Hi Edoardo,

This is something we've been discussing here for a while... but let me ask you a few questions and let me give you an scenario:

Say we have a lesson with 5 activities, student1 has done all these activities and now shows in the Completed students bar in monitor. What you saying is that we should be able to take the student icon and move it to an previously done activity, so say we move it to activity #3 in the lesson.

Now student1, when he clicks on the lesson again, jumps to activity #3 (let's say this is a Q&A activity -as an example) rather than to the end of the lesson. Now here are the questions:

1.- What do we do with the previews answer/work that the student has done (before) in activity#3: delete it, or just allow modification of his/her original responses?

2.- After the student finished activity#3, do we want him/her to jump to the next activity (activity#4) or to the end the sequence? If we want him to go to activity #4, we have the same questions as previously mentioned.

Thanks,

Ernie

The reality is that a lot of teachers and students like to repeat a lesson.
Of course there exist the possibility to see again an activity by double clicking on it but this is not the same.

What do you think if we have an option similar to preview at authoring environment.

In this case a student is able to run a sequence once (as preview e.g. for testing reasons)and the to run again as first time.
This means (to give an answer in your questions Ernie) We delete the previews answers.

On the other hand this is not correct in a normal running because his or her answers had been affect the answers or the behavior of another student in a collaborative activity.

What to do you think

No, if the learner has answered, not the question arises: he has the feedback and the possibility of repeating the attempts if provided.

The "dramatic" scenario is the following: the learner had to contribute to a debate but has written anything (in chat and/or forum). Perhaps it has done so by mistake: then, in any case, the teacher brings it back on the activity. And if necessary or appropriate, may be recorded this fact in the learner's portfolio.
