| '''Assignments''' allow the teacher to grade various types of student submissions.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Types==
| | The assignment module allows teachers to collect work from students, review it and provide feedback including grades. The work a student submits is visible only to the teacher and not to other students. |
| Moodle supports plug-in assignment types.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Official types===
| | [[Image:Assignment example.jpg|frame|center]] |
| There are three official types:
| |
|
| |
|
| ;Upload
| | * [[Assignment settings]] |
| :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.
| | * [[Using Assignment]] |
| ;Online Text
| | * [[Assignment FAQ]] |
| :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.
| | * [[Upgrade tool]] |
| ;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.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Contrib modules===
| | Students can submit any digital content (files), including, for example, word-processed documents, spreadsheets, images, audio and video clips. Assignments don't necessarily have to consist of file uploads. Alternatively, teachers can ask students to type directly into a text field in Moodle. Or they can ask student to do both, upload a file or files and type text directly into Moodle. An assignment activity can also be set up to not accept any student submissions and serve as a reminder to students of a 'real-world' assignment they need to complete and to record grades in Moodle for activities that don't have an online component. |
| These assignment types have been contributed by users:

| | An assignment has an 'available from' date before which no students can submit anything, and a due date, after which teachers can choose not to accept submissions any more. |
| :One user uploads the file but all the members of his or her group "benefit" from the submission.

| |
| == Assignment - Read Only Personal Report Access for Students ==
| |
| * Use to provide access to secure personalised student information such as reports. (Needs to be moved to a seperate page - How ??)
| |
| * Using "Upload a single file" Assignment to provide individual report access for students:
| |
| * Create report files commencing with the moodle user code (easier to create correct "batch" command file with code at start of filename)
| |
| * Create pdf files from all reports (pdf's with the right security settings reduce the likelihood of tampering with final reports cf. other editable files)
| |
| * Open moodle database table mdl_user and copy the fields id and username to a spreadsheet file for manipulation e.g.
| |
| ** 2 admin
| |
| ** 3 tsp80902
| |
| ** 4 che
| |
| * Use a spreadsheet formula to construct the correct command lines to create a folder with the moodle id and move the file starting with the matching username into the new folder:
| |
| ** e.g. for Excel in a Windows environment use : ="mkdir"&A2&"CarraigeReturn"&"move "&B2&"_2006_MidSem2.pdf "&A2
| |
| ** mkdir2CarraigeReturnmove admin_2006_MidSem2.pdf 2
| |
| ** mkdir3CarraigeReturnmove tsp80902_2006_MidSem2.pdf 3
| |
| ** mkdir4CarraigeReturnmove che_2006_MidSem2.pdf 4
| |
| * Use an editor to replace the "CarraigeReturn" marker with a real carraige return, and insert a space after the "mkdir" command:
| |
| ** mkdir 2
| |
| ** move admin_2006_MidSem2.pdf 2
| |
| ** mkdir 3
| |
| ** move tsp80902_2006_MidSem2.pdf 3
| |
| ** mkdir 4
| |
| ** move che_2006_MidSem2.pdf 4
| |
| * Go to the course where you want to add the documents and note the course id from the URL displayed in the browser:
| |
| ** e.g. http://infonet.cheltsec.vic.edu.au/course/view.php?id=5
| |
| * Create an "Upload a single file" Assignment in moodle
| |
| * Upload an marker file for yourself as a test.
| |
| * Update the assignment witht the "available" and "due" dates in the past (so students cannot upload their own amended report !) and check the "Prevent Late Submissions" box.
| |
| * Use a file explorer to go to the moodledata folder and look for this course, then open moddate (module data) and open the last assignment. You should see a folder created with your id that should contain the marker file that you uploaded.
| |
| * Paste all the files that you want to allow studenst to access in the assignment folder:
| |
| ** e.g. \\infonet\c$\Webstore\moodledata\5\moddata\assignment\112
| |
| * Paste the batch file in the dame folder
| |
| * Add a line at the start of the batch file to make it start in the correct physical network folder when it starts making new folders: e.g.
| |
| ** net use /d R:
| |
| ** net use R: \\infonet\c$\Webstore\moodledata\5\moddata\assignment\125
| |
| ** cd /d R:\
| |
| * the final batch command file should look like:
| |
| ** net use /d R:
| |
| ** net use R: \\infonet\c$\Webstore\moodledata\5\moddata\assignment\125
| |
| ** cd /d R:\
| |
| ** mkdir 9
| |
| ** move bou0010_2006_MidSem2.pdf 9
| |
| ** mkdir 10
| |
| ** move wol0002_2006_MidSem2.pdf 10
| |
| ** mkdir 11
| |
| ** etc.....
| |
| * Run the batch file, and the folders will be created as if the students had uploaded their own reports themselves.
| |
| * Open moodle database table mdl_assignment_submissions and copy the database record of your marker file as a template.
| |
| ** e.g id=11823; assignment=125 userid = 6; timecreated = 1157503128 ; timemodified = 1157503128 ; numfiles=1 data1=(blank) data2=(blank) grade=-1 comment=(blank) format=0; teacher=0; timemarked=0; mailed=0
| |
| * Paste the record into a spreadsheet and then paste the list of moodle id's under the userid field; increment the mdl_assignmnet id by one for every user; fill down the same assignment number and all other fields: e.g.
| |
| ** 11823 125 6 1157503128 1157503128 1 -1 0 0 0 0
| |
| ** 11824 125 2 1157503128 1157503128 1 -1 0 0 0 0
| |
| ** 11825 125 3 1157503128 1157503128 1 -1 0 0 0 0
| |
| ** 11826 125 4 1157503128 1157503128 1 -1 0 0 0 0
| |
| ** 11827 125 5 1157503128 1157503128 1 -1 0 0 0 0
| |
| ** 11828 125 6 1157503128 1157503128 1 -1 0 0 0 0
| |
| * These records ensure that the database "knows" that there are documents already submitted into the assignment so that students can read but not change the document.
