New feature could be added in assigment module "Essay type of assigment online" in these case student will upload document files but answering/writing directly in moodle assignment module by using the moodle online editor.
Yes, this is exactly what I had been looking for. I would love to see it added.
But will it compel the student to use his typing skills?
Is there any way out that the learner need not use much typing to submit 'essay type' assignments and just clck his answers?
If I understand you correct then use quiz instead.
