Assignment/Draft Features/Resubmission Management
Marking workflow
This is a proposal for an additional feature to retain a history of submissions, grades and feedback for the assignment module.
Goals and rationale
The main goals of this feature are to :
- Retain an accurate history of student and teacher contributions over time.
Overview
Whenever a submission is updated by a student or a grader, an archive version should be recorded along with the date of the archive and who made the change. These archives should be viewable by the grader.
Status
The feature is currently only a proposal
Design
Changes to assignment settings
None (hopefully)
Changes to the grading table
Add a "View history" link to the submission action menu. This would show a separate page with the list of edits to a submission by date and allow you to view the submission_summary page as of that revision.

Use cases
Review old submission
- Student submits assignment
- Teacher gives feedback and asks for new submission
- Student resubmits
- Teacher gives new feedback
- Teacher now wants to look at the first submission to see what is changed
- Teacher clicks on "View history" for this submission and then reviews the first student submission.
Potential issues
Students submitting multiple versions of large assignments will require more disk space. How should this affect the course upload limit?
