      • Develop test script based on key tasks, advertise, run and evaluate.
      • How can we direct, and push course admins to use the UCL baseline
      • Baseline features within our selected formats
      • Find out what's missing, what additional features could be added to make the Theme better eg New Talis page, Assessment page etc
      • identify issues and note comments
      • Feedback into Titus design process

Scope out development work for an improved MyFeedback block for the dashboard.

Identify how best to present the course and global search and whether they can be combined in the dashboard

Design a survey to gather feedback on all UCL (staff and students) Moodle 4 preview to gauge and track user feedback, and identify positives and areas for improvements

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..
