Started and Submitted
When a student has submitted an assignment, it will appear as Submitted in the submission log. The document can be viewed and assessed at 'Submissions' within Assignments.
Submitted: The student has successfully submitted a file. In this case, you should be able to see the student's file in the submissions (unless it has been deleted).
Another status that can be seen in the Submission Log is: Started.
Started: The student has tried to submit a file. However, the file transfer was NOT completed (for whatever reason, e.g. a network error or a student accidentally closed the window before submitting).
So, Started will also be displayed in the Submission Log if a student uploaded a file and subsequently clicked on cancel or closed the webpage. Unfortunately, the file that was supposed to be uploaded can not be retrieved.
Note: the status Started does not necessarily indicate the validity of a submission for a specific assignment.
Usually the 'event' started doesn't give you other information than the 'event' submitted. When the upload of a file is successful, the started and submitted events have the exact same date and time.
