Allow Students to See Assignment Submissions

[rob_terry]

Is there a way to allow all students in a class to view each other's submissions for an assignment?

Hi @rob_terry,

For something submitted in the Assignments area, the only built-in way for other students to see submissions would be through the peer review option.  In scenarios where it's desirable for students to see each other's work, oftentimes a discussion will be used instead of assignments.  Using a discussion can drastically change the grading experience for the teacher though, so it may not be what you'd like.  You could potentially download the assignments as a zip file and put that file back into the course files area as well. 

Hope this helps a bit!

Hi @rob_terry ,

I think that the different solutions will depend on what the purpose of students seeing each others work is.

If it is comment on and appraise, then the peer review option that @chriscas  mentioned.

I have found the graded discussions very useful if I'm wanting students to reflect and build upon each other's ideas. This also allows scope for graded group discussions. This also works best if the "Let students attach files to discussions" is enabled in course settings (possible under "more options").

The Speed Grader experience for discussions is slightly different but gives a consolidated view of all of a given student's contributions to the topic.

Hope this helps,

Gareth
