Assignment/Draft Features/File submission restrictions

File Submission Restrictions

This is a proposal for an additional feature to better manage and restrict the types and sizes of file in individual assignments in the Assignment module

Goals and rationale

The main goals of this feature are to :

• Better manage the types of file and their sizes that can be accepted in selected assignment activities
• Provide the ability to add 'new' selected types of files and their sizes that can been added to the existing file types successfully and tailor them to individual and specific assignments depending on their specific requirements.

Overview

Current file types and sizes in the Assignment module

The current default setting in regards to acceptable file types in the Assignment module is that files of any types can be uploaded and used as submission or feedback files in assignment activities. A teacher is not able to restrict certain types of files in some assignments as this default setting applies to any assignments that require students/teachers to upload a file(s) to their assignment activities.
