Proposals/Submissions
From Mahara Wiki
< Proposals
Summary
The Submissions plugin provides two basic functionalities.
Group submissions
For group tutors and admins this plugin adds a comfortable management of current and already released group submissions by providing a sort and filterable table in its own group tab including direct access to the portfolios resp. their archived version.
Additional metadata is also provided together with the possibility to release the portfolio or to assign an evaluator and an evaluation result.
All user involved submissions
Under Menu->Share->Submissions the user has the possibility to view the above mentioned table with the same functionality for all his groups he is member in. Two more columns ("Group name" and "Role") are displayed here in addition. This table can be used as a Mahara internal "grading book light" for it provides all submissions the user made on the platform. In addition it is a great simplification for assessors, because they don't need to visit each group to evaluate the related submissions individually but can do all evaluations and releases from this "central assessment point".
