course: notify students about returned assignments #2709

Open haraldschilly opened 6 years ago

haraldschilly commented 6 years ago

My students have reported that they get no sort of notification when I return a graded assignment to them. Can that make the bell ring and generate a notification for them?

... or maybe via email?

This could be implemented by adding a chatroom with a simple message in it to the assignment before rerurning it, and making a file_use notification call in every target when returning it (to mark the chat as "newly changed" and a chat so it gets a number).

With the chatroom there, students would then have an easy way to respond to the instructor or ask questions...

That could also just be a side effect of email notifications for chat.

This may be stale and not requested, but I would very much like to have such functionality as a student, and I think that implementation via a chat room is a great idea to make use of existing notification system, emails, and possibility to chat with the instructor right there!

If it is not terribly difficult to implement, I suggest doing it and turning it on by default, while having an option to disable it in course configuration, probably as a global switch "Send students emails about assignments and handouts being sent out/collected/returned"
