teachers using netbooks.  Most of these have a smaller screen, and this means a lot of scrolling up and down for the users of It's:learning.  The netbooks are increasingly popular both among students and teachers.

 Is it an idea to minimise/ make smaller the top menues, news and bulletins on the mainpage for the users of netbooks?

We use assignments quite a lot assessing students in our school.  We miss a function were students can "check" and also comment on the teachers assesment of an assignment.  This way teachers can both control that the student has read the assessment, but also reflect on it, ask questions etc.
