[samigo-team] Samigo settings revamp

[Henry, Roger James]

Hi All,

With regard to Lynn's suggestion about limiting the period of time during which students can view feedback, I'd like to offer this amplification: that we design it as "this, then this," as opposed to "this, then nothing."

I suspect that folks will automatically think that if we're restricting the period of time for students to view feedback, that we are talking about making all feedback inaccessible after a certain date ("this, then nothing").

My suggestion would be to design it so that the instructor is able to define a 'new state' for the feedback settings to take effect after a certain date ("this, then this"). That way, we'd capture 2 types of use case: (a) Instructor wants to hide all feedback after a certain date - which could be the default, and which captures the "this, then nothing" use case;  and (b) Instructor wants to go from showing full feedback - questions, comments, scores, etc. - to showing only the assessment score at a certain date.

With the one design we would capture a broader range of use cases.
