<div>{{Quiz}}<br />
This page explains how a quiz is accessed and used by students and teachers. It also offers some hints as to good practice in using the quiz module. <br />
<br />
==How students take a quiz==<br />
<br />
*Click on the quiz link on the course homepage and read the information to check you're in the right quiz.<br />
*Click on "Attempt quiz now" button.<br />
*Click on the "Next" button at the bottom of the page to see the next page of questions<br />
*Click on the "flag" in the box next to the question to put a temporary marker on it<br />
<br />
[[File:notyetanswered.png]]<br />
<br />
*Notice the Quiz navigation block. You can use it to jump to any question.<br />
<br />
[[File:quiz navigation.png]]<br />
**A flagged question is shown with a red triangle at the top right<br />
**Questions on the current page are shown with a thicker border<br />
**After viewing a description, it is shown with the bottom half grey <br />
**After saving an essay question, it is shown with the bottom half grey <br />
**A dependent question is shown in grey with a padlock icon <br />
<br />
*To finish the exam,click "Finish attempt" in the navigation block of "Next" on the last page of the exam.<br />
*The "Summary of attempt" page - reviews the questions and alerts you to questions not attempted.<br />
<br />
[[File:summaryofattempt.png]]<br />
<br />
*Click on any question page number or "Return to attempt" to go back to the quiz.<br />
*Click on "Submit all and finish" to have your quiz scored. A warning will pop up telling you you can no longer change your answers.<br />
<br />
===Autosave===<br />
<br />
If Moodle detects that the student's Internet connection has dropped, and the Quiz autosave feature is enabled, a warning message is displayed, prompting the student to make a note of recent responses.<br />
<br />
[[File:Quiz_disconnect.png|400px|Disconnection warning]]<br />
<br />
Quiz autosave is enabled by default, with the default time period set to 2 minutes. This autosave period can be changed, or the setting disabled completely, from ''Site administration>Plugins>Activity modules>Quiz>Autosave period''.<br />
<br />
===How students review a quiz===<br />
*In the quiz navigation block<br />
** A correct answer is shown with the bottom half green with a white tick <br />
** A partially correct answer is shown with the bottom half orange with a white circle in it <br />
** A wrong answer is shown with the bottom half red <br />
** An essay question (requiring manual marking) is shown with the bottom half grey <br />
** A flagged question is shown with a red triangle at the top right<br />
<br />
[[File:quiz navigation review.png]]<br />
<br />
*In the questions themselves, correct answers will be in green with a check mark. Incorrect answers will be in red with a cross. will have a green check mark next to your correct answer<br />
<br />
*According to your teacher's settings, you might get general feedback, specific feedback on each question and/or overall feedback on your final score.<br />
<br />
*Although the quiz may have been split into multiple pages, the review will show all the questions on a single page to make it easier to navigate. You can chose to review the quiz with separate pages as it was when you took the quiz.<br />
<br />
===Results in a quiz using CBM (Certainty-based marking)===<br />
<br />
Quizzes using CBM provide detailed feedback relating to accuracy and certainty:<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:26CBM.png|400px|CBM feedback]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
For more information on how CBM works and how students may benefit from it, see [[Using certainty-based marking]]<br />
<br />
===Saving questions and returning later to a quiz===<br />
<br />
*If you answer a number of questions and then want to complete the quiz at a later time,click "Finish attempt".<br />
*When you return to continue the quiz, Moodle will remember which page you were on and allow you to continue from there, having saved your previous questions.<br />
<br />
===Retaking a quiz===<br />
<br />
If your teacher has allowed multiple attempts, when you click on the quiz again you will be informed how many attempts you have remaining along with your previous scores.<br />
<br />
==How teachers view a quiz==<br />
<br />
''Note: Once a quiz has been attempted, it is not possible to add or delete questions unless previous scores are removed.''<br />
<br />
*When attempts have been made on the quiz, the teacher can click the quiz name and access the reports by clicking the link "Attempts - (No. of attempts.<br />
<br />
*It is then possible to filter the reports according to preference:<br />
<br />
[[File:quizreport.png]]<br />
<br />
*A teacher may also access quiz results by clicking on the quiz name in the Navigation block. This opens up other links, enabling them to view by grade, by correct response, by statistics and by manually graded responses:<br />
<br />
[[File:quizresultsnav.png]]<br />
<br />
*Each individual question may be filtered in score order and individual student quiz responses may be viewed by clicking "Review attempt" next to their name.<br />
<br />
*''For more information on how quiz responses are reported, see [[Quiz reports]].''<br />
<br />
====Commenting on or regrading responses====<br />
<br />
*By clicking on the score of an individual question, a teacher may comment on it or override the grade:<br />
<br />
[[File:reviewresponse.png]]<br />
<br />
====Messaging students who haven't completed a quiz====<br />
*From the Administration block, click ''Reports>Course participation''<br />
*From the drop down, choose your quiz.<br />
*In ''Show only'', choose "Student" and in ''Actions'', choose "post"<br />
*In the list that appears, tick/check the boxes next to those you wish to message.<br />
*In the bottom dropdown ''With selected users'', choose "send message"<br />
<br />
[[File:quizemail.png]]<br />
<br />
==Timing==<br />
===Overriding quiz deadlines===<br />
A teacher can override a deadline for an individual or group from the quiz settings link (gear menu in the Boost theme or Lesson administration other themes.)<br />
<br />
In situations where two group overrides may apply to a single user, the most lenient date is used. For "Open the quiz" dates, this means the earliest possible date is used, for "Close the quiz" dates, this means that the latest possible date is used.<br />
<br />
Note also that if there exists a user override for a student, it will always take precedence over any group overrides.<br />
<br />
==Ideas for using Quiz==<br />
<br />
Quizzes may be used:<br />
#as unit or course exams<br />
#as mini-tests for reading assignments or at the end of a topic<br />
#as exam practice using questions from previous years' exams<br />
#to deliver immediate feedback for printed workbook activities<br />
#to provide feedback about performance<br />
#for self assessment<br />
#(with the use of the [[Question creator role]]) to allow students to generate their own quiz questions for a practice question bank.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Lesson}}<br />
This page outlines how students and teachers interact with Moodle lessons once they have been created. For details on how to set up and then organise a lesson, see [[Lesson settings]] and [[Building Lesson]]<br />
<br />
<br />
== What the student sees ==<br />
*A student clicking on a Lesson will see an introductory page with one or more buttons which they choose from to select the path they wish to take.<br />
*The display may vary according to how the teacher has set up the lesson in [[Lesson settings]]. For example; there may or may not be a list of pages down the side; there may or may not be an ongoing score.<br />
*Students progress through the lesson with either content pages (of information, which is not graded) or various types of question pages(which may be graded) When a question page is used, the following page gives the answer and feedback if offered:<br />
[[File:studentviewoflesson.png]]<br />
*The lesson is ended when the student has met the criteria set by the teacher. This could be answering a certain number of questions correctly, accessing a certain number of pages with content (text, audio or video) or following a certain navigational path. A final page appears where the student can check their score, if applicable, and return to the main course page.<br />
[[File:studentendoflesson.png]]<br />
<br />
Note: Since Moodle 2.8.3, If the gradebook is hidden from the student (via ''Course administration>Edit settings'') or if the lesson is a practice lesson, then the 'View grades' link will not be displayed.However, the score will still be displayed at the end of the lesson, unless it is a practice lesson:<br />
[[File:lessongradebookhidden.png|thumb|300px|center]]<br />
<br />
==What the teacher sees==<br />
*A teacher clicking on a lesson will see tabs at the top offering them the chance to preview, edit, view reports or grade essays in the lesson:<br />
[[File:teacherviewoflesson.png]]<br />
===Preview===<br />
*The lesson opens up in preview mode for the teacher. However, it will not show the score unless the teacher switches their role to a student.<br />
===Edit===<br />
*The Edit tab allows teachers to alter the lesson once it has been set up. There are two views - Collapsed and Expanded. See [[Building Lesson]] for more details on editing the lesson.<br />
<br />
===Reports===<br />
*The reports tab shows the performance of students taking the lesson. There is a general "Overview" and a "Detailed Statistics" tab.<br />
====Overview====<br />
[[File:lessonreportsoverview1.png]]<br />
<br />
By clicking on the specific attempt, the teacher can view the student's answers to specific questions. It is also possible to delete a student attempt by checking the attempt and using the pull down menu to change "Choose" to "Delete".<br />
<br />
*Below the "Overview" can also be seen general statistics: Average score, Average time, High score, Low score, High time, Low time.<br />
[[File:lessonreportstatistics.png]]<br />
<br />
====Detailed Statistics====<br />
More detailed reports on individual questions are available from this tab, as in the following screenshot:<br />
<br />
[[File:lessonreportsdetailed.png]]<br />
<br />
==Grading lessons==<br />
*Note that for a lesson to be graded, it must have at least one question where a student can receive a score and the lesson can not be a practice lesson. Grades are calculated when the student has completed a lesson. Grades are kept for every student attempt.<br />
===Overriding lesson deadlines===<br />
A teacher can override a deadline for an individual or group from the lesson settings link (gear menu in the [[Boost theme]] or Lesson administration other themes.)<br />
<br />
In situations where two group overrides may apply to a single user, the most lenient date is used. For "Available from" dates, this means the earliest possible date is used, for "Deadline" dates, this means that the latest possible date is used.<br />
<br />
Note also that if there exists a user override for a student, it will always take precedence over any group overrides.<br />
<br />
===Grading lesson essays===<br />
*If a lesson essay question has been included, the teacher can grade it from the Grade essays tab - #1 in the screenshot below - or from ''Lesson administration>Grade essays'' - #2 in the screenshot below:<br />
[[File:gradelessonessays.png]] <br />
<br />
*Completed essays are listed next to the students' names:<br />
[[File:gradelessonessays1.png]]<br />
<br />
*Ungraded essays are red in colour -#1 in the screenshot below:<br />
*When a teacher clicks on an essay and grades it, the colour changes to a yellow shade - #2 in the screenshot below:<br />
*When a teacher clicks 'Email graded essays' to notify the student, the colour changes to a green shade - #3 in the screenshot below:<br />
[[File:colourchangegradedessays.png|thumb|600px|center|Colour changes when grading essays]]<br />
<br />
==Understanding Flow control==<br />
*''Administration > Lesson administration > Edit settings > Flow control group''<br />
<br />
*Here are some examples to help you understand the Lesson flow control settings. Please note:<br />
*"Allow student review" setting applies to the review of a whole Lesson, whereas <br />
*"Provide option to try a question again" setting applies to the review of an individual question page. When the student does not select the correct answer, 'Provide option to try a question again" setting will display 2 buttons. One will direct the student back to the question and the other to continue.<br />
*"Maximum number of attempts" is designed to prevent a student from being stuck on "This page" where they continually put or select the wrong answer. It will override other settings, such as review or the option to try the question again. When exceeded, it will not allow a score to be recorded for that question.<br />
<br />
====Case 1 ====<br />
The teacher wants the student to be able to attempt any question no more than 3 times and be given the chance to answer the question again. The teacher wants the student to see the response attached to their answer. <br />
<br />
:Flow control settings<br />
::Allow student review '''Yes'''<br />
::Provide option to try a question again '''No'''<br />
::Maximum number of attempts '''3'''<br />
::Display default feedback '''No'''<br />
::Number of pages to show '''0'''<br />
::Slideshow '''No'''<br />
<br />
:Student selects wrong answer and will see:<br />
:: "Response for the wrong answer" (if any is shown)<br />
:: "Yes, I'd like to try again" button<br />
:: "Continue" button.<br />
<br />
:Student selects correct answer and will see:<br />
:: "Response for the correct answer" (if any is shown)<br />
:: "Continue" button<br />
<br />
====Case 2 ====<br />
The teacher wants to allow the student 3 attempts at all questions but not see any feedback except the site default feedback for wrong answers.<br />
*Flow control settings<br />
::Allow student review '''No'''<br />
::Provide option to try a question again '''Yes'''<br />
::Maximum number of attempts '''3'''<br />
::Display default feedback '''No''' <br />
::Number of pages to show '''0'''<br />
::Slideshow '''No'''<br />
<br />
*Student selects wrong answer and will see:<br />
::''Not quite. Would you like to try again?'' as text over the<br />
::"Yes, I'd like to try again" button<br />
::'"No, I just want to go on to the next question" button<br />
<br />
:''Note:'' If the wrong answer jump is set to "This page" and the number of attempts is under the maximum, then the student will return to the question, regardless if they select "No, I just want to go on". <br />
<br />
*Student selects correct answer and will see:<br />
:: "Your answer: {gives the student's answer)" <br />
:: Response attached to the correct answer (if any)<br />
<br />
==== Case 3 ====<br />
"Speed bump for speed clickers". Teacher only wants the student to get once chance to record an answer on any question. They will only see the response the teacher provides for any question, or the default feedback if no response has been set for the answer the student selected. <br />
<br />
*Flow control settings<br />
::Allow student review '''No'''<br />
::Provide option to try a question again '''No'''<br />
::Maximum number of attempts '''1''' <br />
::Display default feedback '''Yes'''<br />
::Number of pages to show '''0'''<br />
::Slideshow '''No'''<br />
<br />
*Student selects wrong answer and will see:<br />
:: "Response for the wrong answer" (if any is shown)<br />
:: "Yes, I'd like to try again" button<br />
:: "Continue" button.<br />
<br />
: ''Note:'' When teacher sets the Jump to "This page" for a wrong answer, they will return to the page but their score will not change.<br />
<br />
* Student<br />
::"Response for the correct answer" (if any is show)<br />
::"Continue" button<br />
<br />
==Ideas for using Lessons==<br />
*Because of its "branching" nature, the lesson module lends itself to a wide variety of activities, not all of which need to be graded. In addition to merely working through a list of question pages, here are some other suggestions:<br />
====Self-directed learning of a new topic====<br />
*Use the lesson to introduce a new topic. The learner starts out knowing nothing but can progress at his own pace, reviewing what he is not sure of and moving on when he feels ready. This can be much enhanced by...<br />
====Allow for different learning styles====<br />
*When using the lesson to introduce a new topic, offer pages that deliver the content in different ways, according to how the students prefer to learn. For example the button "do you prefer to read?" goes to a page of text; "do you prefer to watch a video?" goes to a screencast ; "do you prefer to listen to instructions?" -goes to a podcast and so on.<br />
====Role play simulations/Decision-making exercises====<br />
*Use the lesson to set up situations where the learner has to make a choice each time and the scenario changes according to their selection. This could be a medical emergency for example, deciding upon the correct treatment, or a customer relations exercise, learning how best to deal with an awkward client. In an educational establishment it could serve well in Humanities subjects considering moral/ethical issues.<br />
====Interactive fiction====<br />
*For younger (and not so younger!) students, the lesson can be used to create a "choose your own ending" type of story where the student reads a page (or even watches a video/listens to an audio file) and then decides upon the character's next move. Apart from the entertainment value of this, it could be used to help guide pre-teens to behave responsibly by taking decisions for a character who is in a potentially dangerous situation.<br />
====Differentiated revision guides====<br />
*Students can be taken to different sets of revision questions according to their answers, allowing them to progress from basic to intermediate to advanced according to their prior knowledge.<br />

<div>{{Assignment}}<br />
<br />
==What options are there for submitting work in Moodle?==<br />
The standard ways students can submit assignments are:<br />
* File submissions (students submit a file for assessment)<br />
* Online text (students can type their responses directly in Moodle)<br />
* Submission comments<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
# It is also possible to use the assignment module for grading an "offline assignment", ie, one where work is done outside of Moodle. This is done by simply unchecking the above three options.<br />
# If you're not sure which assignment type best suits your needs, look at the section below [[#Which submission type suits you best?]]<br />
<br />
==How do students submit their assignments?==<br />
The first page students will see when they click on the assignment activity link from the course page will display the assignment name, description and the submission status. The first time a student views the assignment it will look like this:<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:statuses.jpg|thumb|Student view of assignment]] <br />
|}<br />
The submission status section includes:<br />
*'''Submission status''' <br />
*'''Grading status'''<br />
*Due date<br />
*Time remaining<br />
*Last modified<br />
*Submission details<br />
<br />
As they progress through the assignment the Submission status and Grading status will update and the Last modified date will appear.<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:submission statuses graded.jpg|thumb|Example of submitted and graded assignment]] <br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the student uploaded a file which the teacher has annotated, this will be made available in the feedback section. The student can search through the document and filter specific comments.<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:26pdfstudentgraded.png|thumb|Student view of graded pdf file]]<br />
|[[File:26searchcomments.png|thumb|Searching and filtering comments in annotated pdf]]<br />
|}<br />
Submission statuses include:<br />
<br />
*Nothing submitted for this assignment<br />
*Draft (not submitted)<br />
*Submitted for grading<br />
<br />
Grading statuses include:<br />
<br />
*Not graded<br />
*Graded<br />
<br />
===File submission===<br />
To submit a file submission, students complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the file upload page.<br />
# Upload the relevant file into the submission. They are able to ‘drag and drop’ the file into the submission box.<br />
# Click ‘Save Changes’.<br />
<br />
There should now be a Last modified date and the file(s) uploaded will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.<br />
<br />
# If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.<br />
# Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’.<br />
<br />
Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:file upload.jpg|thumb|Student view when adding a submission]]<br />
|[[File:file uploaded.jpg|thumb|Student view once file is uploaded]]<br />
|[[File:submit button.jpg|thumb|Student view when submitting assignment]]<br />
|}<br />
Note: Depending on how the assignment is setup students may see '''both''' a file submission page and an online text editor.<br />
<br />
===Online text===<br />
To submit online text, students complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the online text editor page. <br />
# Type the relevant text into the [[Text_editor|text editor]], or paste from a previously written file.<br />
# Click ‘Save Changes’.<br />
<br />
There should now be a Last modified date and the first 100 characters entered will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.<br />
<br />
# If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.<br />
# Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’.<br />
<br />
Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:online text entered.jpg|thumb|Online text entered]]<br />
|[[File:submit button online text.jpg|thumb|Submitting assignment]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Submission comments===<br />
Depending on how the assignment has been setup, there may be a section where students can leave submission comments.<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:student comments.jpg|thumb|Student comments]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Grading and feedback==<br />
When students have submitted their assignments, they can be accessed by clicking on the assignment activity. This will bring up the Grading Summary page.<br />
<br />
The Grading Summary page displays a summary of the assignment, including; number of participants, number of drafts, number of submitted assignments, due date and time remaining.<br />
<br />
Clicking 'Grade' will take you to the first student in the list so you can start grading individually. Clicking 'View all submissions' will take you to the grading table where you see all students.<br />
