Custom submission confirmation dialogue
It would be nice if you could add for instance a custom yes/no popup that the students have to answer when they press submit, in addition to the generic "did you really make this" question.
This could serve as a lightweight replacement for auto-rejecting (issue #18), simply asking "Did you run the submission through our test-system?" would probably catch most offending submissions.
Another application is the databases courses where students should submit after demonstating their solution in a lab session. Every year a few people miss this and submit directly, a question asking "Did you demonstrate this solution in a lab session?" would get around that.
Also, it would be nice if you could add submission instructions to the tasks, so when the students accessed the submission page for a task you could inform them of stuff like this.
I am not against the idea, but I think it will not be too successful :-) I can imagine students remembering to run the test the first time they see the warning, and then just automatically select "Yes" without doing anything.
I was thinking about partially addressing it with
#76.
