TI3 - 2021/22 - Must do - Moodle 4.0 - New Theme Design

AS note - this feature will need breaking down further. Features to be created & refined for TI4 onwards.

Feature  1 - Feedback Widget

Review purpose of deployment of feedback widget on Production 3.11 -

Q. Are we clear on the benefits this will bring to a new Theme for 4.0?

Q. Would it be better deployed on instances with Moodle 4.0 themes?

Q. Should this also be used to capture accessibility issues?

Agree path forward on this

Feature 2 - Plan how to engage with the user community

Requirement: Engage with supplier and kickoff initial 1-2 day of consultation on Moodle 4.0 theme.

• Outcome: Workshop direction we wish to take and agree rough timeline. (Currently the PO favours creating a new theme based on the Moodle core theme, to apply UCL's branding but with minimal alterations beyond that to begin with) → If we go down this basic route, we don't need to go external for theme development Ops&Devs in the team can implement.

Q. Possible to spend more attention on course format compatibility?

Requirement: Work with UCL design team to obtain design guidance on what we must have in the theme. - https://www.ucl.ac.uk/cam/brand/guidelines

Outcome: Branding Guidelines shared with VLE team & supplier

Feature 3 - Review top community themes & identify desirable features 

Requirement: Make selected themes available to Digi-Ed staff and to wider user group to elicit feedback. This should be staged with user group expanding as choices narrow on theme design.

Will include: Spinning up Moodle instances with those themes
