OPINION: Displaying the Course Lesson List from the Current Right Side to the Customary Left Side?
So far, fluent community's course creation and lesson structuring is very smooth. But there is one aspect of the Lesson List display that may not be matching the tastes of many learners and course creators alike. The thing is that fc displays Lesson list Menu/Sidebar in the RTL (Right to Left) like format. While this could be desirable for learners of certain countries, course creators and learners from majority part of the world prefer it to be placed on the Left Side. And Learners are used to navigating their lessons that way.
Almost in all LMSes, the lesson list is displayed in the Left Side bar (of course, with the OPTION to place it on the right for people of certain countries). Due to this, something feels sincerely missing... a kind of awkward UI for those not used to this RTL format. Shahjahan JewelΒ , I am trying to draw your thoughtful attention to this matter. To some, this issue might be of normal importance, but since learning is a psychological process....if people are not psychologically comfortable with the pattern of the lesson presentation or UI, it could indeed be somewhat disturbing.
I would also like to listen to the opinion of my fellow course creators on this issue. Do you think that the Lesson List displaying on the left side bar is visually more pleasing than that on the right?
I personally like it on the right. I also like having options. :)
