[Building Sakai] Assignment Reminders?

[Gregory Guthrie]

Steve,
Neat implementation idea (as usual!).

I’m still evaluating if this approach could replace a custom system which we have which does this, so we could use Sakai instead.
If so, we’ll look at this approach.

Hi Gregory,

For this sort of regular process I would create a quartz script that hooks into the assignment API to get the info, then send out an email to students. This would be a pretty sweet integration, it could even be configured in Assignments (send reminder x days before due). If I had a few spare hours I'd love to do this!

Cheers
Steve

I posted this to Sakai-user, but thought perhaps this was a better forum to ask::

Is there any existing feature or user addition to have automated reminders for non-submitted assignments?

The basic idea is that if there is a project due in various milestones over a course, if a student has not submitted one they would get an email reminder at some point, and then maybe another escalating one after the due date, but before the last accept-until date?

Conceptually one could scan the database for assignments and submissions, and then have some external program do this – but of course(!) such database hooks are discouraged!  :-)

Or is there enough information available from existing web-services to implement such a reminder utility as an external program? (That seems simpler and better to decouple it than as a part of a Sakai build.)
