Two assignment modules
New feature
in Moodle 2.3!
Moodle 2.3 includes two assignment modules - the new assignment module (a rewrite of the old assignment module) under /mod/assign/ and the old assignment module under /mod/assignment/ with four subtypes, renamed 'Assignments (2.2)'.
For new Moodle 2.3 installs, Assignments (2.2) is disabled/hidden. For sites which have upgraded from Moodle 2.2, both assignment modules are available. It is recommended that admins upgrade all existing assignments to use the new assignment module as soon as possible, as described in Assignment upgrade tool, then disable Assignments (2.2), to avoid the confusion of having two assignment modules.
