Notes

• Both IU and Georgia Tech will be postponing their pilot plans, beginning with Iteration 3 in mid-summer rather than Iteration 2 at the beginning of Summer.
• In the next couple weeks we'll call an end to Iteration 2 QA and begin development on Iteration 3 in trunk, once the design has firmed up.
• Kristol (IU) and Ashish (GT) will both have designs completed by April 11, and we'll start talking them over next week.
• Carl is going to develop a performance-testing plan to be executed as a part of Iteration 3 QA.
• We'll wait to hear from Ryan and Megan about another Iteration 2 QA tag
• Design Matters
  • Due Dates should be available in the Gradebook for its presentation, but managed in Assignments
  • Instructors should have the option of setting a single, hard due date (i.e. no late submissions), and as this is the most common use case it should be the default.
  • Upload All should allow graders to upload a single, unzipped CSV file with grades and feedback if they prefer, rather than the current behavior which always requires zipping. Those graders who wish to return "marked up" assignments (e.g. with edited attachments) will have to continue to zip those up to submit them. The upload code will simply handle whichever the grader tries to upload - .zip or .csv.
