Mahara Assignment Feedback Plugin

This feedback plugin offers a purely supporting role to its submission sibling. If a teacher enables this plugin on a Moodle assignment that is using the Mahara assignment submission plugin, then any submitted Mahara pages & collections will be unlocked on the Mahara side once their Moodle submission is graded.

(Without this plugin, Mahara pages that are submitted through the Moodle submission plugin, remain permanently locked in Mahara, to provide a grading audit trail.)

Requirements

• Moodle 2.6
• Fully integrated Moodle -> Mahara instances
• The Mahara assignment submission plugin for Moodle
