split Due date in workshop module between Due date and cut-off date

Hi all,

I am wondering whether it is possible to split the current Due date in the workshop module (which also currently works as a cut-off date) between a Due date and cut-off date. 

I am asking this because I use the workshop a lot, and many student miss the due date so I have to keep reprograming the due date to allow them to submit. If I had a separate due date and a cut-off date, I could configure them 1 week apart (or just disable the cut-off date), so all late submissions would be accepted. I guess using the "Assignment" availability  setting would help. The "enable" check boxes besides the "due date" and "cut-off date" are also very useful, as mentioned above (although in the workshop module they do not make sense in the previous  actions in the submission phase).

As a bonus, in a similar fashion as in the "Assignment" availability  setting to recall the teacher to assess the submissions, a new setting in the workshop module to remind the teacher to switch phases could be added. Perhaps for both switches: between submission and assessment, and between assessment and marking.

Thank you very much 

Best
