[ARCHIVED] New Rich Content Editor and Document Uploads in Assignments

With the new RCE activated, students have discovered a work-around for uploading documents in assignments that are intended to only collect text entry submissions.  Even though the instructors are isolating submission types to online --> text entry, students use the new RCE toolbar insert tab to locate 'upload document', rather than copying/pasting the contents of the document as text in the text entry space.

Anybody discover a way to turn off the 'upload document' feature in an assignment when text entry is the only method of submission chosen by the instructor?

Hi @DR-BRZ 

I'm not finding a way to limit that functionality.

I would suggest making sure in the directions that file uploads won't be accepted and result in a grade of zero. Once word get's out that you're serious about it, they will quit.