<br />
The Grading Table contains columns of information about the student, the status of their submission, a link to grade their submission, a link to each submission and feedback comments and files (if enabled). <br />
<br />
===Filtering submissions===<br />
<br />
A dropdown menu accessed from the 'Options' section allows you to filter submissions so you can for example quickly see which students have not submitted yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:assignmentfilter.png]]<br />
<br />
===Allocating submissions to markers===<br />
If you need to divide submissions between you can apply Groups to the Assignment and let markers know which Group(s) to mark. Note that because Group membership is not itself anonymised, this may make anonymised submissions that bit less anonymous, though as long as the Groups aren't very small this should be acceptable.<br />
<br />
An alternative is to use Marking Allocation - this allows anyone with a Tutor role to allocate one marker to each submission. This works particularly well if marking is allocated by subject specialism.<br />
<br />
===Submission status===<br />
If you will be assigning grades to student work, you may want to take note of the submission status before you begin the marking process. If you have required students click the Submit button, you may find that some submissions are still marked as Draft (not submitted), meaning the student has either uploaded a file(s) or entered some text, but has not clicked ‘Submit assignment’. <br />
<br />
If it's after the due date and you are about to commencing marking that you use ‘Prevent submission changes’ to stop students from making changes to their assignment. You can do this one by one by using the icon in the Edit column.<br />
<br />
Or you can select two or more students by putting a tick in the select column and going to 'Lock submissions’ from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.<br />
<br />
Likewise you can also revert a student's submission to draft if they have uploaded the incorrect file. Instead of selecting ‘Prevent submission changes’ select ‘Revert the submission to draft’, or place ticks against selected students and choose 'Revert the submission to draft status' from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:submission statuses.jpg|thumb|Submission statuses]]<br />
|[[File:prevent submission changes dropdown.jpg|thumb|Prevent submission changes dropdown]]<br />
|[[File:lock submissions.jpg|thumb|Lock submissions]]<br />
|[[File:revert to draft.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft]]<br />
|[[File:revert submission to draft status.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft status]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the submission setting 'Attempts reopened' is set to 'Automatically until pass' and a submission is graded below the grade to pass, then then submission is automatically unlocked when the grade is saved. Similarly, if the submission setting 'Attempts reopened' is set to Manually, and a teacher selects 'Allow another attempt, then the submission is automatically unlocked. (Prior to 3.0.3, the submission need to be manually unlocked.)<br />
<br />
===Overriding assignment deadlines===<br />
{{New features}}<br />
A teacher can override a deadline for an individual or group from the assignment settings link (gear menu in the [[Boost theme]] or Assignment administration other themes.) See the screencast [https://youtu.be/5Ghe7rueIME Assignment overrides] for a demo.<br />
[[File:AssignmentOverridesBoost.png||thumb|center|600px]]<br />
<br />
When adding overrides for a group, it is possible to have one group override trump another. This is achieved by moving the override up/down on the group overrides page:<br />
[[File:AssignGroupOverrides.png|||center]]<br />
<br />
In this situation, a student in both groups (e.g. Frodo Baggins) will have the override from "The Council of Elrond" applied. By pressing the arrow icons on the right, the override for "The Fellowship" can be moved to the top of the list, and will have higher precedence.<br />
<br />
Note also that if there exists a user override for a student, it will always take precedence over any group overrides.<br />
===Granting extensions===<br />
If an assignment has a deadline, a teacher can grant individual or group assignment extensions by selecting the Edit link next to a particular student or group.<br />
<br />
#To grant an extension, open the assignment<br />
#Click on "View all submissions"<br />
#Locate the student who is to be allowed to submit after the "Cut-off date"To<br />
#Click on the adjacent "Edit" drop down menu and select "Grant extension"<br />
##[[File:grantextension0.png|thumb|center|600px]]<br />
#Set the extension date and time. The student's or group's name is also shown on this screen.<br />
##[[File:grantextension.png||thumb|center|600px]]<br />
#Click on "Save changes".<br />
<br />
===Quick grading===<br />
<br />
'''Quick grading''' allows you to enter numeric grades directly into the grading table, bypassing the more detailed grading interface. Please note:<br />
*if you want to give feedback, you need to use the more detailed Grade interface. <br />
*Quick grading is incompatible with advanced grading e.g. Rubrics, and is not recommended when there are multiple markers. <br />
*'''Submission comments''' are a two-way private conversation between a student and staff and are visible to students immediately i.e. markers use the grading interface to give feedback, not the submission comments.<br />
<br />
To access the Quick Grading interface, from the Grading Summary page click 'View all assignments'; the Grading Table displays. Scroll to bottom of the page to configure Options, and check the box for 'Quick grading'. While you're down there, you can also set the number of assignments to display per page, filter the assignments e.g. to see who has not submitted, unmarked assignments, etc.<br />
<br />
When you are ready to Quick Grade: <br />
<br />
#You can enter grades directly into the grading table. <br />
#Scroll to the bottom of the grading table and click 'Save all quick grading changes'<br />
#A confirmation displays.<br />
<br />
===Grading individual submissions===<br />
If you have enabled File Feedback in the [[Assignment settings]] and wish to upload either the marked student assignment, a completed text based feedback document or audio feedback, click on the green tick in the Grade column (or use the icon in the Edit column and select Grade).<br />
<br />
This brings you to the Student Grading Page where you can give grades, feedback comments and feedback files (if enabled in the [[Assignment settings]]). You can use drag and drop to upload feedback files.<br />
<br />

<br />
====Annotating submissions====<br />
<br />
If the student has uploaded a PDF, docx or odt file, or if you set 'Comment inline' for an online text submission, then their submission will be displayed on the grading screen, allowing you to annotate it (requires [http://www.ghostscript.com/ Ghostscript] for PDF and [[Universal Office Converter (unoconv)|unoconv]] for docx and odt files), using a variety of tools, stamps (if uploaded by the admin) and comments which may be saved to a comments bank. When the annotations are complete, clicking to save the changes will result in it being displayed to the student as part of their feedback. <br />
<br />
[[File:Annotatingsubmissions1.png|thumb|500px|center|Annotating a student's submission]]<br />
<br />
Comments may be added and then saved in a quick list for future use ''(1)'' Click the paper/magnifying glass icon to the right of the page selector to filter comments you have already added to the work''(2)'':<br />
*In the '''Search comments''' pop-up window, enter the term you would like to search for in the '''Filter comments...''' box. <br />
*Clicking on the comment will take you to the part of the paper where that comment has been added.<br />
<br />

|[[File:NFcommentsearch.png|thumb|400px|2. Accessing comments]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that comments display to students as the marker intends, do instruct students to download the annotated PDF rather than just previewing it. Preview sometimes displays comments in a way which obscures the original text.<br />
<br />
The review panel and / or the grading panel may be collapsed by clicking the icons at the bottom right of the screen.<br />
<br />
[[File:CollapseReviewPanel.png|center]]<br />
<br />
===Controlling when to notify students of graded work===<br />
<br />
====Notifying as you mark====<br />
<br />
If you need to notify individual students, one by one, as you mark, the '''Notify students''' checkbox is available when grading individual submissions. Choose Yes to notify the student immediately or No to grade without notifying the student. Assuming you are not hiding grades in the ways outlined below, then Moodle will send a notification.<br />
<br />
Note: How students receive Moodle notifications depends on your local default settings, and any changes students have made to those.<br />
<br />
[[File:notifystudents.png|center|thumb|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Keeping grades hidden until a release date====<br />
<br />
Or if you need to keep your grades and feedback hidden from students until marking is finalised, and then release them to all students at the same time, there are two alternatives. <br />
<br />
The first is to hide the item in the Gradebook. This way is best if there is only one marker and no exceptional circumstances (i.e. you don't need to keep any students' marks hidden). Use it as follows:<br />
#In your Moodle course '''Settings''', click on '''Grades'''; the Grades page displays.<br />
#Click '''View''', then '''Grader report'''; a grid of participants and gradeable items displays.<br />
#Find the column for the assignment ('''Grade item''') whose grades you wish to hide, and click its Eye/Hide icon; the Eye icon displays with a strikethrough which means the grades are hidden from students.<br />
#To reveal the grades to students, you can either:<br />
##Remind yourself to return here and click the Eye/Show icon again; when it displays without the strikethrough the grades will be shown to students. With this option you need to remember to change the setting at the time.<br />
##Or if you prefer to set a time for the grades to be automatically revealed, click on the Cog/Edit icon to display settings for that grade item, then click the '''Show more''' link to display extra settings. For '''Hidden until''' click its checkbox and configure its date. With this option you need to get your marking done on time (or remember to come in and change the date to give yourself more time).<br />
#To notify students that marks and feedback are available, use e.g. the Announcements forum.<br />
<br />
Note: If you use this approach do communicate with any colleagues and remember to reveal the grades ultimately, since if grades remain hidden they can confuse the final grade calculations.<br />
<br />
The alternative approach to releasing marks to all students at the same time is to enable '''Use marking workflow''' in the Assignment's settings. This way is best where there are multiple markers and/or exceptional circumstances causing you to withhold some marks. Use it as follows:<br />
#Set up your assignment with Marking Workflow enabled (avoid enabling it after marking has started).<br />
#When ready to release marks, click on a link to your Assignment and from its summary page click '''View all submissions'''; a page with the Grading Table displays.<br />
#Scroll down to Options and ensure '''Quick grading''' is enabled by clicking its checkbox; the page reloads with some extra options.<br />
#Also in Options, configure '''Assignments per page''' to display all your assignments, or as many as possible.<br />
#Scroll back up again and click the checkbox in the column heading '''Select'''; all records display selected (and you can deselect any individual records you may need to keep hidden).<br />
#From the '''With selected...''' menu choose '''Set marking workflow state''', then click '''Go''', and confirm if prompted; the Marking workflow state menu displays on a page.<br />
#From the '''Marking workflow state''' menu, choose '''Released'''.<br />
#To have Moodle send students a notification that grades and feedback are available, set '''Notify students''' to Yes.<br />
#Finally '''Save changes'''.<br />
<br />
(If you would like the Moodle Assignment to have a setting for releasing grades and feedback to students please vote for MDL-18722.)<br />
<br />
===Offline marking - downloading and uploading multiple grades and feedback files===<br />
<br />
If you don't have an internet connection or prefer to grade outside Moodle, you can do so (including with anonymous submissions).<br />
These easy stages explained below:<br />
#Download the submissions<br />
#Download the spreadsheet (grading worksheet) to record grades.<br />
#Grade and annotate (if applicable) the submitted work.<br />
#Upload the completed grading worksheet.<br />
#Upload the annotated submissions (if applicable).<br />
<br />
Note:You cannot upload marks and feedback to Moodle if you have enabled Rubrics or Marking Guides.<br />
<br />
====Before you start, enable the multiple file upload settings====<br />
Go to the settings of that assignment.<br />
For Feedback types, ensure that the Moodle Assignment settings, Feedback comments, Feedback files, and Offline grading worksheet are ticked. <br />
<br />
====Downloading student submissions====<br />
<br />
You can download a zip file containing all of the assignment submissions by selecting ‘Download all submissions’ from the 'Grading actions' menu at the top of the grading table, or in the settings menu. <br />
<br />
File submissions will be downloaded in the format uploaded by the student. Online text submissions will be downloaded as html files. Each file in the zip will be named with the student first and last name followed by a unique identifier (not the user ID number).<br />
<br />
If each submission is more than a single file, then submissions may be downloaded in folders by ticking the option 'Download submissions in folders' (below the grading table). Each submission is put in a separate folder, with the folder structure kept for any subfolders, and files are not renamed. Each folder will be named with the student first and last name followed by a unique identifier (not the user ID number).<br />
<br />
You can also download selected assignment submissions (rather than all of them) by selecting the ones you want and then choosing 'With selected....Download selected submissions'.<br />
<br />
====Download the Grading Worksheet to record grades ====<br />
#Next, to download the spreadsheet in which you'll enter the grades and brief comments, return to the Moodle Assignment page and from its Grading action drop-down menu choose Download grading worksheet and save that file (keep its csv file format).<br />
<br />
Note: Helpfully that downloaded worksheet will contain any existing grades and summary comments which have already been given for that assignment i.e. if marking has already started. However, to see pre-existing comments fully you may need to set your spreadsheet to 'wrap text' within cells.<br />
<br />
====Grade and annotate (if applicable) the submitted work====<br />
After downloading the submissions and the grading worksheet:<br />
#Open a downloaded assignment file to assess it. <br />
#Open the csv file in a spreadsheet editor e.g. Excel. <br />
#For that student's record (if anonymous, a number corresponding to the submission file name will display), enter grades in the Grade column and summary comments in the Feedback comments column for each student. <br />
#Leave the other data untouched unless you know exactly what you're doing.<br />
#Repeat as needed.<br />
#Save the csv file.<br />
<br />
Note: Take care to enter data in the correct column of the spreadsheet.<br />
<br />
If you are annotating the submissions to return to students as feedback:<br />
#Open a downloaded submission.<br />
#Carry out your annotations.<br />
#Save it in its original place i.e. the folder corresponding to that student.<br />
#Repeat as needed.<br />
If you have separate feedback files to upload to students:<br />
#Save these within that student's folder.<br />
#You can give students multiple feedback files in this way e.g. annotations on their work along with a separate pro forma.<br />
<br />
Note: Don't change the name or location of the folder - Moodle needs this information to allocate the files correctly.<br />
<br />
Compress (zip) all the feedback files:<br />
<br />
#Locate the folder containing the feedback files in Moodle, select them all (Ctrl+A within the folder), then zip them: <br />
##Windows: Right click one of the selected files and Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.<br />
##Mac: Right Click (or Ctrl+click) one of the selected files and click Compress.<br />
#They are now ready for upload (see below).<br />
<br />
====Upload the completed grading worksheet====<br />
When you are ready to upload grades and summary feedback:<br />
#Click on the assignment name on the Moodle course homepage to access the summary page and click '''View/grade all submissions'''.<br />
#From the Grading action drop-down menu choose '''Upload grading worksheet'''.<br />
#Click '''Choose a file...''' and upload the grading worksheet to Moodle, or drag the csv file to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#There is a checkbox to '''overwrite records that have been modified more recently in Moodle than in the spreadsheet''' - only check this if you want to spreadsheet to overwrite all Moodle records, including ones made more recently than the spreadsheet.<br />
#Click '''Upload grading worksheet'''; a Confirmation box displays the students grades and feedback that will be imported - check this carefully.<br />
#If you are ready to proceed, click '''Confirm'''; a summary of updates displays.<br />
#Click '''Continue'''.<br />
<br />
====Upload feedback files (if applicable)====<br />
#Click on the assignment name on the Moodle course homepage to access the summary page and click '''View/grade all submissions'''.<br />
#From the Grading action drop-down menu choose '''Upload multiple feedback files in a zip'''.<br />
#Click '''Choose a file...''' and upload the zipped assignments file to Moodle, or drag the compressed/zipped file to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#Click '''Import feedback file(s)'''.<br />
#The Confirmation box will list all the feedback files and student names that will be imported.<br />
#Click '''Confirm'''; the next screen summarises the changes.<br />
#Click '''Continue'''.<br />
#From the page containing the Grading Table, you can check your feedback files by enabling Quick grading (see Options at the bottom of that page) and scrolling horizontally, if needed.<br />
<br />
For an assignment with no file submissions, see the discussion [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=336438 upload feedback files without student file submissions] for details of what to do.<br />
<br />
===Give the same feedback file to multiple students===<br />
If you have high level feedback you want to give to an entire cohort, it is generally a good idea to give this feedback in the context of the assignment, rather than e.g. separately via a Forum. Moodle allows you to select some or all students and attach a single, common feedback file to their assignment feedback. This common feedback will appear to each student along with any other individual feedback files you have prepared for each. <br />
#Prepare the single file of feedback.<br />
#Click on the link to the Assignment; its summary page displays.<br />
#Click '''View all submissions'''; the assignment's Grading Table displays.<br />
#Use the checkboxes to select all or some students to receive the feedback (you may first prefer to configure the Grading Table to show as many students as possible on a single page).<br />
#Underneath the Grading Table click the '''With selected...''' menu, choose '''Send feedback files''', then click '''Go'''; a page displays a list of selected students above a file upload area.<br />
#Upload the file of feedback you prepapred, or drag it to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#Click '''Send feedback files'''; the Grading Table displays again.<br />
#Check your file is in place by scrolling horizontally to the '''Feedback files''' column.<br />
<br />
==Which type of assignment submission suits you best?==<br />
<br />
===You want students to type shorter or longer responses directly online===<br />
<br />
*Set ''Online text'' to Yes. This works well for younger children who will only manage a sentence or two and works just as well for higher education students who write more. <br />
**Advantage - quick for the student to get started; no need to use a word-processing program and upload the file. The text is saved on a regular basis so it will be preserved if the student loses the page for some reason.<br />
**Disadvantage: if the word count is expected to be large, setting ''Online text'' to No and ''File submission'' to Yes might be a better option.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit work you can download in a specified program===<br />
<br />
*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, set the number of files you will allow using the ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' setting and the file sizes by using the '' Maximum submission size'' setting.<br />
**Advantage - better than students emailing work as the whole class's work is collated in one space on your course. Markers can provide comments directly on the student work.<br />
**Advantage - with "Attempts reopened" enabled, teachers can see the progression through various drafts of a student's work.<br />
**Disadvantage - assignments must downloaded to be viewed (but they can be [[Assignment_FAQ| downloaded in bulk]]) and the teacher needs the appropriate program to open them.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit files at different times for a project===<br />
<br />
*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, and use ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' to set the maximum number of separate files they can upload<br />
**Advantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading so they get a single grade.<br />
**Disadvantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading - so they can only have a single grade!<br />
<br />
===You want students to write a response to a video/sound file/image===<br />
<br />
*Set up an assignment allowing ''online text'' submission and get students to use the Moodle media icon to add video/sound/image files. <br />
<br />
===You want students to answer a series of questions on a video/sound file/image===<br />
*Investigate the [[Quiz]] module. Assignments are really just for a single question.<br />
