[Building Sakai] Assignments Attachments Problem

[Jon Higham]

Thanks Adam. My problem was that described in KNL-465, but I'll pass on
your comments to people who do our documentation. Another thanks to
Stephen Marquard for passing that onto me.

anything here, esp number 2?

 

A: There are a number of restrictions when using Turnitin. The nature of
these restrictions are such that you are unlikely to encounter any of
these in practice; however it is worth being aware of them in case you
have any problems. The scenario when you are most likely to run into
them would be when you are testing Turnitin for yourself with artificial
sample data. 

1.	Turnitin distinguishes users on the basis of e-mail address.
Therefore, once an e-mail address has been associated with a particular
user it can not be associated with another one. 

2.      The name of the WebLearn
<http://wiki.oucs.ox.ac.uk/weblearn/WebLearn>  site containing the
assignment must be greater than 5 characters. 

3.	Document submissions must be over 100 characters in length. 
4.	Assignment durations should not be "too" short. For example, you
may well encounter problems with duration of just one day. (For testing
purposes, you will still be able to examine many of the aspects of the
Assignment + Turnitin workflow (such as creation, return and viewing of
originality reports, etc) by setting a duration of 5 - 7 days). 
5.	You must choose At tachments only for the type of student
submission. 

6.      Turnitin accepts the following file types for submissions - MS
Word (*.doc), ? <http://wiki.oucs.ox.ac.uk/weblearn/WordPerfect>
WordPerfect, RTF, PDF, Postscript, HTML and plain text. 

7.      Currently, although re-submission can be enabled in WebLearn
<http://wiki.oucs.ox.ac.uk/weblearn/WebLearn> , any re-submitted
assignments will not be sent to Turnitin.

We are running Sakai 2.6.0 on Kernel 1.0.14 with Turnitin Integration
0.6. We're having problems with students submitting attachments on one
site.

 

When a student select a file and clicks Continue, they get no
confirmation under the "Submitted Attachments" heading that it has been
attached, although if they continue and click "Submit" the Instructor
can see that an attachment has been submitted.

 

We only get this on one site. If I copy the assignment to another site,
there is no problem, but if I duplicate the site then I get the problem
in the new site as well. I've checked the permissions and realms but
can't see anything wrong with them.

 

Has anyone else had this problem or suggest anything?

 

 

Thanks
