TI3 Implement a new Moodle Theme

TI3 Deliverables:

• Moodle 4.UX - UI/UX review of Titus Theme  - CTP-1801: Moodle 4.UX - UI/UX review of Titus Theme

  • What: Review the global approach to Moodle redesign - Not just theme, but to include course formats, navigation etc. Focused feedback UX interviews with stakeholder groups. Common task workshops. Identify issues and note comments—feedback into Titus design process.

  • Why: To ensure that the new Moodle Theme and combination of Moodle course formats and UCL System designer give our end user the best UI/UX experience we will be working with a Moodle specialist UI/UX to provide an "informed" point of view of our development and advise us on any additional changes we should implement to the UCL Moodle. We will also use this opportunity to document the license under which we are engaged with Titus learning in providing the UCL "leased theme" to ensure we understand what changes UCL can make to the Theme either directly via Titus or via UCL staff or another 3rd party.

  • Dependency: ? / Risk: ?

• Moodle 4.2 - UX - MyFeedback rework - CTP-1992: Moodle 4.2 - UX - MyFeedback rework

Agree release MVP. Release and Deploy as part of Moodle 4.x. Update Documentation. Communicate change.

  • Why: Review UCL MyFeedback report plugin to improve user experience. From work identified in the 4.UI/UX, we will rework the UCl MyFeedback UI/UX to work with the new Moodle Theme and improve its overall accessibility and user experience.

As a senior stakeholder UCL Moodle will look “modern” “high quality” “premium” and match the insitutions reputation for excellence. As a member of UCL Digital Presence the UCL theme will adhere to the UCL banding and system design as much as is possible within the Moodle application.

    • Senior stakleholders
    • User focus groups
    • Moodle Development User group
    • Digital Accessibility team
    • UCl Design team
    • General staff and student

• • Why: Engage with both focus groups and wider community. Ensure clear and appropriate communication with stakeholder groups. Obtain feedback feed into continuous improvement process. 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.

  • Dependency: ???.
