Moodle - How to submit an assignment

View the screencast or skip the video and read on:

A Moodle assignment activity may be used to describe the requirements of the assignment, give students a space to submit their work, and allow instructors to provide a grade and feedback. To find your assignments you can either browse the course for the assignment icon  or you can navigate to the Activities block on the right side of the course and click on Assignments to see a list of all assignments in the course. Note that this will only list assignments that use the Moodle assignment activity, so it will not include assignments that use other activity types (e.g., forum, wiki, etc.).

This list of assignments displays what unit the assignment is in, the assignment name, due date, submission status, and, if it has been graded, the assignment grade. To see the assignment description, click on the assignment name.

To submit your assignment, navigate to the assignment activity  and click the Add submission button.

You will either make a File submission, such as a Word document, or type text into the Online text submission area. The assignment description will usually indicate what is required, but file submissions are much more common. To upload a file, simply drag and drop the file into the File submission area. Alternatively, you can select the Add new file button, select Choose File, navigate to the file and select it, select the Open button, and select the Upload this file button.

If it's an online text submission enter the text into the Online text submission box.

Once you have finished either uploading a file or adding online text, select the Save changes button.

Depending on the assignment settings, you may be able to edit your submission. Note that selecting the Save changes button updates the date and time stamp for the submission, so only select this button if you are either making your original submission or are making changes to your submission. Select the Save changes button after an assignment's due date, whether or not you changed anything, will make the assignment appear late.
