About In person Moodle Assignment and settings for exams

This guide provides an overview of settings that are useful to set or avoid when using a Moodle Assignment activity for an in person summative exam. The Moodle Assignment activity is a good submission type when you require students to type long form answers and require a similarity report to be produced.

In Moodle 4, you can set a time limit. Timed assignments have a fixed assessment window, with the indicative length being timed from the point at which the assignment is started. If a student submits the assignment before the due date but exceeds the time limit set, you can only review this when you select the Grade button to provide grades and feedback to students.
