Forum .LRN Q&A: Join/drop a class or group - Usability

Hi,

I have a little suggestion for the joining a community or class. The list of all available classes and groups also contains a direct link to a specific class even though a student might not have requested membership. As soon as the student clicks on the link an annoying message that he has not the permission is shown.

My suggestion is to either remove all the links so that the Join button is brought to the attention of the student or change the link to add the membership of the student directly.

What do you think? I receive many emails on this matter, that students think they can follow the link and have no the permission. They don't understand that the have to join first.

Greetings,
Nima

Nima,

Here at Sloan this little issue you mention has been a thorn in my side for quite some time.  We have an internal bug ticket in for it.  I hope to get it fixed soon here and I am sure that fix will get committed to dotLRN/OACS/whatever you call it for everyone.