<br />
===You want to grade work students have done offline===<br />
*Uncheck the submission types when setting up the assignment. Students won't be required to do anything but you can use the assignment to grade them for work done outside of Moodle.<br />
<br />
===You want to view, comment on and send back students' assignments===<br />
<br />
*Set up an assignment allowing ''file submissions''.<br />
**Advantage: useful for teachers who like using the "comment" options in word-processing programs for example. If you have Ghostscript enabled on your server and the students upload PDF files, you can annotate them inline. See the section [[Using Assignment#Annotating PDF files| Annotating PDF files]] below.<br />
**Disadvantage: if students upload other file types, you have to download them, comment and then re-upload them.<br />
<br />
===You want students to send you a comment or note along with their uploaded work===<br />
<br />
*Although previous versions of Moodle allowed the ''Submission comments'' submission plugin to be toggled, this is no longer the case. If [[Comments#Enabling_comments|comments are enabled site-wide]], students will be able to add submission comments; if comments are disabled site-wide, students will not be given the option to add submission comments.<br />
<br />
===You want to allow students to redraft and decide when to submit the work===<br />
<br />
*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to Yes. Students can then control when their draft work is submitted to the teacher. <br />
<br />
===You want students to keep an ongoing journal or do an iterative assignment===<br />
<br />
*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to No. Students can continue to make changes to their assignment and at no point do they 'submit'. If the work will be graded at some point it is recommended that either ''Prevent late submissions'' is set to Yes to ensure that no changes can be made after the due date, or [[Using_Assignment#Submission_status| all submissions are locked]] when grading commences to ensure that the work is not altered during grading.<br />
**Advantage: the work remains in one place and is constantly improved, graded (if needed) and improved again. <br />
**Disadvantage: there is no record/history of previous attempts (such as with the [[Wiki]]). The online text assignment does not replicate the display of a journal or blog where each new entry is additional to the previous ones.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit work in groups===<br />
<br />
*In the settings, set "Students submit in groups" to Yes. If you just do this, then once one student has submitted, the assignment will be flagged as submitted even if the others haven't contributed. If you want to ensure everyone has an input, set "Require students click submit button" to Yes and then change "Require all group members to submit" to Yes. The assignment will only be classed as submitted when each member has contributed, and once one student has submitted, the remaining members's names will be displayed for the group to see who still needs to add their input.<br />
<br />
===You want to grade students' work anonymously===<br />
*In the settings, choose "Blind marking". When students submit assignments, their names will be replaced by randomly-generated participant numbers so you will not know who is who. Note that this is not '''totally''' blind marking because you can reveal their identities in the assignment settings and you can work out identities from the logs - so this might not be suitable if your establishment has very precise privacy requirements.<br />
<br />
===You want to read and grade student assignments offline===<br />
*In the settings, choose "Offline grading worksheet". When students have submitted, click "View/grade all submissions" and you can download their assignments from the link "Download all submissions" and download the grading sheet from the link "Download grading worksheet". You can then edit grades and re-upload the grading worksheet. You can also upload multiple feedback files in a zip from this drop down menu. See [[Assignment settings]] for an explanation of how to use the "upload multiple feedback files as zip" feature.<br />
<br />
===You want to hide students' grades until a time of your choosing.===<br />
Use 'marking workflow' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]<br />
<br />
===You want to moderate other colleagues' marking or allocate certain teachers to certain students===<br />
Use 'marking allocation' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]<br />
<br />
==Keeping records (archiving, exporting, backing up)==<br />
When students unenrol from a Moodle area, their records become invisible through the Gradebook interface. In order to have the information to hand, departments or course teaching teams may need systems in place to keep their own records for the data retention period required in their particular context. There are two separate procedures for exporting student submissions and marks.<br />
<br />
To export marks (with or without feedback):<br />
#Go to your course administration block and click Grades.<br />
#From the Grader Report Settings block, select Export; a menu displays.<br />
#From the menu, if you need easy viewing and running calculations you probably want to select one of the spreadsheet formats; a page of export settings loads<br />
#Use the Visible Groups pulldown menu to limit the export to specific groups, as required<br />
#In Options, you indicate whether feedback comments are included<br />
#In Grade Items To Be Included lists you can, if required, omit particular Activities from the report<br />
#When you've finished with the settings, click on Submit; a preview of your export displays<br />
#Click on Download to export to the format you chose, and save the file.<br />
<br />
To download the original student submissions:<br />
#In your course area, click the link to the Assignment whose submissions you want to download.<br />
#Click on the link to View/Grade all submissions; the Grading Table will load.<br />
#Click the link to 'Download all submissions' and save the file.<br />
==Tips and Tricks==<br />
* Want to use an Assignment activity again in another Moodle site? Use the [[Activity_backup| backup and restore]] options. <br />
*Want to use an Assignment activity in another course you teach? Use the [[Import_course_data| Import function]] in the course administration block.<br />
*Moodle will sometimes appear not to be uploading a resubmitted assignment - you seem to be downloading the original assignment. This is a cache issue, in short, go to ''"Tools > Clear Recent History"'' in Firefox or ''"Tools > Delete Browsing History > Delete Temporary Files"'' in Windows Explorer. The newer file will then appear.<br />

==What options are there for submitting work in Moodle?==<br />
The standard ways students can submit assignments are:<br />
* File submissions (students submit a file for assessment)<br />
* Online text (students can type their responses directly in Moodle)<br />
* Submission comments<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
# It is also possible to use the assignment module for grading an "offline assignment", ie, one where work is done outside of Moodle. This is done by simply unchecking the above three options.<br />
# If you're not sure which assignment type best suits your needs, look at the section below [[#Which submission type suits you best?]]<br />
<br />
==How do students submit their assignments?==<br />
The first page students will see when they click on the assignment activity link from the course page will display the assignment name, description and the submission status. The first time a student views the assignment it will look like this:<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:statuses.jpg|thumb|Student view of assignment]] <br />
|}<br />
The submission status section includes:<br />
*'''Submission status''' <br />
*'''Grading status'''<br />
*Due date<br />
*Time remaining<br />
*Last modified<br />
*Submission details<br />
<br />
As they progress through the assignment the Submission status and Grading status will update and the Last modified date will appear.<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:submission statuses graded.jpg|thumb|Example of submitted and graded assignment]] <br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the student uploaded a file which the teacher has annotated, this will be made available in the feedback section. The student can search through the document and filter specific comments.<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:26pdfstudentgraded.png|thumb|Student view of graded pdf file]]<br />
|[[File:26searchcomments.png|thumb|Searching and filtering comments in annotated pdf]]<br />
|}<br />
Submission statuses include:<br />
<br />
*Nothing submitted for this assignment<br />
*Draft (not submitted)<br />
*Submitted for grading<br />
<br />
Grading statuses include:<br />
<br />
*Not graded<br />
*Graded<br />
<br />
===File submission===<br />
To submit a file submission, students complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the file upload page.<br />
# Upload the relevant file into the submission. They are able to ‘drag and drop’ the file into the submission box.<br />
# Click ‘Save Changes’.<br />
<br />
There should now be a Last modified date and the file(s) uploaded will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.<br />
<br />
# If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.<br />
# Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’.<br />
<br />
Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:file upload.jpg|thumb|Student view when adding a submission]]<br />
|[[File:file uploaded.jpg|thumb|Student view once file is uploaded]]<br />
|[[File:submit button.jpg|thumb|Student view when submitting assignment]]<br />
|}<br />
Note: Depending on how the assignment is setup students may see '''both''' a file submission page and an online text editor.<br />
<br />
===Online text===<br />
To submit online text, students complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the online text editor page. <br />
# Type the relevant text into the [[Text_editor|text editor]], or paste from a previously written file.<br />
# Click ‘Save Changes’.<br />
<br />
There should now be a Last modified date and the first 100 characters entered will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.<br />
<br />
# If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.<br />
# Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’.<br />
<br />
Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.<br />

<br />
===Submission comments===<br />
Depending on how the assignment has been setup, there may be a section where students can leave submission comments.<br />
{|<br />

<br />
==Grading and feedback==<br />
When students have submitted their assignments, they can be accessed by clicking on the assignment activity. This will bring up the Grading Summary page.<br />
<br />
The Grading Summary page displays a summary of the assignment, including; number of participants, number of drafts, number of submitted assignments, due date and time remaining.<br />
<br />
Clicking 'Grade' will take you to the first student in the list so you can start grading individually. Clicking 'View all submissions' will take you to the grading table where you see all students.<br />
<br />
The Grading Table contains columns of information about the student, the status of their submission, a link to grade their submission, a link to each submission and feedback comments and files (if enabled). <br />
<br />
===Filtering submissions===<br />
<br />
A dropdown menu accessed from the 'Options' section allows you to filter submissions so you can for example quickly see which students have not submitted yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:assignmentfilter.png]]<br />
<br />
===Allocating submissions to markers===<br />
If you need to divide submissions between you can apply Groups to the Assignment and let markers know which Group(s) to mark. Note that because Group membership is not itself anonymised, this may make anonymised submissions that bit less anonymous, though as long as the Groups aren't very small this should be acceptable.<br />
<br />
An alternative is to use Marking Allocation - this allows anyone with a Tutor role to allocate one marker to each submission. This works particularly well if marking is allocated by subject specialism.<br />
<br />
===Submission status===<br />
If you will be assigning grades to student work, you may want to take note of the submission status before you begin the marking process. If you have required students click the Submit button, you may find that some submissions are still marked as Draft (not submitted), meaning the student has either uploaded a file(s) or entered some text, but has not clicked ‘Submit assignment’. <br />
<br />
If it's after the due date and you are about to commencing marking that you use ‘Prevent submission changes’ to stop students from making changes to their assignment. You can do this one by one by using the icon in the Edit column.<br />
<br />
Or you can select two or more students by putting a tick in the select column and going to 'Lock submissions’ from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.<br />
<br />
Likewise you can also revert a student's submission to draft if they have uploaded the incorrect file. Instead of selecting ‘Prevent submission changes’ select ‘Revert the submission to draft’, or place ticks against selected students and choose 'Revert the submission to draft status' from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:submission statuses.jpg|thumb|Submission statuses]]<br />
|[[File:prevent submission changes dropdown.jpg|thumb|Prevent submission changes dropdown]]<br />

|[[File:revert to draft.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft]]<br />
|[[File:revert submission to draft status.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft status]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the submission setting 'Attempts reopened' is set to 'Automatically until pass' and a submission is graded below the grade to pass, then then submission is automatically unlocked when the grade is saved. Similarly, if the submission setting 'Attempts reopened' is set to Manually, and a teacher selects 'Allow another attempt, then the submission is automatically unlocked. (Prior to 3.0.3, the submission need to be manually unlocked.)<br />
<br />
===Overriding assignment deadlines===<br />
{{New features}}<br />
A teacher can override a deadline for an individual or group from the assignment settings link (gear menu in the [[Boost theme]] or Assignment administration other themes.) See the screencast [https://youtu.be/5Ghe7rueIME Assignment overrides] for a demo.<br />
[[File:AssignmentOverridesBoost.png||thumb|center|600px]]<br />
<br />
When adding overrides for a group, it is possible to have one group override trump another. This is achieved by moving the override up/down on the group overrides page:<br />
[[File:AssignGroupOverrides.png||thumb|center]]<br />
<br />
In this situation, a student in both groups (e.g. Frodo Baggins) will have the override from "The Council of Elrond" applied. By pressing the arrow icons on the right, the override for "The Fellowship" can be moved to the top of the list, and will have higher precedence.<br />
<br />
Note also that if there exists a user override for a student, it will always take precedence over any group overrides.<br />
===Granting extensions===<br />
If an assignment has a deadline, a teacher can grant individual or group assignment extensions by selecting the Edit link next to a particular student or group.<br />
<br />
#To grant an extension, open the assignment<br />
#Click on "View all submissions"<br />
#Locate the student who is to be allowed to submit after the "Cut-off date"To<br />
#Click on the adjacent "Edit" drop down menu and select "Grant extension"<br />
##[[File:grantextension0.png|thumb|center|600px]]<br />
#Set the extension date and time. The student's or group's name is also shown on this screen.<br />
##[[File:grantextension.png||thumb|center|600px]]<br />
#Click on "Save changes".<br />
<br />
===Quick grading===<br />
<br />
'''Quick grading''' allows you to enter numeric grades directly into the grading table, bypassing the more detailed grading interface. Please note:<br />
*if you want to give feedback, you need to use the more detailed Grade interface. <br />
*Quick grading is incompatible with advanced grading e.g. Rubrics, and is not recommended when there are multiple markers. <br />
*'''Submission comments''' are a two-way private conversation between a student and staff and are visible to students immediately i.e. markers use the grading interface to give feedback, not the submission comments.<br />
<br />
To access the Quick Grading interface, from the Grading Summary page click 'View all assignments'; the Grading Table displays. Scroll to bottom of the page to configure Options, and check the box for 'Quick grading'. While you're down there, you can also set the number of assignments to display per page, filter the assignments e.g. to see who has not submitted, unmarked assignments, etc.<br />
<br />
When you are ready to Quick Grade: <br />
<br />
#You can enter grades directly into the grading table. <br />
#Scroll to the bottom of the grading table and click 'Save all quick grading changes'<br />
#A confirmation displays.<br />
<br />
===Grading individual submissions===<br />
If you have enabled File Feedback in the [[Assignment settings]] and wish to upload either the marked student assignment, a completed text based feedback document or audio feedback, click on the green tick in the Grade column (or use the icon in the Edit column and select Grade).<br />
<br />
This brings you to the Student Grading Page where you can give grades, feedback comments and feedback files (if enabled in the [[Assignment settings]]). You can use drag and drop to upload feedback files.<br />
<br />
{|<br />

|[[File:feedbackfiles.png|thumb|Feedback files]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====Annotating submissions====<br />
<br />
If the student has uploaded a PDF, docx or odt file, or if you set 'Comment inline' for an online text submission, then their submission will be displayed on the grading screen, allowing you to annotate it (requires [http://www.ghostscript.com/ Ghostscript] for PDF and [[Universal Office Converter (unoconv)|unoconv]] for docx and odt files), using a variety of tools, stamps (if uploaded by the admin) and comments which may be saved to a comments bank. When the annotations are complete, clicking to save the changes will result in it being displayed to the student as part of their feedback. <br />
<br />
[[File:Annotatingsubmissions1.png|thumb|500px|center|Annotating a student's submission]]<br />
<br />
Comments may be added and then saved in a quick list for future use ''(1)'' Click the paper/magnifying glass icon to the right of the page selector to filter comments you have already added to the work''(2)'':<br />
*In the '''Search comments''' pop-up window, enter the term you would like to search for in the '''Filter comments...''' box. <br />
*Clicking on the comment will take you to the part of the paper where that comment has been added.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:NFaddcomment.png|thumb|400px|1.Saving and re-using comments]]<br />
|[[File:NFcommentsearch.png|thumb|400px|2. Accessing comments]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that comments display to students as the marker intends, do instruct students to download the annotated PDF rather than just previewing it. Preview sometimes displays comments in a way which obscures the original text.<br />
<br />
The review panel and / or the grading panel may be collapsed by clicking the icons at the bottom right of the screen.<br />
<br />
[[File:CollapseReviewPanel.png|center]]<br />
<br />
===Controlling when to notify students of graded work===<br />
<br />
====Notifying as you mark====<br />
<br />
If you need to notify individual students, one by one, as you mark, the '''Notify students''' checkbox is available when grading individual submissions. Choose Yes to notify the student immediately or No to grade without notifying the student. Assuming you are not hiding grades in the ways outlined below, then Moodle will send a notification.<br />
<br />
Note: How students receive Moodle notifications depends on your local default settings, and any changes students have made to those.<br />
<br />
[[File:notifystudents.png|center|thumb|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Keeping grades hidden until a release date====<br />
<br />
Or if you need to keep your grades and feedback hidden from students until marking is finalised, and then release them to all students at the same time, there are two alternatives. <br />
<br />
The first is to hide the item in the Gradebook. This way is best if there is only one marker and no exceptional circumstances (i.e. you don't need to keep any students' marks hidden). Use it as follows:<br />
#In your Moodle course '''Settings''', click on '''Grades'''; the Grades page displays.<br />
#Click '''View''', then '''Grader report'''; a grid of participants and gradeable items displays.<br />
#Find the column for the assignment ('''Grade item''') whose grades you wish to hide, and click its Eye/Hide icon; the Eye icon displays with a strikethrough which means the grades are hidden from students.<br />
#To reveal the grades to students, you can either:<br />
##Remind yourself to return here and click the Eye/Show icon again; when it displays without the strikethrough the grades will be shown to students. With this option you need to remember to change the setting at the time.<br />
##Or if you prefer to set a time for the grades to be automatically revealed, click on the Cog/Edit icon to display settings for that grade item, then click the '''Show more''' link to display extra settings. For '''Hidden until''' click its checkbox and configure its date. With this option you need to get your marking done on time (or remember to come in and change the date to give yourself more time).<br />
#To notify students that marks and feedback are available, use e.g. the Announcements forum.<br />
<br />
Note: If you use this approach do communicate with any colleagues and remember to reveal the grades ultimately, since if grades remain hidden they can confuse the final grade calculations.<br />
<br />
The alternative approach to releasing marks to all students at the same time is to enable '''Use marking workflow''' in the Assignment's settings. This way is best where there are multiple markers and/or exceptional circumstances causing you to withhold some marks. Use it as follows:<br />
