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 selected assignment activities 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' types and sizes of file to the existing file types successfully and tailor them to some individual 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 the assignment activities. Teachers are currently unable to restrict certain types of file to upload in all or some assignment activities due to this default setting being applied to any assignments that require students/teachers to upload a file(s) to their assignment activities.
