[DG: Teaching & Learning] Assignments - Save and Don't Release

[Neal Caidin]

Hi All,

As you can see below, we had quite a distribution of votes for how the 
behavior should work for assignment resubmissions and the "Save and 
Don't Release to Student" workflow. Therefore, if we have time perhaps 
we can discuss the options today or at a meeting in the near future to 
see if we can hash things out?

Survey options for Assignments "Save and Don't Release to Student" and 
assignment resubmission:

  1. Keep the current behavior. Unlike the markup in the student's 
submission, which is different each time the student submits, the 
instructor feedback is intended as a final assessment of the work, which 
should not be released until grade is released. Probably needs an 
additional note explaining.
  2. Comment is intended to be a comment on the current submission. 
Student should see it, and it should be cleared when the student does a 
new submission. In this case Don't Release applies to the grade, not the 
feedback.
  3. Same as #2 except student should have access to the previous feedback.
  4. Comment is intended as a final assessment, but student should see 
it when doing revisions. In this case the student should see the current 
feedback text, but it should not be cleared when the student does a new 
submission. In this case Don't release applies to the grade, not the 
feedback.
  5. Allowing resubmissions should only be allowed for Save and Release 
to Student, which provides the grade and the instructor feedback to the 
student, and this option, allowing resubmissions, should be removed for 
Save and Don't Release to Student. Perhaps that button should be renamed 
"Save Draft", to make this behavior clearer.
