then

The assignment activity module allows teachers to collect work from students, review it

and provide feedback including grades.

Students can submit any digital content (files), including, for example, word-processed

documents, spreadsheets, images, audio and video clips. Assignments don't necessarily have

to consist of file uploads. Alternatively, teachers can ask students to type directly into

Moodle using an online text assignment. There is also an offline activity assignment which

can be used to remind students of 'real-world' assignments they need to complete and to

record grades in Moodle for activities that don't have an online component.

Assignment Types

There are 4 types of assignments:

Upload a single file This could be a Word document, spreadsheet or anything in digital

format. Multiple files may be zipped and then submitted. After students upload their files,

the teacher will be able to open the submission and use the Moodle interface to assign a

grade and offer comments as feedback. A student may submit a file as many times as they

like up until the deadline. Only the latest file is retained, and this is the one the lecturer

marks.

allowing students to type a message alongside their submission & returning a file as
