Hi Joseph
Thank you for your response. I believe that you have answered my original question 'Are there plans to develop a feedback facility for essay questions within the lesson itself?' and the answer is No. That in itself is useful to us in planning our approach to this issue. I have been in discussion with Michael Hughes in considering the options here. Michael and I work in the same team at the University of Strathclyde. MIchael wanted to be sure there was no planned develoipment withing the Lesson module before we went down the route of using your block and his sugestion of the hack to the block makes its use more useful to us.
Ultimately, I do feel that the best solution would be to have the previous attempts review within the Lesson module as with the Quiz but if that is not planned we will work with what there is.
Thank you for your time.
Sue