#Set up your assignment with Marking Workflow enabled (avoid enabling it after marking has started).<br />
#When ready to release marks, click on a link to your Assignment and from its summary page click '''View all submissions'''; a page with the Grading Table displays.<br />
#Scroll down to Options and ensure '''Quick grading''' is enabled by clicking its checkbox; the page reloads with some extra options.<br />
#Also in Options, configure '''Assignments per page''' to display all your assignments, or as many as possible.<br />
#Scroll back up again and click the checkbox in the column heading '''Select'''; all records display selected (and you can deselect any individual records you may need to keep hidden).<br />
#From the '''With selected...''' menu choose '''Set marking workflow state''', then click '''Go''', and confirm if prompted; the Marking workflow state menu displays on a page.<br />
#From the '''Marking workflow state''' menu, choose '''Released'''.<br />
#To have Moodle send students a notification that grades and feedback are available, set '''Notify students''' to Yes.<br />
#Finally '''Save changes'''.<br />
<br />
(If you would like the Moodle Assignment to have a setting for releasing grades and feedback to students please vote for MDL-18722.)<br />
<br />
===Offline marking - downloading and uploading multiple grades and feedback files===<br />
<br />
If you don't have an internet connection or prefer to grade outside Moodle, you can do so (including with anonymous submissions).<br />
These easy stages explained below:<br />
#Download the submissions<br />
#Download the spreadsheet (grading worksheet) to record grades.<br />
#Grade and annotate (if applicable) the submitted work.<br />
#Upload the completed grading worksheet.<br />
#Upload the annotated submissions (if applicable).<br />
<br />
Note:You cannot upload marks and feedback to Moodle if you have enabled Rubrics or Marking Guides.<br />
<br />
====Before you start, enable the multiple file upload settings====<br />
Go to the settings of that assignment.<br />
For Feedback types, ensure that the Moodle Assignment settings, Feedback comments, Feedback files, and Offline grading worksheet are ticked. <br />
<br />
====Downloading student submissions====<br />
<br />
You can download a zip file containing all of the assignment submissions by selecting ‘Download all submissions’ from the 'Grading actions' menu at the top of the grading table, or in the settings menu. <br />
<br />
File submissions will be downloaded in the format uploaded by the student. Online text submissions will be downloaded as html files. Each file in the zip will be named with the student first and last name followed by a unique identifier (not the user ID number).<br />
<br />
If each submission is more than a single file, then submissions may be downloaded in folders by ticking the option 'Download submissions in folders' (below the grading table). Each submission is put in a separate folder, with the folder structure kept for any subfolders, and files are not renamed. Each folder will be named with the student first and last name followed by a unique identifier (not the user ID number).<br />
<br />
You can also download selected assignment submissions (rather than all of them) by selecting the ones you want and then choosing 'With selected....Download selected submissions'.<br />
<br />
====Download the Grading Worksheet to record grades ====<br />
#Next, to download the spreadsheet in which you'll enter the grades and brief comments, return to the Moodle Assignment page and from its Grading action drop-down menu choose Download grading worksheet and save that file (keep its csv file format).<br />
<br />
Note: Helpfully that downloaded worksheet will contain any existing grades and summary comments which have already been given for that assignment i.e. if marking has already started. However, to see pre-existing comments fully you may need to set your spreadsheet to 'wrap text' within cells.<br />
<br />
====Grade and annotate (if applicable) the submitted work====<br />
After downloading the submissions and the grading worksheet:<br />
#Open a downloaded assignment file to assess it. <br />
#Open the csv file in a spreadsheet editor e.g. Excel. <br />
#For that student's record (if anonymous, a number corresponding to the submission file name will display), enter grades in the Grade column and summary comments in the Feedback comments column for each student. <br />
#Leave the other data untouched unless you know exactly what you're doing.<br />
#Repeat as needed.<br />
#Save the csv file.<br />
<br />
Note: Take care to enter data in the correct column of the spreadsheet.<br />
<br />
If you are annotating the submissions to return to students as feedback:<br />
#Open a downloaded submission.<br />
#Carry out your annotations.<br />
#Save it in its original place i.e. the folder corresponding to that student.<br />
#Repeat as needed.<br />
If you have separate feedback files to upload to students:<br />
#Save these within that student's folder.<br />
#You can give students multiple feedback files in this way e.g. annotations on their work along with a separate pro forma.<br />
<br />
Note: Don't change the name or location of the folder - Moodle needs this information to allocate the files correctly.<br />
<br />
Compress (zip) all the feedback files:<br />
<br />
#Locate the folder containing the feedback files in Moodle, select them all (Ctrl+A within the folder), then zip them: <br />
##Windows: Right click one of the selected files and Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.<br />
##Mac: Right Click (or Ctrl+click) one of the selected files and click Compress.<br />
#They are now ready for upload (see below).<br />
<br />
====Upload the completed grading worksheet====<br />
When you are ready to upload grades and summary feedback:<br />
#Click on the assignment name on the Moodle course homepage to access the summary page and click '''View/grade all submissions'''.<br />
#From the Grading action drop-down menu choose '''Upload grading worksheet'''.<br />
#Click '''Choose a file...''' and upload the grading worksheet to Moodle, or drag the csv file to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#There is a checkbox to '''overwrite records that have been modified more recently in Moodle than in the spreadsheet''' - only check this if you want to spreadsheet to overwrite all Moodle records, including ones made more recently than the spreadsheet.<br />
#Click '''Upload grading worksheet'''; a Confirmation box displays the students grades and feedback that will be imported - check this carefully.<br />
#If you are ready to proceed, click '''Confirm'''; a summary of updates displays.<br />
#Click '''Continue'''.<br />
<br />
====Upload feedback files (if applicable)====<br />
#Click on the assignment name on the Moodle course homepage to access the summary page and click '''View/grade all submissions'''.<br />
#From the Grading action drop-down menu choose '''Upload multiple feedback files in a zip'''.<br />
#Click '''Choose a file...''' and upload the zipped assignments file to Moodle, or drag the compressed/zipped file to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#Click '''Import feedback file(s)'''.<br />
#The Confirmation box will list all the feedback files and student names that will be imported.<br />
#Click '''Confirm'''; the next screen summarises the changes.<br />
#Click '''Continue'''.<br />
#From the page containing the Grading Table, you can check your feedback files by enabling Quick grading (see Options at the bottom of that page) and scrolling horizontally, if needed.<br />
<br />
For an assignment with no file submissions, see the discussion [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=336438 upload feedback files without student file submissions] for details of what to do.<br />
<br />
===Give the same feedback file to multiple students===<br />
If you have high level feedback you want to give to an entire cohort, it is generally a good idea to give this feedback in the context of the assignment, rather than e.g. separately via a Forum. Moodle allows you to select some or all students and attach a single, common feedback file to their assignment feedback. This common feedback will appear to each student along with any other individual feedback files you have prepared for each. <br />
#Prepare the single file of feedback.<br />
#Click on the link to the Assignment; its summary page displays.<br />
#Click '''View all submissions'''; the assignment's Grading Table displays.<br />
#Use the checkboxes to select all or some students to receive the feedback (you may first prefer to configure the Grading Table to show as many students as possible on a single page).<br />
#Underneath the Grading Table click the '''With selected...''' menu, choose '''Send feedback files''', then click '''Go'''; a page displays a list of selected students above a file upload area.<br />
#Upload the file of feedback you prepapred, or drag it to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#Click '''Send feedback files'''; the Grading Table displays again.<br />
#Check your file is in place by scrolling horizontally to the '''Feedback files''' column.<br />
<br />
==Which type of assignment submission suits you best?==<br />
<br />
===You want students to type shorter or longer responses directly online===<br />
<br />
*Set ''Online text'' to Yes. This works well for younger children who will only manage a sentence or two and works just as well for higher education students who write more. <br />
**Advantage - quick for the student to get started; no need to use a word-processing program and upload the file. The text is saved on a regular basis so it will be preserved if the student loses the page for some reason.<br />
**Disadvantage: if the word count is expected to be large, setting ''Online text'' to No and ''File submission'' to Yes might be a better option.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit work you can download in a specified program===<br />
<br />
*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, set the number of files you will allow using the ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' setting and the file sizes by using the '' Maximum submission size'' setting.<br />
**Advantage - better than students emailing work as the whole class's work is collated in one space on your course. Markers can provide comments directly on the student work.<br />
**Advantage - with "Attempts reopened" enabled, teachers can see the progression through various drafts of a student's work.<br />
**Disadvantage - assignments must downloaded to be viewed (but they can be [[Assignment_FAQ| downloaded in bulk]]) and the teacher needs the appropriate program to open them.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit files at different times for a project===<br />
<br />
*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, and use ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' to set the maximum number of separate files they can upload<br />
**Advantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading so they get a single grade.<br />
**Disadvantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading - so they can only have a single grade!<br />
<br />
===You want students to write a response to a video/sound file/image===<br />
<br />
*Set up an assignment allowing ''online text'' submission and get students to use the Moodle media icon to add video/sound/image files. <br />
<br />
===You want students to answer a series of questions on a video/sound file/image===<br />
*Investigate the [[Quiz]] module. Assignments are really just for a single question.<br />
<br />
===You want to grade work students have done offline===<br />
*Uncheck the submission types when setting up the assignment. Students won't be required to do anything but you can use the assignment to grade them for work done outside of Moodle.<br />
<br />
===You want to view, comment on and send back students' assignments===<br />
<br />
*Set up an assignment allowing ''file submissions''.<br />
**Advantage: useful for teachers who like using the "comment" options in word-processing programs for example. If you have Ghostscript enabled on your server and the students upload PDF files, you can annotate them inline. See the section [[Using Assignment#Annotating PDF files| Annotating PDF files]] below.<br />
**Disadvantage: if students upload other file types, you have to download them, comment and then re-upload them.<br />
<br />
===You want students to send you a comment or note along with their uploaded work===<br />
<br />
*Although previous versions of Moodle allowed the ''Submission comments'' submission plugin to be toggled, this is no longer the case. If [[Comments#Enabling_comments|comments are enabled site-wide]], students will be able to add submission comments; if comments are disabled site-wide, students will not be given the option to add submission comments.<br />
<br />
===You want to allow students to redraft and decide when to submit the work===<br />
<br />
*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to Yes. Students can then control when their draft work is submitted to the teacher. <br />
<br />
===You want students to keep an ongoing journal or do an iterative assignment===<br />
<br />
*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to No. Students can continue to make changes to their assignment and at no point do they 'submit'. If the work will be graded at some point it is recommended that either ''Prevent late submissions'' is set to Yes to ensure that no changes can be made after the due date, or [[Using_Assignment#Submission_status| all submissions are locked]] when grading commences to ensure that the work is not altered during grading.<br />
**Advantage: the work remains in one place and is constantly improved, graded (if needed) and improved again. <br />
**Disadvantage: there is no record/history of previous attempts (such as with the [[Wiki]]). The online text assignment does not replicate the display of a journal or blog where each new entry is additional to the previous ones.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit work in groups===<br />
<br />
*In the settings, set "Students submit in groups" to Yes. If you just do this, then once one student has submitted, the assignment will be flagged as submitted even if the others haven't contributed. If you want to ensure everyone has an input, set "Require students click submit button" to Yes and then change "Require all group members to submit" to Yes. The assignment will only be classed as submitted when each member has contributed, and once one student has submitted, the remaining members's names will be displayed for the group to see who still needs to add their input.<br />
<br />
===You want to grade students' work anonymously===<br />
*In the settings, choose "Blind marking". When students submit assignments, their names will be replaced by randomly-generated participant numbers so you will not know who is who. Note that this is not '''totally''' blind marking because you can reveal their identities in the assignment settings and you can work out identities from the logs - so this might not be suitable if your establishment has very precise privacy requirements.<br />
<br />
===You want to read and grade student assignments offline===<br />
*In the settings, choose "Offline grading worksheet". When students have submitted, click "View/grade all submissions" and you can download their assignments from the link "Download all submissions" and download the grading sheet from the link "Download grading worksheet". You can then edit grades and re-upload the grading worksheet. You can also upload multiple feedback files in a zip from this drop down menu. See [[Assignment settings]] for an explanation of how to use the "upload multiple feedback files as zip" feature.<br />
<br />
===You want to hide students' grades until a time of your choosing.===<br />
Use 'marking workflow' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]<br />
<br />
===You want to moderate other colleagues' marking or allocate certain teachers to certain students===<br />
Use 'marking allocation' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]<br />
<br />
==Keeping records (archiving, exporting, backing up)==<br />
When students unenrol from a Moodle area, their records become invisible through the Gradebook interface. In order to have the information to hand, departments or course teaching teams may need systems in place to keep their own records for the data retention period required in their particular context. There are two separate procedures for exporting student submissions and marks.<br />
<br />
To export marks (with or without feedback):<br />
#Go to your course administration block and click Grades.<br />
#From the Grader Report Settings block, select Export; a menu displays.<br />
#From the menu, if you need easy viewing and running calculations you probably want to select one of the spreadsheet formats; a page of export settings loads<br />
#Use the Visible Groups pulldown menu to limit the export to specific groups, as required<br />
#In Options, you indicate whether feedback comments are included<br />
#In Grade Items To Be Included lists you can, if required, omit particular Activities from the report<br />
#When you've finished with the settings, click on Submit; a preview of your export displays<br />
#Click on Download to export to the format you chose, and save the file.<br />
<br />
To download the original student submissions:<br />
#In your course area, click the link to the Assignment whose submissions you want to download.<br />
#Click on the link to View/Grade all submissions; the Grading Table will load.<br />
#Click the link to 'Download all submissions' and save the file.<br />
==Tips and Tricks==<br />
* Want to use an Assignment activity again in another Moodle site? Use the [[Activity_backup| backup and restore]] options. <br />
*Want to use an Assignment activity in another course you teach? Use the [[Import_course_data| Import function]] in the course administration block.<br />
*Moodle will sometimes appear not to be uploading a resubmitted assignment - you seem to be downloading the original assignment. This is a cache issue, in short, go to ''"Tools > Clear Recent History"'' in Firefox or ''"Tools > Delete Browsing History > Delete Temporary Files"'' in Windows Explorer. The newer file will then appear.<br />

==What options are there for submitting work in Moodle?==<br />
The standard ways students can submit assignments are:<br />
* File submissions (students submit a file for assessment)<br />
* Online text (students can type their responses directly in Moodle)<br />
* Submission comments<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
# It is also possible to use the assignment module for grading an "offline assignment", ie, one where work is done outside of Moodle. This is done by simply unchecking the above three options.<br />
# If you're not sure which assignment type best suits your needs, look at the section below [[#Which submission type suits you best?]]<br />
<br />
==How do students submit their assignments?==<br />
The first page students will see when they click on the assignment activity link from the course page will display the assignment name, description and the submission status. The first time a student views the assignment it will look like this:<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:statuses.jpg|thumb|Student view of assignment]] <br />
|}<br />
The submission status section includes:<br />
*'''Submission status''' <br />
*'''Grading status'''<br />
*Due date<br />
*Time remaining<br />
*Last modified<br />
*Submission details<br />
<br />
As they progress through the assignment the Submission status and Grading status will update and the Last modified date will appear.<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:submission statuses graded.jpg|thumb|Example of submitted and graded assignment]] <br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the student uploaded a file which the teacher has annotated, this will be made available in the feedback section. The student can search through the document and filter specific comments.<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:26pdfstudentgraded.png|thumb|Student view of graded pdf file]]<br />
|[[File:26searchcomments.png|thumb|Searching and filtering comments in annotated pdf]]<br />
|}<br />
Submission statuses include:<br />
<br />
*Nothing submitted for this assignment<br />
*Draft (not submitted)<br />
*Submitted for grading<br />
<br />
Grading statuses include:<br />
<br />
*Not graded<br />
*Graded<br />
<br />
===File submission===<br />
To submit a file submission, students complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the file upload page.<br />
# Upload the relevant file into the submission. They are able to ‘drag and drop’ the file into the submission box.<br />
# Click ‘Save Changes’.<br />
<br />
There should now be a Last modified date and the file(s) uploaded will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.<br />
<br />
# If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.<br />
# Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’.<br />
<br />
Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:file upload.jpg|thumb|Student view when adding a submission]]<br />
|[[File:file uploaded.jpg|thumb|Student view once file is uploaded]]<br />
|[[File:submit button.jpg|thumb|Student view when submitting assignment]]<br />
|}<br />
Note: Depending on how the assignment is setup students may see '''both''' a file submission page and an online text editor.<br />
<br />
===Online text===<br />
To submit online text, students complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the online text editor page. <br />
# Type the relevant text into the [[Text_editor|text editor]], or paste from a previously written file.<br />
# Click ‘Save Changes’.<br />
<br />
There should now be a Last modified date and the first 100 characters entered will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.<br />
<br />
# If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.<br />
# Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’.<br />
<br />
Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:online text entered.jpg|thumb|Online text entered]]<br />
|[[File:submit button online text.jpg|thumb|Submitting assignment]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Submission comments===<br />
Depending on how the assignment has been setup, there may be a section where students can leave submission comments.<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:student comments.jpg|thumb|Student comments]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Grading and feedback==<br />
When students have submitted their assignments, they can be accessed by clicking on the assignment activity. This will bring up the Grading Summary page.<br />
<br />
The Grading Summary page displays a summary of the assignment, including; number of participants, number of drafts, number of submitted assignments, due date and time remaining.<br />
<br />
Clicking 'Grade' will take you to the first student in the list so you can start grading individually. Clicking 'View all submissions' will take you to the grading table where you see all students.<br />
<br />
The Grading Table contains columns of information about the student, the status of their submission, a link to grade their submission, a link to each submission and feedback comments and files (if enabled). <br />
<br />
===Filtering submissions===<br />
<br />
A dropdown menu accessed from the 'Options' section allows you to filter submissions so you can for example quickly see which students have not submitted yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:assignmentfilter.png]]<br />
<br />
===Allocating submissions to markers===<br />
If you need to divide submissions between you can apply Groups to the Assignment and let markers know which Group(s) to mark. Note that because Group membership is not itself anonymised, this may make anonymised submissions that bit less anonymous, though as long as the Groups aren't very small this should be acceptable.<br />
<br />
An alternative is to use Marking Allocation - this allows anyone with a Tutor role to allocate one marker to each submission. This works particularly well if marking is allocated by subject specialism.<br />
<br />
===Submission status===<br />
If you will be assigning grades to student work, you may want to take note of the submission status before you begin the marking process. If you have required students click the Submit button, you may find that some submissions are still marked as Draft (not submitted), meaning the student has either uploaded a file(s) or entered some text, but has not clicked ‘Submit assignment’. <br />
<br />
If it's after the due date and you are about to commencing marking that you use ‘Prevent submission changes’ to stop students from making changes to their assignment. You can do this one by one by using the icon in the Edit column.<br />
<br />
Or you can select two or more students by putting a tick in the select column and going to 'Lock submissions’ from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.<br />
<br />
Likewise you can also revert a student's submission to draft if they have uploaded the incorrect file. Instead of selecting ‘Prevent submission changes’ select ‘Revert the submission to draft’, or place ticks against selected students and choose 'Revert the submission to draft status' from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:submission statuses.jpg|thumb|Submission statuses]]<br />
|[[File:prevent submission changes dropdown.jpg|thumb|Prevent submission changes dropdown]]<br />
|[[File:lock submissions.jpg|thumb|Lock submissions]]<br />
|[[File:revert to draft.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft]]<br />
|[[File:revert submission to draft status.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft status]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the submission setting 'Attempts reopened' is set to 'Automatically until pass' and a submission is graded below the grade to pass, then then submission is automatically unlocked when the grade is saved. Similarly, if the submission setting 'Attempts reopened' is set to Manually, and a teacher selects 'Allow another attempt, then the submission is automatically unlocked. (Prior to 3.0.3, the submission need to be manually unlocked.)<br />
<br />
===Overriding assignment deadlines===<br />
{{New features}}<br />
A teacher can override a deadline for an individual or group from the assignment settings link (gear menu in the [[Boost theme]] or Assignment administration other themes.) See the screencast [https://youtu.be/5Ghe7rueIME Assignment overrides] for a demo.<br />
[[File:AssignmentOverridesBoost.png||thumb|center|600px]]<br />
<br />
When adding overrides for a group, it is possible to have one group override trump another. This is achieved by moving the override up/down on the group overrides page:<br />
[[File:AssignmentGroupOverrides.png||thumb|center]]<br />
<br />
In this situation, a student in both groups (e.g. Frodo Baggins) will have the override from "The Council of Elrond" applied. By pressing the arrow icons on the right, the override for "The Fellowship" can be moved to the top of the list, and will have higher precedence.<br />
<br />
Note also that if there exists a user override for a student, it will always take precedence over any group overrides.<br />
===Granting extensions===<br />
If an assignment has a deadline, a teacher can grant individual or group assignment extensions by selecting the Edit link next to a particular student or group.<br />
<br />
#To grant an extension, open the assignment<br />
#Click on "View all submissions"<br />
#Locate the student who is to be allowed to submit after the "Cut-off date"To<br />
#Click on the adjacent "Edit" drop down menu and select "Grant extension"<br />
##[[File:grantextension0.png|thumb|center|600px]]<br />
#Set the extension date and time. The student's or group's name is also shown on this screen.<br />
##[[File:grantextension.png||thumb|center|600px]]<br />
#Click on "Save changes".<br />
<br />
===Quick grading===<br />
<br />
'''Quick grading''' allows you to enter numeric grades directly into the grading table, bypassing the more detailed grading interface. Please note:<br />
*if you want to give feedback, you need to use the more detailed Grade interface. <br />
*Quick grading is incompatible with advanced grading e.g. Rubrics, and is not recommended when there are multiple markers. <br />
*'''Submission comments''' are a two-way private conversation between a student and staff and are visible to students immediately i.e. markers use the grading interface to give feedback, not the submission comments.<br />
<br />
To access the Quick Grading interface, from the Grading Summary page click 'View all assignments'; the Grading Table displays. Scroll to bottom of the page to configure Options, and check the box for 'Quick grading'. While you're down there, you can also set the number of assignments to display per page, filter the assignments e.g. to see who has not submitted, unmarked assignments, etc.<br />
<br />
When you are ready to Quick Grade: <br />
<br />
#You can enter grades directly into the grading table. <br />
#Scroll to the bottom of the grading table and click 'Save all quick grading changes'<br />
#A confirmation displays.<br />
<br />
===Grading individual submissions===<br />
If you have enabled File Feedback in the [[Assignment settings]] and wish to upload either the marked student assignment, a completed text based feedback document or audio feedback, click on the green tick in the Grade column (or use the icon in the Edit column and select Grade).<br />
<br />
This brings you to the Student Grading Page where you can give grades, feedback comments and feedback files (if enabled in the [[Assignment settings]]). You can use drag and drop to upload feedback files.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:green tick.jpg|thumb|Green tick]]<br />
|[[File:grade.jpg|thumb|Grading]]<br />
|[[File:feedbackfiles.png|thumb|Feedback files]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====Annotating submissions====<br />
<br />
If the student has uploaded a PDF, docx or odt file, or if you set 'Comment inline' for an online text submission, then their submission will be displayed on the grading screen, allowing you to annotate it (requires [http://www.ghostscript.com/ Ghostscript] for PDF and [[Universal Office Converter (unoconv)|unoconv]] for docx and odt files), using a variety of tools, stamps (if uploaded by the admin) and comments which may be saved to a comments bank. When the annotations are complete, clicking to save the changes will result in it being displayed to the student as part of their feedback. <br />
<br />
[[File:Annotatingsubmissions1.png|thumb|500px|center|Annotating a student's submission]]<br />
<br />
Comments may be added and then saved in a quick list for future use ''(1)'' Click the paper/magnifying glass icon to the right of the page selector to filter comments you have already added to the work''(2)'':<br />
*In the '''Search comments''' pop-up window, enter the term you would like to search for in the '''Filter comments...''' box. <br />
*Clicking on the comment will take you to the part of the paper where that comment has been added.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:NFaddcomment.png|thumb|400px|1.Saving and re-using comments]]<br />
|[[File:NFcommentsearch.png|thumb|400px|2. Accessing comments]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that comments display to students as the marker intends, do instruct students to download the annotated PDF rather than just previewing it. Preview sometimes displays comments in a way which obscures the original text.<br />
<br />
The review panel and / or the grading panel may be collapsed by clicking the icons at the bottom right of the screen.<br />
<br />
[[File:CollapseReviewPanel.png|center]]<br />
<br />
===Controlling when to notify students of graded work===<br />
<br />
====Notifying as you mark====<br />
<br />
If you need to notify individual students, one by one, as you mark, the '''Notify students''' checkbox is available when grading individual submissions. Choose Yes to notify the student immediately or No to grade without notifying the student. Assuming you are not hiding grades in the ways outlined below, then Moodle will send a notification.<br />
<br />
Note: How students receive Moodle notifications depends on your local default settings, and any changes students have made to those.<br />
<br />
[[File:notifystudents.png|center|thumb|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Keeping grades hidden until a release date====<br />
<br />
Or if you need to keep your grades and feedback hidden from students until marking is finalised, and then release them to all students at the same time, there are two alternatives. <br />
<br />
The first is to hide the item in the Gradebook. This way is best if there is only one marker and no exceptional circumstances (i.e. you don't need to keep any students' marks hidden). Use it as follows:<br />
#In your Moodle course '''Settings''', click on '''Grades'''; the Grades page displays.<br />
#Click '''View''', then '''Grader report'''; a grid of participants and gradeable items displays.<br />
#Find the column for the assignment ('''Grade item''') whose grades you wish to hide, and click its Eye/Hide icon; the Eye icon displays with a strikethrough which means the grades are hidden from students.<br />
#To reveal the grades to students, you can either:<br />
##Remind yourself to return here and click the Eye/Show icon again; when it displays without the strikethrough the grades will be shown to students. With this option you need to remember to change the setting at the time.<br />
##Or if you prefer to set a time for the grades to be automatically revealed, click on the Cog/Edit icon to display settings for that grade item, then click the '''Show more''' link to display extra settings. For '''Hidden until''' click its checkbox and configure its date. With this option you need to get your marking done on time (or remember to come in and change the date to give yourself more time).<br />
#To notify students that marks and feedback are available, use e.g. the Announcements forum.<br />
<br />
Note: If you use this approach do communicate with any colleagues and remember to reveal the grades ultimately, since if grades remain hidden they can confuse the final grade calculations.<br />
<br />
The alternative approach to releasing marks to all students at the same time is to enable '''Use marking workflow''' in the Assignment's settings. This way is best where there are multiple markers and/or exceptional circumstances causing you to withhold some marks. Use it as follows:<br />
#Set up your assignment with Marking Workflow enabled (avoid enabling it after marking has started).<br />
#When ready to release marks, click on a link to your Assignment and from its summary page click '''View all submissions'''; a page with the Grading Table displays.<br />
#Scroll down to Options and ensure '''Quick grading''' is enabled by clicking its checkbox; the page reloads with some extra options.<br />
#Also in Options, configure '''Assignments per page''' to display all your assignments, or as many as possible.<br />
#Scroll back up again and click the checkbox in the column heading '''Select'''; all records display selected (and you can deselect any individual records you may need to keep hidden).<br />
#From the '''With selected...''' menu choose '''Set marking workflow state''', then click '''Go''', and confirm if prompted; the Marking workflow state menu displays on a page.<br />
#From the '''Marking workflow state''' menu, choose '''Released'''.<br />
#To have Moodle send students a notification that grades and feedback are available, set '''Notify students''' to Yes.<br />
#Finally '''Save changes'''.<br />
<br />
(If you would like the Moodle Assignment to have a setting for releasing grades and feedback to students please vote for MDL-18722.)<br />
<br />
===Offline marking - downloading and uploading multiple grades and feedback files===<br />
<br />
If you don't have an internet connection or prefer to grade outside Moodle, you can do so (including with anonymous submissions).<br />
These easy stages explained below:<br />
#Download the submissions<br />
#Download the spreadsheet (grading worksheet) to record grades.<br />
#Grade and annotate (if applicable) the submitted work.<br />
#Upload the completed grading worksheet.<br />
#Upload the annotated submissions (if applicable).<br />
<br />
Note:You cannot upload marks and feedback to Moodle if you have enabled Rubrics or Marking Guides.<br />
<br />
====Before you start, enable the multiple file upload settings====<br />
Go to the settings of that assignment.<br />
For Feedback types, ensure that the Moodle Assignment settings, Feedback comments, Feedback files, and Offline grading worksheet are ticked. <br />
<br />
====Downloading student submissions====<br />
<br />
You can download a zip file containing all of the assignment submissions by selecting ‘Download all submissions’ from the 'Grading actions' menu at the top of the grading table, or in the settings menu. <br />
<br />
File submissions will be downloaded in the format uploaded by the student. Online text submissions will be downloaded as html files. Each file in the zip will be named with the student first and last name followed by a unique identifier (not the user ID number).<br />
<br />
If each submission is more than a single file, then submissions may be downloaded in folders by ticking the option 'Download submissions in folders' (below the grading table). Each submission is put in a separate folder, with the folder structure kept for any subfolders, and files are not renamed. Each folder will be named with the student first and last name followed by a unique identifier (not the user ID number).<br />
<br />
You can also download selected assignment submissions (rather than all of them) by selecting the ones you want and then choosing 'With selected....Download selected submissions'.<br />
<br />
====Download the Grading Worksheet to record grades ====<br />
#Next, to download the spreadsheet in which you'll enter the grades and brief comments, return to the Moodle Assignment page and from its Grading action drop-down menu choose Download grading worksheet and save that file (keep its csv file format).<br />
<br />
Note: Helpfully that downloaded worksheet will contain any existing grades and summary comments which have already been given for that assignment i.e. if marking has already started. However, to see pre-existing comments fully you may need to set your spreadsheet to 'wrap text' within cells.<br />
<br />
====Grade and annotate (if applicable) the submitted work====<br />
After downloading the submissions and the grading worksheet:<br />
#Open a downloaded assignment file to assess it. <br />
#Open the csv file in a spreadsheet editor e.g. Excel. <br />
#For that student's record (if anonymous, a number corresponding to the submission file name will display), enter grades in the Grade column and summary comments in the Feedback comments column for each student. <br />
#Leave the other data untouched unless you know exactly what you're doing.<br />
#Repeat as needed.<br />
#Save the csv file.<br />
<br />
Note: Take care to enter data in the correct column of the spreadsheet.<br />
<br />
If you are annotating the submissions to return to students as feedback:<br />
#Open a downloaded submission.<br />
#Carry out your annotations.<br />
#Save it in its original place i.e. the folder corresponding to that student.<br />
#Repeat as needed.<br />
If you have separate feedback files to upload to students:<br />
#Save these within that student's folder.<br />
#You can give students multiple feedback files in this way e.g. annotations on their work along with a separate pro forma.<br />
<br />
Note: Don't change the name or location of the folder - Moodle needs this information to allocate the files correctly.<br />
<br />
Compress (zip) all the feedback files:<br />
<br />
#Locate the folder containing the feedback files in Moodle, select them all (Ctrl+A within the folder), then zip them: <br />
##Windows: Right click one of the selected files and Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.<br />
##Mac: Right Click (or Ctrl+click) one of the selected files and click Compress.<br />
#They are now ready for upload (see below).<br />
<br />
====Upload the completed grading worksheet====<br />
When you are ready to upload grades and summary feedback:<br />
#Click on the assignment name on the Moodle course homepage to access the summary page and click '''View/grade all submissions'''.<br />
#From the Grading action drop-down menu choose '''Upload grading worksheet'''.<br />
#Click '''Choose a file...''' and upload the grading worksheet to Moodle, or drag the csv file to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#There is a checkbox to '''overwrite records that have been modified more recently in Moodle than in the spreadsheet''' - only check this if you want to spreadsheet to overwrite all Moodle records, including ones made more recently than the spreadsheet.<br />
#Click '''Upload grading worksheet'''; a Confirmation box displays the students grades and feedback that will be imported - check this carefully.<br />
#If you are ready to proceed, click '''Confirm'''; a summary of updates displays.<br />
#Click '''Continue'''.<br />
<br />
====Upload feedback files (if applicable)====<br />
#Click on the assignment name on the Moodle course homepage to access the summary page and click '''View/grade all submissions'''.<br />
#From the Grading action drop-down menu choose '''Upload multiple feedback files in a zip'''.<br />
#Click '''Choose a file...''' and upload the zipped assignments file to Moodle, or drag the compressed/zipped file to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#Click '''Import feedback file(s)'''.<br />
#The Confirmation box will list all the feedback files and student names that will be imported.<br />
#Click '''Confirm'''; the next screen summarises the changes.<br />
#Click '''Continue'''.<br />
#From the page containing the Grading Table, you can check your feedback files by enabling Quick grading (see Options at the bottom of that page) and scrolling horizontally, if needed.<br />
<br />
For an assignment with no file submissions, see the discussion [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=336438 upload feedback files without student file submissions] for details of what to do.<br />
<br />
===Give the same feedback file to multiple students===<br />
If you have high level feedback you want to give to an entire cohort, it is generally a good idea to give this feedback in the context of the assignment, rather than e.g. separately via a Forum. Moodle allows you to select some or all students and attach a single, common feedback file to their assignment feedback. This common feedback will appear to each student along with any other individual feedback files you have prepared for each. <br />
#Prepare the single file of feedback.<br />
#Click on the link to the Assignment; its summary page displays.<br />
#Click '''View all submissions'''; the assignment's Grading Table displays.<br />
#Use the checkboxes to select all or some students to receive the feedback (you may first prefer to configure the Grading Table to show as many students as possible on a single page).<br />
#Underneath the Grading Table click the '''With selected...''' menu, choose '''Send feedback files''', then click '''Go'''; a page displays a list of selected students above a file upload area.<br />
#Upload the file of feedback you prepapred, or drag it to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#Click '''Send feedback files'''; the Grading Table displays again.<br />
#Check your file is in place by scrolling horizontally to the '''Feedback files''' column.<br />
<br />
==Which type of assignment submission suits you best?==<br />
<br />
===You want students to type shorter or longer responses directly online===<br />
<br />
*Set ''Online text'' to Yes. This works well for younger children who will only manage a sentence or two and works just as well for higher education students who write more. <br />
**Advantage - quick for the student to get started; no need to use a word-processing program and upload the file. The text is saved on a regular basis so it will be preserved if the student loses the page for some reason.<br />
**Disadvantage: if the word count is expected to be large, setting ''Online text'' to No and ''File submission'' to Yes might be a better option.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit work you can download in a specified program===<br />
<br />
*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, set the number of files you will allow using the ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' setting and the file sizes by using the '' Maximum submission size'' setting.<br />
**Advantage - better than students emailing work as the whole class's work is collated in one space on your course. Markers can provide comments directly on the student work.<br />
**Advantage - with "Attempts reopened" enabled, teachers can see the progression through various drafts of a student's work.<br />
**Disadvantage - assignments must downloaded to be viewed (but they can be [[Assignment_FAQ| downloaded in bulk]]) and the teacher needs the appropriate program to open them.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit files at different times for a project===<br />
<br />
*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, and use ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' to set the maximum number of separate files they can upload<br />
**Advantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading so they get a single grade.<br />
**Disadvantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading - so they can only have a single grade!<br />
<br />
===You want students to write a response to a video/sound file/image===<br />
<br />
*Set up an assignment allowing ''online text'' submission and get students to use the Moodle media icon to add video/sound/image files. <br />
<br />
===You want students to answer a series of questions on a video/sound file/image===<br />
*Investigate the [[Quiz]] module. Assignments are really just for a single question.<br />
<br />
===You want to grade work students have done offline===<br />
*Uncheck the submission types when setting up the assignment. Students won't be required to do anything but you can use the assignment to grade them for work done outside of Moodle.<br />
<br />
===You want to view, comment on and send back students' assignments===<br />
<br />
*Set up an assignment allowing ''file submissions''.<br />
**Advantage: useful for teachers who like using the "comment" options in word-processing programs for example. If you have Ghostscript enabled on your server and the students upload PDF files, you can annotate them inline. See the section [[Using Assignment#Annotating PDF files| Annotating PDF files]] below.<br />
**Disadvantage: if students upload other file types, you have to download them, comment and then re-upload them.<br />
<br />
===You want students to send you a comment or note along with their uploaded work===<br />
<br />
*Although previous versions of Moodle allowed the ''Submission comments'' submission plugin to be toggled, this is no longer the case. If [[Comments#Enabling_comments|comments are enabled site-wide]], students will be able to add submission comments; if comments are disabled site-wide, students will not be given the option to add submission comments.<br />
<br />
===You want to allow students to redraft and decide when to submit the work===<br />
<br />
*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to Yes. Students can then control when their draft work is submitted to the teacher. <br />
<br />
===You want students to keep an ongoing journal or do an iterative assignment===<br />
<br />
*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to No. Students can continue to make changes to their assignment and at no point do they 'submit'. If the work will be graded at some point it is recommended that either ''Prevent late submissions'' is set to Yes to ensure that no changes can be made after the due date, or [[Using_Assignment#Submission_status| all submissions are locked]] when grading commences to ensure that the work is not altered during grading.<br />
**Advantage: the work remains in one place and is constantly improved, graded (if needed) and improved again. <br />
**Disadvantage: there is no record/history of previous attempts (such as with the [[Wiki]]). The online text assignment does not replicate the display of a journal or blog where each new entry is additional to the previous ones.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit work in groups===<br />
<br />
*In the settings, set "Students submit in groups" to Yes. If you just do this, then once one student has submitted, the assignment will be flagged as submitted even if the others haven't contributed. If you want to ensure everyone has an input, set "Require students click submit button" to Yes and then change "Require all group members to submit" to Yes. The assignment will only be classed as submitted when each member has contributed, and once one student has submitted, the remaining members's names will be displayed for the group to see who still needs to add their input.<br />
<br />
===You want to grade students' work anonymously===<br />
*In the settings, choose "Blind marking". When students submit assignments, their names will be replaced by randomly-generated participant numbers so you will not know who is who. Note that this is not '''totally''' blind marking because you can reveal their identities in the assignment settings and you can work out identities from the logs - so this might not be suitable if your establishment has very precise privacy requirements.<br />
<br />
===You want to read and grade student assignments offline===<br />
*In the settings, choose "Offline grading worksheet". When students have submitted, click "View/grade all submissions" and you can download their assignments from the link "Download all submissions" and download the grading sheet from the link "Download grading worksheet". You can then edit grades and re-upload the grading worksheet. You can also upload multiple feedback files in a zip from this drop down menu. See [[Assignment settings]] for an explanation of how to use the "upload multiple feedback files as zip" feature.<br />
<br />
===You want to hide students' grades until a time of your choosing.===<br />
Use 'marking workflow' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]<br />
<br />
===You want to moderate other colleagues' marking or allocate certain teachers to certain students===<br />
Use 'marking allocation' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]<br />
<br />
==Keeping records (archiving, exporting, backing up)==<br />
When students unenrol from a Moodle area, their records become invisible through the Gradebook interface. In order to have the information to hand, departments or course teaching teams may need systems in place to keep their own records for the data retention period required in their particular context. There are two separate procedures for exporting student submissions and marks.<br />
<br />
To export marks (with or without feedback):<br />
#Go to your course administration block and click Grades.<br />
#From the Grader Report Settings block, select Export; a menu displays.<br />
#From the menu, if you need easy viewing and running calculations you probably want to select one of the spreadsheet formats; a page of export settings loads<br />
#Use the Visible Groups pulldown menu to limit the export to specific groups, as required<br />
#In Options, you indicate whether feedback comments are included<br />
#In Grade Items To Be Included lists you can, if required, omit particular Activities from the report<br />
#When you've finished with the settings, click on Submit; a preview of your export displays<br />
#Click on Download to export to the format you chose, and save the file.<br />
<br />
To download the original student submissions:<br />
#In your course area, click the link to the Assignment whose submissions you want to download.<br />
#Click on the link to View/Grade all submissions; the Grading Table will load.<br />
#Click the link to 'Download all submissions' and save the file.<br />
==Tips and Tricks==<br />
* Want to use an Assignment activity again in another Moodle site? Use the [[Activity_backup| backup and restore]] options. <br />
*Want to use an Assignment activity in another course you teach? Use the [[Import_course_data| Import function]] in the course administration block.<br />
*Moodle will sometimes appear not to be uploading a resubmitted assignment - you seem to be downloading the original assignment. This is a cache issue, in short, go to ''"Tools > Clear Recent History"'' in Firefox or ''"Tools > Delete Browsing History > Delete Temporary Files"'' in Windows Explorer. The newer file will then appear.<br />

==What options are there for submitting work in Moodle?==<br />
The standard ways students can submit assignments are:<br />
* File submissions (students submit a file for assessment)<br />
* Online text (students can type their responses directly in Moodle)<br />
* Submission comments<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
# It is also possible to use the assignment module for grading an "offline assignment", ie, one where work is done outside of Moodle. This is done by simply unchecking the above three options.<br />
# If you're not sure which assignment type best suits your needs, look at the section below [[#Which submission type suits you best?]]<br />
<br />
==How do students submit their assignments?==<br />
The first page students will see when they click on the assignment activity link from the course page will display the assignment name, description and the submission status. The first time a student views the assignment it will look like this:<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:statuses.jpg|thumb|Student view of assignment]] <br />
|}<br />
The submission status section includes:<br />
*'''Submission status''' <br />
*'''Grading status'''<br />
*Due date<br />
*Time remaining<br />
*Last modified<br />
*Submission details<br />
<br />
As they progress through the assignment the Submission status and Grading status will update and the Last modified date will appear.<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:submission statuses graded.jpg|thumb|Example of submitted and graded assignment]] <br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the student uploaded a file which the teacher has annotated, this will be made available in the feedback section. The student can search through the document and filter specific comments.<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:26pdfstudentgraded.png|thumb|Student view of graded pdf file]]<br />
|[[File:26searchcomments.png|thumb|Searching and filtering comments in annotated pdf]]<br />
|}<br />
Submission statuses include:<br />
<br />
*Nothing submitted for this assignment<br />
*Draft (not submitted)<br />
*Submitted for grading<br />
<br />
Grading statuses include:<br />
<br />
*Not graded<br />
*Graded<br />
<br />
===File submission===<br />
To submit a file submission, students complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the file upload page.<br />
# Upload the relevant file into the submission. They are able to ‘drag and drop’ the file into the submission box.<br />
# Click ‘Save Changes’.<br />
<br />
There should now be a Last modified date and the file(s) uploaded will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.<br />
<br />
# If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.<br />
# Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’.<br />
<br />
Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:file upload.jpg|thumb|Student view when adding a submission]]<br />
|[[File:file uploaded.jpg|thumb|Student view once file is uploaded]]<br />
|[[File:submit button.jpg|thumb|Student view when submitting assignment]]<br />
|}<br />
Note: Depending on how the assignment is setup students may see '''both''' a file submission page and an online text editor.<br />
<br />
===Online text===<br />
To submit online text, students complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the online text editor page. <br />
# Type the relevant text into the [[Text_editor|text editor]], or paste from a previously written file.<br />
# Click ‘Save Changes’.<br />
<br />
There should now be a Last modified date and the first 100 characters entered will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.<br />
<br />
# If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.<br />
# Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’.<br />
<br />
Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:online text entered.jpg|thumb|Online text entered]]<br />
|[[File:submit button online text.jpg|thumb|Submitting assignment]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Submission comments===<br />
Depending on how the assignment has been setup, there may be a section where students can leave submission comments.<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:student comments.jpg|thumb|Student comments]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Grading and feedback==<br />
When students have submitted their assignments, they can be accessed by clicking on the assignment activity. This will bring up the Grading Summary page.<br />
<br />
The Grading Summary page displays a summary of the assignment, including; number of participants, number of drafts, number of submitted assignments, due date and time remaining.<br />
<br />
Clicking 'Grade' will take you to the first student in the list so you can start grading individually. Clicking 'View all submissions' will take you to the grading table where you see all students.<br />
<br />
The Grading Table contains columns of information about the student, the status of their submission, a link to grade their submission, a link to each submission and feedback comments and files (if enabled). <br />
<br />
===Filtering submissions===<br />
<br />
A dropdown menu accessed from the 'Options' section allows you to filter submissions so you can for example quickly see which students have not submitted yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:assignmentfilter.png]]<br />
<br />
===Allocating submissions to markers===<br />
If you need to divide submissions between you can apply Groups to the Assignment and let markers know which Group(s) to mark. Note that because Group membership is not itself anonymised, this may make anonymised submissions that bit less anonymous, though as long as the Groups aren't very small this should be acceptable.<br />
<br />
An alternative is to use Marking Allocation - this allows anyone with a Tutor role to allocate one marker to each submission. This works particularly well if marking is allocated by subject specialism.<br />
<br />
===Submission status===<br />
If you will be assigning grades to student work, you may want to take note of the submission status before you begin the marking process. If you have required students click the Submit button, you may find that some submissions are still marked as Draft (not submitted), meaning the student has either uploaded a file(s) or entered some text, but has not clicked ‘Submit assignment’. <br />
<br />
If it's after the due date and you are about to commencing marking that you use ‘Prevent submission changes’ to stop students from making changes to their assignment. You can do this one by one by using the icon in the Edit column.<br />
<br />
Or you can select two or more students by putting a tick in the select column and going to 'Lock submissions’ from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.<br />
<br />
Likewise you can also revert a student's submission to draft if they have uploaded the incorrect file. Instead of selecting ‘Prevent submission changes’ select ‘Revert the submission to draft’, or place ticks against selected students and choose 'Revert the submission to draft status' from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:submission statuses.jpg|thumb|Submission statuses]]<br />
|[[File:prevent submission changes dropdown.jpg|thumb|Prevent submission changes dropdown]]<br />
|[[File:lock submissions.jpg|thumb|Lock submissions]]<br />
|[[File:revert to draft.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft]]<br />
|[[File:revert submission to draft status.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft status]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the submission setting 'Attempts reopened' is set to 'Automatically until pass' and a submission is graded below the grade to pass, then then submission is automatically unlocked when the grade is saved. Similarly, if the submission setting 'Attempts reopened' is set to Manually, and a teacher selects 'Allow another attempt, then the submission is automatically unlocked. (Prior to 3.0.3, the submission need to be manually unlocked.)<br />
<br />
===Overriding assignment deadlines===<br />
{{New features}}<br />
A teacher can override a deadline for an individual or group from the assignment settings link (gear menu in the [[Boost theme]] or Assignment administration other themes.) See the screencast [https://youtu.be/5Ghe7rueIME Assignment overrides] for a demo.<br />
[[File:AssignmentOverridesBoost.png||thumb|center|600px]]<br />
<br />
When adding overrides for a group, it is possible to have one group override trump another. This is achieved by moving the override up/down on the group overrides page:<br />
[[File:GroupOverrides.png|thumb|center]]<br />
<br />
In this situation, a student in both groups (e.g. Frodo Baggins) will have the override from "The Council of Elrond" applied. By pressing the arrow icons on the right, the override for "The Fellowship" can be moved to the top of the list, and will have higher precedence.<br />
<br />
Note also that if there exists a user override for a student, it will always take precedence over any group overrides.<br />
===Granting extensions===<br />
If an assignment has a deadline, a teacher can grant individual or group assignment extensions by selecting the Edit link next to a particular student or group.<br />
<br />
#To grant an extension, open the assignment<br />
#Click on "View all submissions"<br />
#Locate the student who is to be allowed to submit after the "Cut-off date"To<br />
#Click on the adjacent "Edit" drop down menu and select "Grant extension"<br />
##[[File:grantextension0.png|thumb|center|600px]]<br />
#Set the extension date and time. The student's or group's name is also shown on this screen.<br />
##[[File:grantextension.png||thumb|center|600px]]<br />
#Click on "Save changes".<br />
<br />
===Quick grading===<br />
<br />
'''Quick grading''' allows you to enter numeric grades directly into the grading table, bypassing the more detailed grading interface. Please note:<br />
*if you want to give feedback, you need to use the more detailed Grade interface. <br />
*Quick grading is incompatible with advanced grading e.g. Rubrics, and is not recommended when there are multiple markers. <br />
*'''Submission comments''' are a two-way private conversation between a student and staff and are visible to students immediately i.e. markers use the grading interface to give feedback, not the submission comments.<br />
<br />
To access the Quick Grading interface, from the Grading Summary page click 'View all assignments'; the Grading Table displays. Scroll to bottom of the page to configure Options, and check the box for 'Quick grading'. While you're down there, you can also set the number of assignments to display per page, filter the assignments e.g. to see who has not submitted, unmarked assignments, etc.<br />
<br />
When you are ready to Quick Grade: <br />
<br />
#You can enter grades directly into the grading table. <br />
#Scroll to the bottom of the grading table and click 'Save all quick grading changes'<br />
#A confirmation displays.<br />
<br />
===Grading individual submissions===<br />
If you have enabled File Feedback in the [[Assignment settings]] and wish to upload either the marked student assignment, a completed text based feedback document or audio feedback, click on the green tick in the Grade column (or use the icon in the Edit column and select Grade).<br />
<br />
This brings you to the Student Grading Page where you can give grades, feedback comments and feedback files (if enabled in the [[Assignment settings]]). You can use drag and drop to upload feedback files.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:green tick.jpg|thumb|Green tick]]<br />
|[[File:grade.jpg|thumb|Grading]]<br />
|[[File:feedbackfiles.png|thumb|Feedback files]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====Annotating submissions====<br />
<br />
If the student has uploaded a PDF, docx or odt file, or if you set 'Comment inline' for an online text submission, then their submission will be displayed on the grading screen, allowing you to annotate it (requires [http://www.ghostscript.com/ Ghostscript] for PDF and [[Universal Office Converter (unoconv)|unoconv]] for docx and odt files), using a variety of tools, stamps (if uploaded by the admin) and comments which may be saved to a comments bank. When the annotations are complete, clicking to save the changes will result in it being displayed to the student as part of their feedback. <br />
<br />
[[File:Annotatingsubmissions1.png|thumb|500px|center|Annotating a student's submission]]<br />
<br />
Comments may be added and then saved in a quick list for future use ''(1)'' Click the paper/magnifying glass icon to the right of the page selector to filter comments you have already added to the work''(2)'':<br />
*In the '''Search comments''' pop-up window, enter the term you would like to search for in the '''Filter comments...''' box. <br />
*Clicking on the comment will take you to the part of the paper where that comment has been added.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:NFaddcomment.png|thumb|400px|1.Saving and re-using comments]]<br />
|[[File:NFcommentsearch.png|thumb|400px|2. Accessing comments]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that comments display to students as the marker intends, do instruct students to download the annotated PDF rather than just previewing it. Preview sometimes displays comments in a way which obscures the original text.<br />
<br />
The review panel and / or the grading panel may be collapsed by clicking the icons at the bottom right of the screen.<br />
<br />
[[File:CollapseReviewPanel.png|center]]<br />
<br />
===Controlling when to notify students of graded work===<br />
<br />
====Notifying as you mark====<br />
<br />
If you need to notify individual students, one by one, as you mark, the '''Notify students''' checkbox is available when grading individual submissions. Choose Yes to notify the student immediately or No to grade without notifying the student. Assuming you are not hiding grades in the ways outlined below, then Moodle will send a notification.<br />
<br />
Note: How students receive Moodle notifications depends on your local default settings, and any changes students have made to those.<br />
<br />
[[File:notifystudents.png|center|thumb|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Keeping grades hidden until a release date====<br />
<br />
Or if you need to keep your grades and feedback hidden from students until marking is finalised, and then release them to all students at the same time, there are two alternatives. <br />
<br />
The first is to hide the item in the Gradebook. This way is best if there is only one marker and no exceptional circumstances (i.e. you don't need to keep any students' marks hidden). Use it as follows:<br />
#In your Moodle course '''Settings''', click on '''Grades'''; the Grades page displays.<br />
#Click '''View''', then '''Grader report'''; a grid of participants and gradeable items displays.<br />
#Find the column for the assignment ('''Grade item''') whose grades you wish to hide, and click its Eye/Hide icon; the Eye icon displays with a strikethrough which means the grades are hidden from students.<br />
#To reveal the grades to students, you can either:<br />
##Remind yourself to return here and click the Eye/Show icon again; when it displays without the strikethrough the grades will be shown to students. With this option you need to remember to change the setting at the time.<br />
