URL submissions
This is a proposal for an additional submission type feature in the Assignment module
Goals and rationale
The main goals of this feature are to :
- Enable users to enter the URL of a web page for copying it into Moodle (copying and then zipping it) and using it as a form of submission in an assignment activity.
Overview
Unlike URL downloader repository, this URL submission will copy the whole content of a web page (not just images like URL downloader repo) and put the copy into a zipped folder so the marker can run it offline on a web browser on her laptop
Settings added to the mod_assign settings page
URL submission (select yesno, default to no)
[Help text] When set to yes, a text box for entering a web page address will be visible to students as one of their forms of submitting the assignment
Changes to submission settings interface
URL submission
If the URL submission select yesno is set to yes, a text box for entering a web page URL will be visible to students as one of their forms of submitting the assignment. Anything entered in the box will be checked to ensure that the input is in a web address format before the assignment submission can be saved and submitted for grading
URL submission section addition in the submission page interface
URL submission section
Additional submission section containing a text box for entering a web page URL is added and appearing in the submission page when this feature is enabled and its setting is set to yes.
