Introduction

Webservices are required to interact with the new Assignment module for 2.3. Ideally this would include support for all of the features available through the web interface to the assignment.

Note: There are some features that are implemented by core Moodle such as advanced grading and comments that should be supported by a different webservice outside of the assignment module.

Examples

(Full details to come soon - separated by capability)

Admin functions (add, update, delete on the assignment instance are left out because they should sit in the course webservice)

• mod_assign_save_grade
• mod_assign_revert_to_draft

• mod_assign_unlock_grade
• mod_assign_grading_disabled
• mod_assign_download_submissions

Features

All assignment features available from the web interface to be available via the web service.

The harder parts to determine will be how to work with the plugins and how to accept file uploads for submissions.

Also for consideration would be batch marking.
