[Building Sakai] Samigo - File Upload question type

[Neal Caidin]

Hi Jaco,

How else will Samigo know how much the maximum point value for the question
is, and consequently, the maximum point total for the exam?

If it seems confusing to a number of instructors then perhaps there is
something that can be improved in the user interface, but to me the basic
workflow makes sense. I wonder what it is that could be improved? Maybe
could be determined in one of the UX usability testing sessions. Maybe a
simple way to distinguish between auto graded and manually graded items?

Best regards,
Neal
