Subject: Hideable content in Moodle
No previous message | Next message →

Hi everyone!

I am working on making the Moodle shells of our school's classes
accessible, and one of the objects that I'm working on is a javascript
class called 'hideabox', and it hides certain divs from being displayed by
default, and allows the user to unhide the div by clicking on a text link
that reads 'click here to view the weekly task list'.

I know that it doesn't complicate things in any official rule breaking, but
I'm just wondering if it may cause issues in general for someone with
cognitive overload, or just add an extra click for someone who is not a
mouse or keyboard user.

Any input would be appreciated!

Thank you for your time,

So, I don't know much about moodle, but do students and instructors have accounts?

If they could set a setting there that always showed or always hid these things, then people could get whatever view they needed most.

At a former job we did have an education product, a quiz where students had to click away the result ("good job" or "sorry, missed that one") after every question, and a head mouse user mentioned this really tired them out. So it would be good to ask why some div are being hidden (removing minor tasks from a page with lots and lot sof tasks seems like it could be a decent cognitive argument for example).

If people can't set things up the way they need, this likely needs user testing.

cheers,
