Assignment Activities The Assignment activity allows teachers to collect work from students, review it, grade it, and provide feedback. Using assignment, students can submit any electronic files (e.g., Word-processed documents, spreadsheets, images, audio, video clips) or type their and provide feedback. Using assignment, students can submit any electronic files (e.g., Word-processed documents, spreadsheets, images, audio, video clips) or type their response directly into Moodle. Student work is visible only to the teacher unless a group assignment is selected. If you are migrating from another Learning Management System, the Assignment activity is comparable to the Dropbox or Homework functionality. In this lesson, you will learn the various features of the Assignment activity and how to set it up. General Assignment Name: The name of the assignment that will be displayed in the course listing. Description: A paragraph or more of text describing the activity and informing the student what they are to submit. This will be displayed to the student when they view the assignment. Display description on course front page: If checked the description will show on the course front page. Assignment settings Allow submissions from: The date and time that this assignment is displayed to the student, which is also when they can first submit the assignment. If disabled, students can submit an assignment at anytime. Due Date: This is when the assignment is due. Submissions will still be allowed after this date but any assignments submitted after this date are marked as late. To prevent submissions after a certain date - set the assignment cut off date. Cut-off date: If set, the assignment will not accept submissions after this date without an extension. Always show description: If set to No, the assignment description will not display to students until after the allow submission date. Require students click submit button: Set to Yes to require students to click a Submit button in order for it to be submitted for grading. The status of the assignment will be “Draft (not submitted)” in the activity grader. Once a student clicks the Submit Assignment button the status will change to “Submitted for grading” and they will Assignment button the status will change to “Submitted for grading” and they will no longer be able to edit it. Use this setting for multiple attachments. If you do not require a Submit button and then decide to use it later, any activities submitted before you changed the setting will be marked as final. Require students accept the submission statement: If enabled, students must accept a submission statement for all submissions to the assignment. The text of the submission statement is set by the site administrator. Notify graders about submissions: If set to Yes, instructors will receive a notification when assignments are submitted. Notify graders about late submissions: If set to Yes, instructors will receive a notification when an assignment is submitted past the due date. Students submit in groups: If set to yes, students can collaborate on an assignment. If no groups have been created prior to using this setting, then Moodle will create a separate default group of each student in the course. For example, if you have 30 students, then you will end up with 30 default groups. To avoid this, set up groups before enabling this setting. Require all group members submit: This setting is only available when requiring students to click the Submit button (i.e., the "Require students click submit button" is set to Yes). The assignment will not be considered submitted until all group members have made a contribution. Group members will be able to see who in their group has submitted or still needs to submit. Grouping for student groups: If a particular grouping is chosen, then the gradebook will display the group names from the chosen grouping but will put all other groups and students into a default group. If None is selected, then the gradebook will display the names of all groups and will put any non-grouped students in the "default group." Blind marking: Set this option to Yes to not be able to see the names of students who have turned in an assignment. When the assignment is graded, however, turn on the option to see who submitted by enabling "Reveal student identities" in the Assignment settings. This option will only become available once all student assignments have been graded. Set this option BEFORE students submit an assignment and any grading is complete as changes cannot be made later. Submission settings Online text: If enabled, then the student is able to type a text submission into the HTML box. File submissions: If enabled students are able to submit one or more file. Maximum number of uploaded files: If file submissions are enabled, then students are able to submit files up to the number specified. Maximum submission size: The size a file can be up to. Submission comments: If enabled, students can leave comments on their own submission. Feedback settings Feedback settings Feedback comments: If set to Yes, the instructor can leave comments on each students submission. Feedback files: If set to Yes, instructors are able to upload files for students. These maybe student files with marking for feedback or review. Offline grading worksheet: When enabled, the instructor can download, and then upload, a worksheet with student grades when marking the assignment. This feature is not available when using advanced grading methods. Grade Grade: The maximum grade value for this activity that a student can receive. Grading method: (Optional) The advanced grading method associated with the assignment. Grade Category: Setting this will group this activity's grade in the grade book with other activities in the same category, allowing for category calculations. Outcomes Select outcomes: Choose the outcomes that are to be associated with the assignment content. The site administrator must set up outcomes at the site level and the outcomes must be included in the course settings to be used in activities. 1.1.2.