##Or if you prefer to set a time for the grades to be automatically revealed, click on the Cog/Edit icon to display settings for that grade item, then click the '''Show more''' link to display extra settings. For '''Hidden until''' click its checkbox and configure its date. With this option you need to get your marking done on time (or remember to come in and change the date to give yourself more time).<br />
#To notify students that marks and feedback are available, use e.g. the Announcements forum.<br />
<br />
Note: If you use this approach do communicate with any colleagues and remember to reveal the grades ultimately, since if grades remain hidden they can confuse the final grade calculations.<br />
<br />
The alternative approach to releasing marks to all students at the same time is to enable '''Use marking workflow''' in the Assignment's settings. This way is best where there are multiple markers and/or exceptional circumstances causing you to withhold some marks. Use it as follows:<br />
#Set up your assignment with Marking Workflow enabled (avoid enabling it after marking has started).<br />
#When ready to release marks, click on a link to your Assignment and from its summary page click '''View all submissions'''; a page with the Grading Table displays.<br />
#Scroll down to Options and ensure '''Quick grading''' is enabled by clicking its checkbox; the page reloads with some extra options.<br />
#Also in Options, configure '''Assignments per page''' to display all your assignments, or as many as possible.<br />
#Scroll back up again and click the checkbox in the column heading '''Select'''; all records display selected (and you can deselect any individual records you may need to keep hidden).<br />
#From the '''With selected...''' menu choose '''Set marking workflow state''', then click '''Go''', and confirm if prompted; the Marking workflow state menu displays on a page.<br />
#From the '''Marking workflow state''' menu, choose '''Released'''.<br />
#To have Moodle send students a notification that grades and feedback are available, set '''Notify students''' to Yes.<br />
#Finally '''Save changes'''.<br />
<br />
(If you would like the Moodle Assignment to have a setting for releasing grades and feedback to students please vote for MDL-18722.)<br />
<br />
===Offline marking - downloading and uploading multiple grades and feedback files===<br />
<br />
If you don't have an internet connection or prefer to grade outside Moodle, you can do so (including with anonymous submissions).<br />
These easy stages explained below:<br />
#Download the submissions<br />
#Download the spreadsheet (grading worksheet) to record grades.<br />
#Grade and annotate (if applicable) the submitted work.<br />
#Upload the completed grading worksheet.<br />
#Upload the annotated submissions (if applicable).<br />
<br />
Note:You cannot upload marks and feedback to Moodle if you have enabled Rubrics or Marking Guides.<br />
<br />
====Before you start, enable the multiple file upload settings====<br />
Go to the settings of that assignment.<br />
For Feedback types, ensure that the Moodle Assignment settings, Feedback comments, Feedback files, and Offline grading worksheet are ticked. <br />
<br />
====Downloading student submissions====<br />
<br />
You can download a zip file containing all of the assignment submissions by selecting ‘Download all submissions’ from the 'Grading actions' menu at the top of the grading table, or in the settings menu. <br />
<br />
File submissions will be downloaded in the format uploaded by the student. Online text submissions will be downloaded as html files. Each file in the zip will be named with the student first and last name followed by a unique identifier (not the user ID number).<br />
<br />
If each submission is more than a single file, then submissions may be downloaded in folders by ticking the option 'Download submissions in folders' (below the grading table). Each submission is put in a separate folder, with the folder structure kept for any subfolders, and files are not renamed. Each folder will be named with the student first and last name followed by a unique identifier (not the user ID number).<br />
<br />
You can also download selected assignment submissions (rather than all of them) by selecting the ones you want and then choosing 'With selected....Download selected submissions'.<br />
<br />
====Download the Grading Worksheet to record grades ====<br />
#Next, to download the spreadsheet in which you'll enter the grades and brief comments, return to the Moodle Assignment page and from its Grading action drop-down menu choose Download grading worksheet and save that file (keep its csv file format).<br />
<br />
Note: Helpfully that downloaded worksheet will contain any existing grades and summary comments which have already been given for that assignment i.e. if marking has already started. However, to see pre-existing comments fully you may need to set your spreadsheet to 'wrap text' within cells.<br />
<br />
====Grade and annotate (if applicable) the submitted work====<br />
After downloading the submissions and the grading worksheet:<br />
#Open a downloaded assignment file to assess it. <br />
#Open the csv file in a spreadsheet editor e.g. Excel. <br />
#For that student's record (if anonymous, a number corresponding to the submission file name will display), enter grades in the Grade column and summary comments in the Feedback comments column for each student. <br />
#Leave the other data untouched unless you know exactly what you're doing.<br />
#Repeat as needed.<br />
#Save the csv file.<br />
<br />
Note: Take care to enter data in the correct column of the spreadsheet.<br />
<br />
If you are annotating the submissions to return to students as feedback:<br />
#Open a downloaded submission.<br />
#Carry out your annotations.<br />
#Save it in its original place i.e. the folder corresponding to that student.<br />
#Repeat as needed.<br />
If you have separate feedback files to upload to students:<br />
#Save these within that student's folder.<br />
#You can give students multiple feedback files in this way e.g. annotations on their work along with a separate pro forma.<br />
<br />
Note: Don't change the name or location of the folder - Moodle needs this information to allocate the files correctly.<br />
<br />
Compress (zip) all the feedback files:<br />
<br />
#Locate the folder containing the feedback files in Moodle, select them all (Ctrl+A within the folder), then zip them: <br />
##Windows: Right click one of the selected files and Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.<br />
##Mac: Right Click (or Ctrl+click) one of the selected files and click Compress.<br />
#They are now ready for upload (see below).<br />
<br />
====Upload the completed grading worksheet====<br />
When you are ready to upload grades and summary feedback:<br />
#Click on the assignment name on the Moodle course homepage to access the summary page and click '''View/grade all submissions'''.<br />
#From the Grading action drop-down menu choose '''Upload grading worksheet'''.<br />
#Click '''Choose a file...''' and upload the grading worksheet to Moodle, or drag the csv file to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#There is a checkbox to '''overwrite records that have been modified more recently in Moodle than in the spreadsheet''' - only check this if you want to spreadsheet to overwrite all Moodle records, including ones made more recently than the spreadsheet.<br />
#Click '''Upload grading worksheet'''; a Confirmation box displays the students grades and feedback that will be imported - check this carefully.<br />
#If you are ready to proceed, click '''Confirm'''; a summary of updates displays.<br />
#Click '''Continue'''.<br />
<br />
====Upload feedback files (if applicable)====<br />
#Click on the assignment name on the Moodle course homepage to access the summary page and click '''View/grade all submissions'''.<br />
#From the Grading action drop-down menu choose '''Upload multiple feedback files in a zip'''.<br />
#Click '''Choose a file...''' and upload the zipped assignments file to Moodle, or drag the compressed/zipped file to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#Click '''Import feedback file(s)'''.<br />
#The Confirmation box will list all the feedback files and student names that will be imported.<br />
#Click '''Confirm'''; the next screen summarises the changes.<br />
#Click '''Continue'''.<br />
#From the page containing the Grading Table, you can check your feedback files by enabling Quick grading (see Options at the bottom of that page) and scrolling horizontally, if needed.<br />
<br />
For an assignment with no file submissions, see the discussion [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=336438 upload feedback files without student file submissions] for details of what to do.<br />
<br />
===Give the same feedback file to multiple students===<br />
If you have high level feedback you want to give to an entire cohort, it is generally a good idea to give this feedback in the context of the assignment, rather than e.g. separately via a Forum. Moodle allows you to select some or all students and attach a single, common feedback file to their assignment feedback. This common feedback will appear to each student along with any other individual feedback files you have prepared for each. <br />
#Prepare the single file of feedback.<br />
#Click on the link to the Assignment; its summary page displays.<br />
#Click '''View all submissions'''; the assignment's Grading Table displays.<br />
#Use the checkboxes to select all or some students to receive the feedback (you may first prefer to configure the Grading Table to show as many students as possible on a single page).<br />
#Underneath the Grading Table click the '''With selected...''' menu, choose '''Send feedback files''', then click '''Go'''; a page displays a list of selected students above a file upload area.<br />
#Upload the file of feedback you prepapred, or drag it to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#Click '''Send feedback files'''; the Grading Table displays again.<br />
#Check your file is in place by scrolling horizontally to the '''Feedback files''' column.<br />
<br />
==Which type of assignment submission suits you best?==<br />
<br />
===You want students to type shorter or longer responses directly online===<br />
<br />
*Set ''Online text'' to Yes. This works well for younger children who will only manage a sentence or two and works just as well for higher education students who write more. <br />
**Advantage - quick for the student to get started; no need to use a word-processing program and upload the file. The text is saved on a regular basis so it will be preserved if the student loses the page for some reason.<br />
**Disadvantage: if the word count is expected to be large, setting ''Online text'' to No and ''File submission'' to Yes might be a better option.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit work you can download in a specified program===<br />
<br />
*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, set the number of files you will allow using the ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' setting and the file sizes by using the '' Maximum submission size'' setting.<br />
**Advantage - better than students emailing work as the whole class's work is collated in one space on your course. Markers can provide comments directly on the student work.<br />
**Advantage - with "Attempts reopened" enabled, teachers can see the progression through various drafts of a student's work.<br />
**Disadvantage - assignments must downloaded to be viewed (but they can be [[Assignment_FAQ| downloaded in bulk]]) and the teacher needs the appropriate program to open them.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit files at different times for a project===<br />
<br />
*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, and use ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' to set the maximum number of separate files they can upload<br />
**Advantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading so they get a single grade.<br />
**Disadvantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading - so they can only have a single grade!<br />
<br />
===You want students to write a response to a video/sound file/image===<br />
<br />
*Set up an assignment allowing ''online text'' submission and get students to use the Moodle media icon to add video/sound/image files. <br />
<br />
===You want students to answer a series of questions on a video/sound file/image===<br />
*Investigate the [[Quiz]] module. Assignments are really just for a single question.<br />
<br />
===You want to grade work students have done offline===<br />
*Uncheck the submission types when setting up the assignment. Students won't be required to do anything but you can use the assignment to grade them for work done outside of Moodle.<br />
<br />
===You want to view, comment on and send back students' assignments===<br />
<br />
*Set up an assignment allowing ''file submissions''.<br />
**Advantage: useful for teachers who like using the "comment" options in word-processing programs for example. If you have Ghostscript enabled on your server and the students upload PDF files, you can annotate them inline. See the section [[Using Assignment#Annotating PDF files| Annotating PDF files]] below.<br />
**Disadvantage: if students upload other file types, you have to download them, comment and then re-upload them.<br />
<br />
===You want students to send you a comment or note along with their uploaded work===<br />
<br />
*Although previous versions of Moodle allowed the ''Submission comments'' submission plugin to be toggled, this is no longer the case. If [[Comments#Enabling_comments|comments are enabled site-wide]], students will be able to add submission comments; if comments are disabled site-wide, students will not be given the option to add submission comments.<br />
<br />
===You want to allow students to redraft and decide when to submit the work===<br />
<br />
*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to Yes. Students can then control when their draft work is submitted to the teacher. <br />
<br />
===You want students to keep an ongoing journal or do an iterative assignment===<br />
<br />
*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to No. Students can continue to make changes to their assignment and at no point do they 'submit'. If the work will be graded at some point it is recommended that either ''Prevent late submissions'' is set to Yes to ensure that no changes can be made after the due date, or [[Using_Assignment#Submission_status| all submissions are locked]] when grading commences to ensure that the work is not altered during grading.<br />
**Advantage: the work remains in one place and is constantly improved, graded (if needed) and improved again. <br />
**Disadvantage: there is no record/history of previous attempts (such as with the [[Wiki]]). The online text assignment does not replicate the display of a journal or blog where each new entry is additional to the previous ones.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit work in groups===<br />
<br />
*In the settings, set "Students submit in groups" to Yes. If you just do this, then once one student has submitted, the assignment will be flagged as submitted even if the others haven't contributed. If you want to ensure everyone has an input, set "Require students click submit button" to Yes and then change "Require all group members to submit" to Yes. The assignment will only be classed as submitted when each member has contributed, and once one student has submitted, the remaining members's names will be displayed for the group to see who still needs to add their input.<br />
<br />
===You want to grade students' work anonymously===<br />
*In the settings, choose "Blind marking". When students submit assignments, their names will be replaced by randomly-generated participant numbers so you will not know who is who. Note that this is not '''totally''' blind marking because you can reveal their identities in the assignment settings and you can work out identities from the logs - so this might not be suitable if your establishment has very precise privacy requirements.<br />
<br />
===You want to read and grade student assignments offline===<br />
*In the settings, choose "Offline grading worksheet". When students have submitted, click "View/grade all submissions" and you can download their assignments from the link "Download all submissions" and download the grading sheet from the link "Download grading worksheet". You can then edit grades and re-upload the grading worksheet. You can also upload multiple feedback files in a zip from this drop down menu. See [[Assignment settings]] for an explanation of how to use the "upload multiple feedback files as zip" feature.<br />
<br />
===You want to hide students' grades until a time of your choosing.===<br />
Use 'marking workflow' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]<br />
<br />
===You want to moderate other colleagues' marking or allocate certain teachers to certain students===<br />
Use 'marking allocation' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]<br />
<br />
==Keeping records (archiving, exporting, backing up)==<br />
When students unenrol from a Moodle area, their records become invisible through the Gradebook interface. In order to have the information to hand, departments or course teaching teams may need systems in place to keep their own records for the data retention period required in their particular context. There are two separate procedures for exporting student submissions and marks.<br />
<br />
To export marks (with or without feedback):<br />
#Go to your course administration block and click Grades.<br />
#From the Grader Report Settings block, select Export; a menu displays.<br />
#From the menu, if you need easy viewing and running calculations you probably want to select one of the spreadsheet formats; a page of export settings loads<br />
#Use the Visible Groups pulldown menu to limit the export to specific groups, as required<br />
#In Options, you indicate whether feedback comments are included<br />
#In Grade Items To Be Included lists you can, if required, omit particular Activities from the report<br />
#When you've finished with the settings, click on Submit; a preview of your export displays<br />
#Click on Download to export to the format you chose, and save the file.<br />
<br />
To download the original student submissions:<br />
#In your course area, click the link to the Assignment whose submissions you want to download.<br />
#Click on the link to View/Grade all submissions; the Grading Table will load.<br />
#Click the link to 'Download all submissions' and save the file.<br />
==Tips and Tricks==<br />
* Want to use an Assignment activity again in another Moodle site? Use the [[Activity_backup| backup and restore]] options. <br />
*Want to use an Assignment activity in another course you teach? Use the [[Import_course_data| Import function]] in the course administration block.<br />
*Moodle will sometimes appear not to be uploading a resubmitted assignment - you seem to be downloading the original assignment. This is a cache issue, in short, go to ''"Tools > Clear Recent History"'' in Firefox or ''"Tools > Delete Browsing History > Delete Temporary Files"'' in Windows Explorer. The newer file will then appear.<br />

==What options are there for submitting work in Moodle?==<br />
The standard ways students can submit assignments are:<br />
* File submissions (students submit a file for assessment)<br />
* Online text (students can type their responses directly in Moodle)<br />
* Submission comments<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
# It is also possible to use the assignment module for grading an "offline assignment", ie, one where work is done outside of Moodle. This is done by simply unchecking the above three options.<br />
# If you're not sure which assignment type best suits your needs, look at the section below [[#Which submission type suits you best?]]<br />
<br />
==How do students submit their assignments?==<br />
The first page students will see when they click on the assignment activity link from the course page will display the assignment name, description and the submission status. The first time a student views the assignment it will look like this:<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:statuses.jpg|thumb|Student view of assignment]] <br />
|}<br />
The submission status section includes:<br />
*'''Submission status''' <br />
*'''Grading status'''<br />
*Due date<br />
*Time remaining<br />
*Last modified<br />
*Submission details<br />
<br />
As they progress through the assignment the Submission status and Grading status will update and the Last modified date will appear.<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:submission statuses graded.jpg|thumb|Example of submitted and graded assignment]] <br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the student uploaded a file which the teacher has annotated, this will be made available in the feedback section. The student can search through the document and filter specific comments.<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:26pdfstudentgraded.png|thumb|Student view of graded pdf file]]<br />
|[[File:26searchcomments.png|thumb|Searching and filtering comments in annotated pdf]]<br />
|}<br />
Submission statuses include:<br />
<br />
*Nothing submitted for this assignment<br />
*Draft (not submitted)<br />
*Submitted for grading<br />
<br />
Grading statuses include:<br />
<br />
*Not graded<br />
*Graded<br />
<br />
===File submission===<br />
To submit a file submission, students complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the file upload page.<br />
# Upload the relevant file into the submission. They are able to ‘drag and drop’ the file into the submission box.<br />
# Click ‘Save Changes’.<br />
<br />
There should now be a Last modified date and the file(s) uploaded will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.<br />
<br />
# If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.<br />
# Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’.<br />
<br />
Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:file upload.jpg|thumb|Student view when adding a submission]]<br />
|[[File:file uploaded.jpg|thumb|Student view once file is uploaded]]<br />
|[[File:submit button.jpg|thumb|Student view when submitting assignment]]<br />
|}<br />
Note: Depending on how the assignment is setup students may see '''both''' a file submission page and an online text editor.<br />
<br />
===Online text===<br />
To submit online text, students complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the online text editor page. <br />
