Youth Forum Admin Feedback -- Notes from Michele Anciaux Aoki 1/13/2004

General Questions and Ideas

  1. In general, the Admin section of the site seems very good. It explained a lot of things to me -- but, then, the average user won't see these pages. I think I would incorporate some of the explanations into a general Site Overview.
     
  2. The Admin menu items don't carry over on other pages in the Admin area. I found myself constantly going back to the Home page to get to a link. Could they be added as links in the footer perhaps, e.g.,
    USER MANAGER | CUSTOMIZED PROJECT MANAGER | PROJECT BROKER | PROJECT INSTANCE MANAGER  etc.

    or perhaps in the header in the space to the left of TEACHERS' MODULES?
     
  3. Since the Admin area is for a limited, task-oriented audience, perhaps the instructions should be more direct, rather than descriptive. For example, see this sample file of User Manager Help with step-by-step instructions.
     
  4. Remove "The" from page titles since it's not meaningful and isn't used in the navigation list on Home page.
