1 Requirements

The peer feedback functionality should be able to affect whether somebody has passed the respective excercise unit or not. This feature should be available for both the personalized and the anonymized peer feedback modes.

This creates several states of an excercise unit that has the peer feedback feature enabled:

[State 1] user has handed in a solution
[State 2] user has given some feedback
[State 3] user has give the required number of feedbacks

In order to give instructors more flexibility for implementing ILIAS peer feeedback in their courses, they might want to be able to set the "passed" status, when one of the following statuses has been reached:

State 1: this means that the peer feedback is optional
- user will be able to see received feedback in any case after the feedback deadline
State 2: giving at least one feedback is obligatory
- user will be able to see received feedback after the feedback deadline
State 3: the exact number of feedbacks to give is obligatory
- user will be able to see received feedback after the feedback deadline only if the preset number has been reached

This should be configurable in the peer feedback settings.

Solution 1: implement a checkbox "Obligatory" to be able to distinguish between States 1 + 2 and State 3
Solution 2: implement a set of radiobuttons

peer feedback is optional
at least one given peer feedback is obligatory
number of feedbacks is obligatory

3 Discussion

JL 05 Mar 2015: This feature request consists of 2 parts:

assignment setting: make the number of required feedbacks n "soft": the user is assigned to 1-n feedbacks but may see his/her received feedbacks even if he/she only gives 1 feedback (in other words: the peer feedback is valid for a user if 1 [out of n] feedback was given)
exercise setting: the exercise passed status - if "Completed by Submission" - can optionally require a valid peer feedback

Furthermore the "Submission & Grades" screen should indicate which user has a valid peer feedback (hard: n feedbacks given, soft: 1 feedback given). This will alllow tutors to manually set the passed status based on a valid submission and peer feedback. (A feature wiki entry Show Peer Feedback Fulfillment Degree of Exercise Participant exists but is empty.)

JL 27 Apr 2015: We decided to split the existing setting "Peer Feedbacks per Participant" into 3 settings:

Peer Feedbacks per Participant: this setting is no longer relevant for the access of received feedback. It just states how many peers a participant has to review
Access to Peer Feedbacks: will give access to received peer feedbacks after 1 or all needed reviews
Determination of "passed"-status: if "completion by submission" is active for the exercise, a 3rd setting will be available, which decides if peer feedback is relevant for the "passed"-status (of the assignment). Peer feedback is either not relevant (default), 1 is deemed enough to gain passed or all reviews are needed to pass the assignment.

JF 27 Apr 2015: We appreciate the feature as defined by Jörg in his comment above (27 Apr) and schedule it for 5.1. Matthias and Jörg will improve the naming of the options.
