Assessment Uploaded/Submitted Notifications & Add Upload to Contact Documents
R
Robert Carter
I've gone through automations and there's no way that we see to have a notification send to our team when someone submits an uploadable assignment. I'm using fillable PDFs to gather information in their welcome module to then have their trainer work with them on strengths and weaknesses and come up with individualized training paths (that go beyond the content in the course).
However, right now we have to go in and check multiple times a day because there's no notice going out when it is submitted if it's listed as ungraded (because we don't want to halt them from moving on in the course material).
Whether this was in automations or specifically in the assignment area, it's a setting that is really needed. With options to send to assigned user and other users as well (because multiple people may need to get notified on some assignments).
Additionally, when someone uploads a document/file as part of the assignment, it should be added into their documents accessible through the contact so we don't have to hunt for them in Course Analytics. You could even have that as part of the "Received" area, with a tab for "Courses" (or whatever you want to call it) and then sub-tabs from there with course names they have (or have had) access to (if that's too much then just put all courses in there and the numbers will be 0 for files and we can sort it out that way).

I agree. I use the assessment area to release the First Module of the actual training. I have my students upload their signed training agreement (that they signed from Dropbox Sign) into the assessment upload area. I need the notification via email or other so that I know to go and look and mark the assignment as passed so they can continue. I need to mark it, so that I can verify they uploaded the correct SIGNED document.
I also need notifications when someone completes a quiz or answer questions in the comments section. My students come in at all different times and checking multiple times each day is not an option. Even a tag that triggers an automation might work.
And I also think all of these things need to show up in the contact area of the person submitting them. This helps us track when homework needs to be marked (or shows us the assignments are completed.)
I just did a test of quiz and it doesn't seem to track who completed it, so that is not good either. But the assessment item is the most pressing for me and my team at this point.

I agree. We also use fillable PDFs to gather student information. It would be great to receive a notification each time a student uploads an assignment document or completes a quiz. Also agree with better organization of uploaded documents/results without having to search in analytics.
It would also be important to notify us when a student adds a comment.

Absolutely needed! If we're offering courses that can be graded, we should know when it's time to grade without having to manually go in and check
