Currently using 2.5, about to upgrade to 2.9. Have been running 2.5 for about 2 years.
Recently moved from the Moodle admin to Business owner and trainer. Finally given me a chance to look more closely at how things work.
After some investigation, have discovered that no matter what is done in the set up (except for cut off date which defeats the purpose) - student can edit their assignment after they have submitted, including after the due date. So, students can go to the assignment and click edit submission anytime after the due date and upload a 'new' assignment. Styaff will not know as usually notifications are turned off
There are 2 ways of preventing this, markers need to either prevent changes or lock submissions.
However, still in shock that students can delete and re-upload after the due date. Possibly after the tutor has marked, given feedback, and then the student then makes changes.
Should that student ever appeal their grade in the future, the assignment will be [much better], and there is little chance that whoever is taking the assignment out of the back version will notice the date stamp.
Am i completely wrong in my thinking here? It seems to me the following is more appropriate - Resubmissions prior to due date, no submission changes except later submitters after the due date... Is this achievable?
