Adding/Editing an Assignment

Submission settings allow you to determine how you would like your students to submit their assignment.

Note: You can now set up an assignment that allows both online text and file upload.

Online text

If set to Yes learners are able to compose and edit text on screen using the standard Moodle HTML Editor.

File submissions

File submissions allows learners to upload and edit one or more files to form their final submission.

Maximum number of uploaded files

If file submissions are enabled, this setting determines the maximum number of files which may be uploaded by each learner. As this figure is not displayed anywhere, it is suggested that it is mentioned in the assignment Description.

Maximum submission size

This setting specifies the maximum size per file of each of the files that the students can upload as part of their submission. This maximum upload size may only be equal to or less than the course limit (which in turn may only be equal to or less than the site limit). The maximum size of each file is displayed to students at the point where they upload files.

Submission comments

If enabled, students may leave comments into a text area associated with the assignment. Comments can be used for communication with the grading person, assignment progress description, to let students alert the marker about which file is the master file (in case of inter-linked files), or any other type of communication between student and marker.

Submission comments will appear in the grading table (click on the assignment activity, then click on the View/Grade all Submission button), in the Submission comments column. Submission comments allow two-way communication between the student and teacher.
