[DG: Teaching & Learning] Group submissions for Sakai 10

[Neal Caidin]

Hi Pedagogy,

A new groups submission feature in Assignments is being turned on for 
Sakai 10. It's a very cool feature that allows any member of a group to 
submit an assignment on behalf of the group. By default, the group all 
receives the same grade. The instructor can override the grade for any 
member of the group. A very well thought out feature, imo.

However, as I was doing some QA03 testing (no, I'm not trying to lay a 
guilt trip on anyone ;-) ) , I noticed that to turn the feature on, you 
click a check box which says "Are submissions for a group?" .  This is 
just a little above "Display to selected groups".  The difference is 
that you might want an Assignment distributed to a particular group, and 
each student submits their own assignment, which is Display to selected 
groups. To me, the wording between these two options is too close and 
the difference is not clear. Wondering if this is just me?

It's too late to make a change for Sakai 10, but just being a trouble 
maker and curious what others think (maybe for a Sakai 10.x or Sakai 11).

Cheers,
Neal
