Adding an Assignment to Your Course
Activities are interactive tools used to engage students in learning and assess their progress.
Moodle includes forums, assignments, and quizzes, along with collaborative activities such as wikis, glossaries, and databases. Other activities facilitate taking attendance and group self-selection to help manage your course.
Activities appear on your course page as a link proceeded by an icon indicating the activity type. The activity settings let you control conditions for submitting, grading, and assignment to groups. Activities can be graded, added, moved, hidden, and edited.
The ones we are going to go through will be Assignments, Turnitin, Glossary, Quiz, Group Self Selection.
4. Submission Types

Submission types
With Online text, students can enter text directly into an
editor. If File submissions are enabled, students can
upload one or more files. I am not a fan on Online text as it is difficult to mark on line.
Note: To create an offline assignment where students will submit or
perform work outside Moodle, leave both Online text and File
submissions unchecked. You can still provide a description, set due
dates and have the activity show in the course Calendar and Gradebook.
·
Maximum number of uploaded files
If file submissions are enabled, each student will be able to upload up to the
set number of files for their submission.
·
Maximum submission size
If file submissions are enabled, each upload cannot exceed this file size per
upload. (If a student can upload multiple files, and uploads files at different
times, the total can exceed the set size.)
·
Accepted file types
To limit submissions to specific file types, select Choose. A
pop up window will open with file type options. Select the file types for which
submissions you would like to enable by clicking the radio button next to each option.
Select Save changes. Personally I only
allow .pdf files, as they can be marked online without needing to be downloaded.
