Your lecturer can set up a Moodle Assignment with a time limit. If an assignment is timed, a Begin assignment button will display when you open the Assignment activity. Once you press the button, a confirmation pop-up will display to inform you how much time you have to complete the Assignment. If you are ready to complete the Assignment, select the Begin assignment button from the pop-up. If you are not ready to complete the Assignment, select the Cancel button on the pop-up. You must return prior to the Assignment Due date to complete the activity within the time limit set.
As you work on the assignment, a timer is displayed on the screen so you always know how much time you have left. If time runs out, you can still submit the assignment as long as the Due date/cut off date has not been reached and your Assignment will display as late for markers.
