I am trying to allow teachers to blog at our school using drupal rather than moodle. Moodle is overkill for our needs (far too complex for both the teachers and students), and personally I think it is probably going to reach the end of its product-life in the next couple of years anyway, as newer technology supersedes it.

However, one thing moodle is really strong at is managing student uploads and assignments submissions.

You might suggest email as the best solution for collecting work, but 1) we don't like the idea of teachers having private email conversations with students, 2) most students and teachers don't have/use email anyway, 3) our web server couldn't handle hundreds of email accounts anyway.

IMCE is another candidate but, like moodle, it's too complicated. Plus it is awkward for the teacher to use in order to collate and download the submissions.

So with the 'comment upload' module, if a teacher creates a blog post outlining an assignment, and instructs: 'upload your work here', will the students in the class be able to post comments saying 'here is mine', and attach an office document? If so, I have some questions:

· Where will the attachments appear? In the normal 'attachments list' under the node? Or in the comment?
· Is there a way to stop students downloading the other students' attachments?
· Can the teacher download the attachments and then delete them from the list?
· Can a student delete and resubmit an attachment?

Thanks.
