Problem/Motivation
The lessons currently on learndrupal.org are not always written in a consistent way.
This might be confusing for the readers and does not give a great user experience.
The lessons should have good step-by-step instructions, have screenshots and/or code snippets where needed.
Please post your ideas in the comments below or edit the issue.
NOTE: I just learned that there is a project for this: drupal.org/project/lessons, so this issue is probably not in the right place.
Proposed resolution
It would be great if we could come up with a consistent user experience where all lessons have the same structure, layout and are easily scannable by the user.
This could be accomplished with a well thought-out content type and good theming, and also providing good guidelines in the content type for the author.
Remaining tasks
- Go through the lessons currently on learndrupal.org and see what information types are used and needed.
- Create a content type with all the needed fields and a good explanation for each field.
- Make sure the lessons are consistent, look good, are easily scannable, and are easy to follow.
- Theme the content type (maybe use Display Suite).
- Make a feature for the content type.
Do usability testing.
User interface changes
Maybe use Display Suite to present the lesson as cleanly and structured as possible.
API changes
None.
