I have a question for you... is there any other difference between "Upload a Single File" and "Advanced Uploading of Files" other than the fact that the Advanced option allows more than one file?
I've often wondered why they are not just called "Upload a Single File" and "Upload Multiple Files"... that would be simpler and more obvious to users, but is there something else going on that makes it more "Advanced" than just multiple files?
Keep up the great work.

THanks for the first comment on this flashy new channel :-)
Yes, the single file upload is just that - single file. The subsequent file gets replaced but you must 'Allow resubmit' in assignment settings. Feedback stays on no matter what file you upload, unless you manually delete it.
This is a great thing if you have kids working on one, single document and they upload say brainstorm, draft, final product. You can comment on all of them without assigning the grade but you don't need to clutter things.
Advanced uploading is... yes, multiple files (from memory, I think it's up to 20). This is great for tasks where you eg WANT to see drafts and revisions together with the final product or you have multiple items in your task (eg image, ppt, clip, word processing doc all parts of one project).
"Advanced uploading" in Assignment is also super handy and super easy as a quick repository of kids' "stuff", instead of fiddling around with database, Mahara, File Manager etc
Check this post by Mary Cooch - she tells it better than me

Hope this helps. Cheers.
