** Using WeBWorK **

The following interesting behavior in WeBWorK2 seems to me to be counter-intuitive:

• As an instructor, selecting Hwk Sets Editor -> Edit selected sets gives a page titled "Set List" with the options to change a set's visibility, open/close/due dates, and header files.
• Similarly selecting Instructor Tools -> Edit one set gives a page titled with the set name, with the options to change a set's visibility, open/close/due dates, and header files, and edit the list of problems for the set and determine to whom it has been assigned.

Shouldn't these do the same thing?

Thanks,
Gavin

I think multi-set editing is a good thing, but we can't very well show the assignment and problem data in a table like that. So when multiple sets are selected, we have to use the "Set List" edit mode.

Right now, the behavior is this:

The "Set List" uses its own edit mode when you use "Edit selected sets" or click on the little pencil. The instructor tools index page uses the "Set Detail" to edit a single set.

I would like it to be more like this:

The "Set List" uses the "Set Detail" when the pencil is clicked or "Edit selected sets" is used with only one set selected. When more than one is selected, it uses its own edit mode. The instructor tools index page uses the "Set Detail" to edit a single set.

Your thoughts?

One thing that will help is better names for the "pages" So far I like "Class list editor" and "Hmwk Sets Editor". We don't have to change the programming names of the modules, but we should, for example, change the title of "Set Lists" to "Hmwk Sets Editor".

Other suggestions?
