Additionally, not all assignments in a course are going to require the same file type submissions, so teachers would still have to verify or modify the settings when creating new Assignment activities. In my eyes, for the moment, the benefit of saving time when creating the dropbox for "Essay 2" does not yet outweigh the clutter it woudl create in the Edit Course screen. If a particular institution has particularly tight COEs and want to be annoying, they could change it at the site level, yet teachers who want to provide their own list can still do so at the activity level using the "Other" field.I'm not yet convinced about the course-level override, because this would require an additional "Assignments in this course" settings group somewhere in the course edit page, creating additional clutter on an already very long and difficult to use form.

Google Docs?).Was a witness (and involved in 'solving an issue') to an event which ended up (in the middle of a semester) costing an ISD thousands of $ more for a video conferencing/duel credit course offered by a local junior college. Students will naturally, like all of us would (should), look for a free alternative (missing from the list. Wonder how many students decide NOT to take a course because of that added cost (if they knew about it in advance). Word 2011 Can Open Odt File Upgrade To OfficeProf wouldn't 'save as'!!! 'tightly controlled COE's' days are numbered. More $.And why did that happen. Had a domino affect in that the computers students were using also had to get an upgrade.
