Rationale
• User experience reviews are critical:
• New features can cause clutter in UI, confusion, bad user experience
• New features can clash with existing or planned features and lead to unexpected behavior
• Stanford only has one designer to tackle the workload, so we need help
Requirements for Contributions
Clear specs are a must:
• Rationale for new feature/enhancement
• Description of expected behavior
• Documentation of all affected screens
• Screen shots desirable

Release Scores Only
• Based on feedback from instructors wanting to show students their scores without allowing them to see questions again (since questions are reused in subsequent tests)
• Solution is to separate out scores from rest of feedback options

Clarification of Settings
Send zero scores to Gradebook for non-submission records
• Clash of scoring rules in Tests & Quizzes and Gradebook caused inability to set zero scores for non-submission records for inclusion in course grade calculation
• Solution is to allow instructors to explicitly enter a zero score for a non-submission record that gets sent to gradebook
• Patch contributed by Longsight

Rich Text Entry for Short Answer/Essay
• Instructors from several institutions requested a way for students to enter rich text in essay questions for equations, foreign characters, or just general formatting
• Solution is to present students with the ability to use the FCKeditor in Short Answer/Essay questions.

Publish Action
• Based on feedback that Settings and Publish actions were redundant, both leading to Settings page
• Solution is to link Publish action to Publish Assessment page where settings are verified and notification added (if desired)

Remove Assessment Types
• Assessment Types often prove to be confusing to instructors, since they may not know what the labels mean and what settings go with them
• One solution is to remove any trace of assessment types with a sakai property (samigo.showAssessmentTypes=False)
