Structured feedback assignment subplugin for Moodle
===================================================

The structured feedback assignment subplugin enables teachers to define
any number of criteria on which to provide individual feedback comments
for a student's assignment submission.

The configured 'criteria set' can then be saved for easy reuse in other
assignments. Given the appropriate permissions the teacher can also
choose to share their saved criteria sets with other teachers within
the same Moodle site.
