Hi!
This might be something I just missed, but:
I would need individual students to upload an assignment (a paper) that immediately becomes available for other students to read and discuss. Is this possible with the standard assignment module in 1.5 (though I haven't found out how), or is it possible through some add-on module? I have tried some "new assignment" mods, and a review-assignment, but they do not seem to provide this feature as far as I can see.
Or is this better done in another way, without the assignment modules at all?
Any suggestions?

As you have tried both 3rd party alternatives already would it solve
your problem if you created a forum and the students made a post and
included their paper as an attachment? You could also then use the
rating system.

Have you tried "Workshop"? That's what it's for.
Hi!
Thanks for your suggestions! I think the forum way would work.
I'm looking at the workshop module, but it seems a bit messy, and if I get it right, there is no way for a continuing discussion there...or?
But I also try to work out another solution: would it be possible to make the folder where assignments are placed, available as a resource? Problem is that I can't figure out where assignment files are placed - anyone know about this?

Hi Magnus,
If you try uploading a sample assignment, then follow the Files link in your course administration block, you'll find your sample in a numbered folder in Files >> moddata >> assignment.
However, I doubt you'll be able to make the moddata folder (or any folder within it) available as a resource, since it is generally accepted that students should not be able to access other students' uploaded assignments.
I agree with Darren that a forum would be the best solution for a continuing discussion.
