Tutors at my college also needed the feature that allowed them to include returned commented assignments or other files to students as part of their feedback.

This feature is present in the 'Advanced Uploading of Files' option in the standard Assignment module as an alternative to installing the UploadReview plugin. (We're using Moodle 1.8). Select this option from the list when you're initially creating the Assignment activity in your course.

As explained earlier by Elena Ivanova (see http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=73879), you need to bring up the Submissions table by clicking on the 'View XXX Submissions' link. Click on the 'Grade' link and the option to upload files that are then passed on to the student should be visible. Files can be attached before or after students have submitted their assignment(s).

There does seem to be a bug though, in that if grading a submission, any comments typed in the comments box will be lost as soon as the first file to be attached in the grading is uploaded. Suggest you click 'Save changes' to save comments and the grade before attaching files. Attaching any subsequent files will not delete comments that have already been saved.

Cheers,
