Since the proposal deadline is today, I am sending out a shout out to encourage a proposal.  If not, I did request a birds of a feather event on the topic, as backup.

Specifically, we changed the model from automatically submitting student papers to the repository to requiring the professor to select that papers will be stored in the repository.  We had several faculty that objected to the auto-store function.  Also, the integration we had in our previous LMS required professors to opt-out of saving (and many professors didn't know that the default behavior was to save the papers).  We essentially changed the model to an instructor opt-in process.

This is an assignment tool workflow issue rather than an integration issue

Not from UCT as we don't use this feature - can't talk for any other 
university though
