'''Assignments''' allow the teacher to grade various types of student submissions. There are four standard assignment types.
The assignment module gives you, as the teacher, an easy way to allow students to upload any digital content for grading. You can ask them to submit essays, spreadsheets, presentations, photographs, or small audio or video clips. Anything they can store on their hard drives can be submitted in response to an assignment.


==Upload a single file==
Assignments don't necessarily have to consist of file uploads. You can create [[Offline activity assignment|offline assignments]] to remind students of real-world assignments they need to complete. Currently, these "offline" assignments are used to record grades online for activities that don't have an online component. Alternatively, you can ask students to add/edit [[Online text assignment|a text online]].
A student can upload a single file. This could be a Word document, spreadsheet or anything digital. Multiple files could be zipped and then submitted.
 
==Online text==
This assignment type asks users to edit a text, using the normal editing tools. Teachers can grade them online, and even add inline comments or changes.
 
==Offline assignment==
This is useful when the assignment is performed outside of Moodle. It could be something elsewhere on the web or face-to-face. Students can see a description of the assignment, but can't upload files or anything. Grading works normally, and students will get notifications of their grades.
 
==Advanced uploading of files==
{{Moodle 1.7}}
This type of assignment allows each participant to upload one or more files in any format. These might be Word processed documents, images, a zipped web site, or anything you ask them to submit. This type also allows you to upload multiple response files. Response files can be also uploaded before submission which can be used to give each participant different file to work with. Participants may also enter notes describing the submitted files, progress status or any other text information. Submission of this type of assignment must be manually finalized by the participant. You can review the current status at any time, unfinished assignments are marked as Draft. You can revert any ungraded assignment back to draft status.
