Hi Stephen,
Thank you for that. I still can't see that setting (can see the others above and below it!), but we're on Moodle 2.6 - will be moving to 2.8 in the next month, so maybe it's a version thing?
Relating to your question, I think the answer, in theory, is yes. We've had a couple of tutors do this recently and email notifications did go out once they set the assignments to 'released'. However, there was some confusion, with some notifications being sent out beforehand, I think because of the 'yes' default setting when they had saved a change. Hopefully we can get around this by changing that setting when it is available to me.
Best wishes,
Alicia
