Assignment

Hi Gustav,

I think that's the latest version.  I have one suggestion, Michael, et. al have added the "email to students" option -- which I think should be standard for all assignments that teachers can grade/comment on so the students get notified.  You might think about adding this to yours too.

I think I was a bit optimistic thinking that this would be a quick job for an evening. Instead I have started to first of all put some phpdoc documentation into the assignment module's lib.php. I am slowly beginning to understand it.

I cannot offer you any help with the information you request but I can really tell you that combining these two types of assignments is a great idea. Precisely for the reason Chardelle mentions: it is good to be able to give the student the choice as to how s/he wants to hand in the assignment. I personally like the on-line assignment better because it is a bit more comfortable for me to revise but some of my students don't have good internet access at home and complain about having to write their assignments on-line. What I do then is to resort to the upload mode and everyone (even those who would have preferred to write it on-line) has to use Word or whatever. This solution would make everyone happy.
