[Using Sakai] [Building Sakai] Autosubmit feature in Samigo

[Ward, Lynn E.]

IU also has a patch, but it works a little differently.  If the assessment allows late submissions then the retract date is used as the trigger. Otherwise, the due date is used.   I'm on vacation but you can contact ying Wang or Megan May if there is any interest.

1) I understand that tests that were not submitted by the due date will be automatically submitted when you reach that due date, and that you can set an interval of time to autosubmit after that. Are the autosubmit rules different for every quiz or is this something that happen at at certain interval on the whole Sakai instance?

Auto-submit is a flag that can be set per assessment. It is binary flag; there are no intervals.  You run the auto-submit job via Sakai's Job Scheduler.

Stanford has said previously that they run the auto-submit job once a day, late at night.


2) If a student starts a 2-hour timed assessment 1 hour before the due date and logs out after 55 minutes for any reason, will that student be able to get back in after the quiz' deadline to continue his test, for which he still has less than an hour allowed, or has the test been autosubmitted?


Currently, the auto-submit job will submit if the due date has passed.  So if the student gets in before the auto-submission job has run, then yes.... if the auto-submit job has run, then no.



3) Would there be a way to set the retract date as the autosubmit trigger?


That is also the way I believe it should function.  After a long back and forth, it seems there is consensus to change the functionality.  Please see this JIRA; I have a patch attached:
