quizzes need to be assignable to groups
This is fundamental to group active learning. A group of students should be able to open a quiz assigned to them as a group, work on it together, submit it, and then have the grade be assigned to all members of a group. The labor involved in having to assign the quiz grade, when one group member submits it, to all the other group members is large (we have 720 students working in groups of 4).
Written Response questions need .* wild card auto grade option.
Written Response questions should have .* wild card auto grade option like short answer questions so. We are teaching 720 students this semester. Autograding all question types is critical. Also, it should able to be autograded for full credit if a file is attached.
Adaptive release rules are needed
We should be able to post content and release it to students with (e.g.) group/section parameter AND a time parameter. We teach multiple sections and release different versions of assignments to different sections. These assignments are only open during their section times. Blackboard has adaptive release rules that enable this. BS does not have these and multiple versions need to be posted, which clogs up the content folder in the Instructors' view and is an error prone process.

Re: How to download or have the path of the files uploaded in an task?
Hi Matias,
Here are some of the APIs that can help you retrieve student-uploaded submissions.
Note: You would need parameters like (OrgunitId,FolderId, UserId, FileId etc)
Hopefully this helps
