5. Classroom workflow

Your teacher creates an assignment which is copied to every students in the class. The copies are generated as soon as the teacher clicks on assign and post the assignment to the stream section in classroom.
Once the student receives the assignment, the student becomes the owner of that copy. The student can edit the document and complete the work.
As soon as the student clicks turned in, the ownership is transferred back to the teacher. The student can view only the document. However, if the student click unsubmit the ownership is returned to the student.
When the teacher returns the assignment with or without feedback, the ownership reverts back to the student (see below).
