We need an assignment type that has no file upload attached to it. We want the student to have a single paragraph of text (a response to a reading) that they must submit with no possibility of upload a file. It could be a modification of the current File assignment but with the file upload turned off.

Adam Sentz Official comment Essay type assignments went live last night. Read about the big LMS update on the blog.

Adam Sentz @Dean - We've been talking about adding this for a while. A lot of file type assignments could be replaced with this. In the meantime you might be able to get away with a single-essay-question test in some cases.

Permanently deleted user We thought of the single-essay-question test option, but calling it a test will confuse some. :)

Kirk Bagby Many of the teachers at my school use a "single-essay-question test" assignment for many (sometimes most) of their assignments; however, this is laborious for teachers to created these "single-essay-question test" assignments, and it has confused some of our students.
It would be very nice for us if Populi had an "Essay" type assignment which consisted of just one question which is answered with a written paragraph (such as Dean has suggested). (Before switching to Populi, my school used NEO LMS, and NEO LMS has an "Essay" assignment type.)

Adam Sentz @Kirk - This is already in development and will be included in our next LMS update in the coming months.
