SUGGESTION: Mobile ed please don't waste our time

There is some administrative work that I suspect is done by  many course takers that could better be done once by Faithlife - some people probably don't do but wish they could:

  1. Provide a Reading list on which we can mark off our progress (examples of these shared by users are available at https://topics.logos.com/Logos_Mobile.Ed_Reading_Lists)
  2. Either provide a pre-defined reading plan for those who prefer to set dates OR add a "by course section" option to the Reading plan tool.
  3. Provide a complete bibliography of the reading materials via a Bibliography document
  4. Assume a default note file under the course title, which of course the user can override - by this fits well with the "by resource" default just implemented elsewhere

Not only would this decrease the administrative effort on the part of the participant, it would also increase the user knowledge of these features.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Thanks, MJ, these are good suggestions. I forwarded them on to our dev team to see how easily or effectively we could incorporate them into Mobile Ed courses. While we don't have Bibliography documents of the readings right now, we do have a list of all the resources we link to (including how often we link to them) with the resource titles and IDs that we can publish to the specific course Faithlife groups. We also publish a notes file that includes a note for all the readings to those groups that you can use to take additional notes (although creating a new, clean note file is probably preferable).
