Assignment/Draft Features/Publish student assignment to other students

Publish student assignment to other students

This is a proposal for an additional feature to provide the ability for a teacher to publish selected student assignments that could be used as e.g an example/answer model/feedback or any other purposes to other students after getting the required permission from the owners of the assignments in Assignment module.

Goals and rationale

The main goal of this feature is to :

• Provide an ability for a teacher to publish submitted student assignments to other students after obtaining the required permission from students to do so when student assignments have been selected for a student assignment publication to other students

Overview

The current behavior regarding the ability for teachers to publish submitted student assignments to other students has not yet been supported. With this 'Publish student assignment' feature, it will give teachers the ability and the permission (if granted) to publish student assignments of their choice to other students for a number of reasons such as for an answer model/feedback example for other students

A setting added to the mod_assign settings page

Submission publication (select yesno, default to no)

[Help text] When set to yes, a check box and an empty text box for the assignment publishing consent statement in the marker feedback status will be visible to the marker in every student assignment submission. if the check box is ticked and the assignment publishing consent statement added and saved in some student assignment submission feedbacks then another a check box along with the assignment publishing consent statement will be visible to the students whose their submitted assignments have been chosen by the marker/teacher for student assignment publications. The students will get notified of their assignments having been selected for a publication and requiring their permission consents by ticking the check box and press the 'grant' button when they receive their respective grades and feedbacks in the submission status page. (this will be the assignment publishing permission check box and it will of course be made 'optional' for the students).

Assignment publishing permission consent form

Text area/box (default to empty)

[Help text] if 'Publish this assignment submission' check box is checked, the assignment publishing consent statement must NOT be left empty (it'll turn to 'required' once 'Publish this assignment submission' check box has been checked in order to proceed further) as this consent statement will be visible to the students whose their submitted assignments have been selected for an assignment publication in the student submission status page once they have received their grades and feedbacks
