[Building Sakai] Assignments & Calendar Events

[Kirschner, Beth]

Instructors are given the option to "Add due date to schedule" when creating an assignment. This results in a calendar event being added on the due date, along with the name of the assignment, a link to the assignment and the assignment's attachments.

However, the text of the assignment (Instructions) is not included in the calendar event.

The inclusion of the assignment attachments in a due date calendar event seems wrong, and the lack of the text of the assignment adds to this disconnect – it also has caused problems with assignment attachments becoming visible prior to the assignment's open date.

We propose removing attachments from the calendar events associated with assignments (https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-27919).

Let me know if anyone can think of a reason not to proceed.

Thanks!
