[Assignments] Assignment File Upload - Display full filenames

[randompawn]

Problem statement:

Assignments require multiple files to be uploaded. These files contain several words. But the list of files for upload truncates and only shows a part of the file name. The box listing these files uses less than half of the space allocated (as denoted by the thin border around the File Upload tab). As a result, I have had to resubmit files for assignments multiple times until I was able to get them all attached to an assignment. Some assignments require 10 or more files. I missed some files and lost points because of the difficulty in making sure all files are attached to an assignment.

Proposed solution:

1. Use the full space inside of the border to display file names. 2. Enable rollover of filenames on the Assignment upload screen tab (this does not work, I tried). 3. Add a button to toggle between full names or truncated names. 4. Wrap the file name if necessary.
