Assignment Subtypes Combined
From MoodleDocs
Introduction
This feature is part of the assignment module redevelopment project (https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Assignment). It involves creating a new module (mod_assign) that supersedes the previous one (mod_assignment). It provides all of the features of the four standard subtypes within one module (ie - you can enable file uploads, online text, notes, feedback etc).
Examples
See the use cases in the assignment redevelopment page.
- Assignment#Use_Case_1:_File_Upload_Assignment
- Assignment#Use_Case_2:_Assignment_starter_file
- Assignment#Use_Case_4:_Assignment_activity_that_has_no_Moodle_component._.28previously_Offline_Assignment.29
- Assignment#Use_Case_10:_Online_Text
- Assignment#Use_Case_14:_Status_message
This list is not exhaustive - the new assignment module will allow combinations that were not previously possible (e.g. An online assignment that also accepts file submissions)
