Moodle Assignment enables students to submit coursework as a file upload or online text, and the lecturer can assess, grade and provide feedback on the coursework. Assignment activities can be set up for diagnostic, formative and summative assessments.
The Moodle Assignment activity is very flexible and students can submit their work:
While the flexibility of this activity makes it a great option to meet your assessment requirements, you need to get the assignment settings correct before any students submit their coursework.
To help you get the settings right we have organised the guide to provide step-by-step instructions on how to create Moodle Assignments to meet the most common assessment requirements. You do not need to read the whole guide, you can select the relevant assignment type from the navigation menu.
All assignment submission areas with deadlines should be clearly visible to students from the start date of the module. Assessment criteria should also be available to students from Moodle.
In Moodle 4, the deadline for Assignments display on the module page within the activity card.
Students are required to review and accept an Assignment Submission Statement prior to submitting their assignment.
The default file submission/upload size for a module is 400MB.