# Type the relevant text into the [[Text_editor|text editor]], or paste from a previously written file.<br />
# Click ‘Save Changes’.<br />
<br />
There should now be a Last modified date and the first 100 characters entered will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.<br />
<br />
# If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.<br />
# Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’.<br />
<br />
Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:online text entered.jpg|thumb|Online text entered]]<br />
|[[File:submit button online text.jpg|thumb|Submitting assignment]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Submission comments===<br />
Depending on how the assignment has been setup, there may be a section where students can leave submission comments.<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:student comments.jpg|thumb|Student comments]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Grading and feedback==<br />
When students have submitted their assignments, they can be accessed by clicking on the assignment activity. This will bring up the Grading Summary page.<br />
<br />
The Grading Summary page displays a summary of the assignment, including; number of participants, number of drafts, number of submitted assignments, due date and time remaining.<br />
<br />
Clicking 'Grade' will take you to the first student in the list so you can start grading individually. Clicking 'View all submissions' will take you to the grading table where you see all students.<br />
<br />
The Grading Table contains columns of information about the student, the status of their submission, a link to grade their submission, a link to each submission and feedback comments and files (if enabled). <br />
<br />
===Filtering submissions===<br />
<br />
A dropdown menu accessed from the 'Options' section allows you to filter submissions so you can for example quickly see which students have not submitted yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:assignmentfilter.png]]<br />
<br />
===Allocating submissions to markers===<br />
If you need to divide submissions between you can apply Groups to the Assignment and let markers know which Group(s) to mark. Note that because Group membership is not itself anonymised, this may make anonymised submissions that bit less anonymous, though as long as the Groups aren't very small this should be acceptable.<br />
<br />
An alternative is to use Marking Allocation - this allows anyone with a Tutor role to allocate one marker to each submission. This works particularly well if marking is allocated by subject specialism.<br />
<br />
===Submission status===<br />
If you will be assigning grades to student work, you may want to take note of the submission status before you begin the marking process. If you have required students click the Submit button, you may find that some submissions are still marked as Draft (not submitted), meaning the student has either uploaded a file(s) or entered some text, but has not clicked ‘Submit assignment’. <br />
<br />
If it's after the due date and you are about to commencing marking that you use ‘Prevent submission changes’ to stop students from making changes to their assignment. You can do this one by one by using the icon in the Edit column.<br />
<br />
Or you can select two or more students by putting a tick in the select column and going to 'Lock submissions’ from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.<br />
<br />
Likewise you can also revert a student's submission to draft if they have uploaded the incorrect file. Instead of selecting ‘Prevent submission changes’ select ‘Revert the submission to draft’, or place ticks against selected students and choose 'Revert the submission to draft status' from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:submission statuses.jpg|thumb|Submission statuses]]<br />
|[[File:prevent submission changes dropdown.jpg|thumb|Prevent submission changes dropdown]]<br />
|[[File:lock submissions.jpg|thumb|Lock submissions]]<br />
|[[File:revert to draft.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft]]<br />
|[[File:revert submission to draft status.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft status]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the submission setting 'Attempts reopened' is set to 'Automatically until pass' and a submission is graded below the grade to pass, then then submission is automatically unlocked when the grade is saved. Similarly, if the submission setting 'Attempts reopened' is set to Manually, and a teacher selects 'Allow another attempt, then the submission is automatically unlocked. (Prior to 3.0.3, the submission need to be manually unlocked.)<br />
<br />
===Overriding assignment deadlines===<br />
{{New features}}<br />
A teacher can override a deadline for an individual or group from the assignment settings link (gear menu in the [[Boost theme]] or Assignment administration other themes.) See the screencast [https://youtu.be/5Ghe7rueIME Assignment overrides] for a demo.<br />
[[File:AssignmentOverridesBoost.png||thumb|center|600px]]<br />
<br />
When adding overrides for a group, it is possible to have one group override trump another. This is achieved by moving the override up/down on the group overrides page:<br />
[[File:GroupOverrides.png|thumb|cente]]<br />
<br />
In this situation, a student in both groups (e.g. Frodo Baggins) will have the override from "The Council of Elrond" applied. By pressing the arrow icons on the right, the override for "The Fellowship" can be moved to the top of the list, and will have higher precedence.<br />
<br />
Note also that if there exists a user override for a student, it will always take precedence over any group overrides.<br />
===Granting extensions===<br />
If an assignment has a deadline, a teacher can grant individual or group assignment extensions by selecting the Edit link next to a particular student or group.<br />
<br />
#To grant an extension, open the assignment<br />
#Click on "View all submissions"<br />
#Locate the student who is to be allowed to submit after the "Cut-off date"To<br />
#Click on the adjacent "Edit" drop down menu and select "Grant extension"<br />
##[[File:grantextension0.png|thumb|center|600px]]<br />
#Set the extension date and time. The student's or group's name is also shown on this screen.<br />
##[[File:grantextension.png||thumb|center|600px]]<br />
#Click on "Save changes".<br />
<br />
===Quick grading===<br />
<br />
'''Quick grading''' allows you to enter numeric grades directly into the grading table, bypassing the more detailed grading interface. Please note:<br />
*if you want to give feedback, you need to use the more detailed Grade interface. <br />
*Quick grading is incompatible with advanced grading e.g. Rubrics, and is not recommended when there are multiple markers. <br />
*'''Submission comments''' are a two-way private conversation between a student and staff and are visible to students immediately i.e. markers use the grading interface to give feedback, not the submission comments.<br />
<br />
To access the Quick Grading interface, from the Grading Summary page click 'View all assignments'; the Grading Table displays. Scroll to bottom of the page to configure Options, and check the box for 'Quick grading'. While you're down there, you can also set the number of assignments to display per page, filter the assignments e.g. to see who has not submitted, unmarked assignments, etc.<br />
<br />
When you are ready to Quick Grade: <br />
<br />
#You can enter grades directly into the grading table. <br />
#Scroll to the bottom of the grading table and click 'Save all quick grading changes'<br />
#A confirmation displays.<br />
<br />
===Grading individual submissions===<br />
If you have enabled File Feedback in the [[Assignment settings]] and wish to upload either the marked student assignment, a completed text based feedback document or audio feedback, click on the green tick in the Grade column (or use the icon in the Edit column and select Grade).<br />
<br />
This brings you to the Student Grading Page where you can give grades, feedback comments and feedback files (if enabled in the [[Assignment settings]]). You can use drag and drop to upload feedback files.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:green tick.jpg|thumb|Green tick]]<br />
|[[File:grade.jpg|thumb|Grading]]<br />
|[[File:feedbackfiles.png|thumb|Feedback files]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====Annotating submissions====<br />
<br />
If the student has uploaded a PDF, docx or odt file, or if you set 'Comment inline' for an online text submission, then their submission will be displayed on the grading screen, allowing you to annotate it (requires [http://www.ghostscript.com/ Ghostscript] for PDF and [[Universal Office Converter (unoconv)|unoconv]] for docx and odt files), using a variety of tools, stamps (if uploaded by the admin) and comments which may be saved to a comments bank. When the annotations are complete, clicking to save the changes will result in it being displayed to the student as part of their feedback. <br />
<br />
[[File:Annotatingsubmissions1.png|thumb|500px|center|Annotating a student's submission]]<br />
<br />
Comments may be added and then saved in a quick list for future use ''(1)'' Click the paper/magnifying glass icon to the right of the page selector to filter comments you have already added to the work''(2)'':<br />
*In the '''Search comments''' pop-up window, enter the term you would like to search for in the '''Filter comments...''' box. <br />
*Clicking on the comment will take you to the part of the paper where that comment has been added.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:NFaddcomment.png|thumb|400px|1.Saving and re-using comments]]<br />
|[[File:NFcommentsearch.png|thumb|400px|2. Accessing comments]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that comments display to students as the marker intends, do instruct students to download the annotated PDF rather than just previewing it. Preview sometimes displays comments in a way which obscures the original text.<br />
<br />
The review panel and / or the grading panel may be collapsed by clicking the icons at the bottom right of the screen.<br />
<br />
[[File:CollapseReviewPanel.png|center]]<br />
<br />
===Controlling when to notify students of graded work===<br />
<br />
====Notifying as you mark====<br />
<br />
If you need to notify individual students, one by one, as you mark, the '''Notify students''' checkbox is available when grading individual submissions. Choose Yes to notify the student immediately or No to grade without notifying the student. Assuming you are not hiding grades in the ways outlined below, then Moodle will send a notification.<br />
<br />
Note: How students receive Moodle notifications depends on your local default settings, and any changes students have made to those.<br />
<br />
[[File:notifystudents.png|center|thumb|500px]]<br />
<br />
====Keeping grades hidden until a release date====<br />
<br />
Or if you need to keep your grades and feedback hidden from students until marking is finalised, and then release them to all students at the same time, there are two alternatives. <br />
<br />
The first is to hide the item in the Gradebook. This way is best if there is only one marker and no exceptional circumstances (i.e. you don't need to keep any students' marks hidden). Use it as follows:<br />
#In your Moodle course '''Settings''', click on '''Grades'''; the Grades page displays.<br />
#Click '''View''', then '''Grader report'''; a grid of participants and gradeable items displays.<br />
#Find the column for the assignment ('''Grade item''') whose grades you wish to hide, and click its Eye/Hide icon; the Eye icon displays with a strikethrough which means the grades are hidden from students.<br />
#To reveal the grades to students, you can either:<br />
##Remind yourself to return here and click the Eye/Show icon again; when it displays without the strikethrough the grades will be shown to students. With this option you need to remember to change the setting at the time.<br />
##Or if you prefer to set a time for the grades to be automatically revealed, click on the Cog/Edit icon to display settings for that grade item, then click the '''Show more''' link to display extra settings. For '''Hidden until''' click its checkbox and configure its date. With this option you need to get your marking done on time (or remember to come in and change the date to give yourself more time).<br />
#To notify students that marks and feedback are available, use e.g. the Announcements forum.<br />
<br />
Note: If you use this approach do communicate with any colleagues and remember to reveal the grades ultimately, since if grades remain hidden they can confuse the final grade calculations.<br />
<br />
The alternative approach to releasing marks to all students at the same time is to enable '''Use marking workflow''' in the Assignment's settings. This way is best where there are multiple markers and/or exceptional circumstances causing you to withhold some marks. Use it as follows:<br />
#Set up your assignment with Marking Workflow enabled (avoid enabling it after marking has started).<br />
#When ready to release marks, click on a link to your Assignment and from its summary page click '''View all submissions'''; a page with the Grading Table displays.<br />
#Scroll down to Options and ensure '''Quick grading''' is enabled by clicking its checkbox; the page reloads with some extra options.<br />
#Also in Options, configure '''Assignments per page''' to display all your assignments, or as many as possible.<br />
#Scroll back up again and click the checkbox in the column heading '''Select'''; all records display selected (and you can deselect any individual records you may need to keep hidden).<br />
#From the '''With selected...''' menu choose '''Set marking workflow state''', then click '''Go''', and confirm if prompted; the Marking workflow state menu displays on a page.<br />
#From the '''Marking workflow state''' menu, choose '''Released'''.<br />
#To have Moodle send students a notification that grades and feedback are available, set '''Notify students''' to Yes.<br />
#Finally '''Save changes'''.<br />
<br />
(If you would like the Moodle Assignment to have a setting for releasing grades and feedback to students please vote for MDL-18722.)<br />
<br />
===Offline marking - downloading and uploading multiple grades and feedback files===<br />
<br />
If you don't have an internet connection or prefer to grade outside Moodle, you can do so (including with anonymous submissions).<br />
These easy stages explained below:<br />
#Download the submissions<br />
#Download the spreadsheet (grading worksheet) to record grades.<br />
#Grade and annotate (if applicable) the submitted work.<br />
#Upload the completed grading worksheet.<br />
#Upload the annotated submissions (if applicable).<br />
<br />
Note:You cannot upload marks and feedback to Moodle if you have enabled Rubrics or Marking Guides.<br />
<br />
====Before you start, enable the multiple file upload settings====<br />
Go to the settings of that assignment.<br />
For Feedback types, ensure that the Moodle Assignment settings, Feedback comments, Feedback files, and Offline grading worksheet are ticked. <br />
<br />
====Downloading student submissions====<br />
<br />
You can download a zip file containing all of the assignment submissions by selecting ‘Download all submissions’ from the 'Grading actions' menu at the top of the grading table, or in the settings menu. <br />
<br />
File submissions will be downloaded in the format uploaded by the student. Online text submissions will be downloaded as html files. Each file in the zip will be named with the student first and last name followed by a unique identifier (not the user ID number).<br />
<br />
If each submission is more than a single file, then submissions may be downloaded in folders by ticking the option 'Download submissions in folders' (below the grading table). Each submission is put in a separate folder, with the folder structure kept for any subfolders, and files are not renamed. Each folder will be named with the student first and last name followed by a unique identifier (not the user ID number).<br />
<br />
You can also download selected assignment submissions (rather than all of them) by selecting the ones you want and then choosing 'With selected....Download selected submissions'.<br />
<br />
====Download the Grading Worksheet to record grades ====<br />
#Next, to download the spreadsheet in which you'll enter the grades and brief comments, return to the Moodle Assignment page and from its Grading action drop-down menu choose Download grading worksheet and save that file (keep its csv file format).<br />
<br />
Note: Helpfully that downloaded worksheet will contain any existing grades and summary comments which have already been given for that assignment i.e. if marking has already started. However, to see pre-existing comments fully you may need to set your spreadsheet to 'wrap text' within cells.<br />
<br />
====Grade and annotate (if applicable) the submitted work====<br />
After downloading the submissions and the grading worksheet:<br />
#Open a downloaded assignment file to assess it. <br />
#Open the csv file in a spreadsheet editor e.g. Excel. <br />
#For that student's record (if anonymous, a number corresponding to the submission file name will display), enter grades in the Grade column and summary comments in the Feedback comments column for each student. <br />
#Leave the other data untouched unless you know exactly what you're doing.<br />
#Repeat as needed.<br />
#Save the csv file.<br />
<br />
Note: Take care to enter data in the correct column of the spreadsheet.<br />
<br />
If you are annotating the submissions to return to students as feedback:<br />
#Open a downloaded submission.<br />
#Carry out your annotations.<br />
#Save it in its original place i.e. the folder corresponding to that student.<br />
#Repeat as needed.<br />
If you have separate feedback files to upload to students:<br />
#Save these within that student's folder.<br />
#You can give students multiple feedback files in this way e.g. annotations on their work along with a separate pro forma.<br />
<br />
Note: Don't change the name or location of the folder - Moodle needs this information to allocate the files correctly.<br />
<br />
Compress (zip) all the feedback files:<br />
<br />
#Locate the folder containing the feedback files in Moodle, select them all (Ctrl+A within the folder), then zip them: <br />
##Windows: Right click one of the selected files and Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.<br />
##Mac: Right Click (or Ctrl+click) one of the selected files and click Compress.<br />
#They are now ready for upload (see below).<br />
<br />
====Upload the completed grading worksheet====<br />
When you are ready to upload grades and summary feedback:<br />
#Click on the assignment name on the Moodle course homepage to access the summary page and click '''View/grade all submissions'''.<br />
#From the Grading action drop-down menu choose '''Upload grading worksheet'''.<br />
#Click '''Choose a file...''' and upload the grading worksheet to Moodle, or drag the csv file to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#There is a checkbox to '''overwrite records that have been modified more recently in Moodle than in the spreadsheet''' - only check this if you want to spreadsheet to overwrite all Moodle records, including ones made more recently than the spreadsheet.<br />
#Click '''Upload grading worksheet'''; a Confirmation box displays the students grades and feedback that will be imported - check this carefully.<br />
#If you are ready to proceed, click '''Confirm'''; a summary of updates displays.<br />
#Click '''Continue'''.<br />
<br />
====Upload feedback files (if applicable)====<br />
#Click on the assignment name on the Moodle course homepage to access the summary page and click '''View/grade all submissions'''.<br />
#From the Grading action drop-down menu choose '''Upload multiple feedback files in a zip'''.<br />
#Click '''Choose a file...''' and upload the zipped assignments file to Moodle, or drag the compressed/zipped file to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#Click '''Import feedback file(s)'''.<br />
#The Confirmation box will list all the feedback files and student names that will be imported.<br />
#Click '''Confirm'''; the next screen summarises the changes.<br />
#Click '''Continue'''.<br />
#From the page containing the Grading Table, you can check your feedback files by enabling Quick grading (see Options at the bottom of that page) and scrolling horizontally, if needed.<br />
<br />
For an assignment with no file submissions, see the discussion [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=336438 upload feedback files without student file submissions] for details of what to do.<br />
<br />
===Give the same feedback file to multiple students===<br />
If you have high level feedback you want to give to an entire cohort, it is generally a good idea to give this feedback in the context of the assignment, rather than e.g. separately via a Forum. Moodle allows you to select some or all students and attach a single, common feedback file to their assignment feedback. This common feedback will appear to each student along with any other individual feedback files you have prepared for each. <br />
#Prepare the single file of feedback.<br />
#Click on the link to the Assignment; its summary page displays.<br />
#Click '''View all submissions'''; the assignment's Grading Table displays.<br />
#Use the checkboxes to select all or some students to receive the feedback (you may first prefer to configure the Grading Table to show as many students as possible on a single page).<br />
#Underneath the Grading Table click the '''With selected...''' menu, choose '''Send feedback files''', then click '''Go'''; a page displays a list of selected students above a file upload area.<br />
#Upload the file of feedback you prepapred, or drag it to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#Click '''Send feedback files'''; the Grading Table displays again.<br />
#Check your file is in place by scrolling horizontally to the '''Feedback files''' column.<br />
<br />
==Which type of assignment submission suits you best?==<br />
<br />
===You want students to type shorter or longer responses directly online===<br />
<br />
*Set ''Online text'' to Yes. This works well for younger children who will only manage a sentence or two and works just as well for higher education students who write more. <br />
**Advantage - quick for the student to get started; no need to use a word-processing program and upload the file. The text is saved on a regular basis so it will be preserved if the student loses the page for some reason.<br />
**Disadvantage: if the word count is expected to be large, setting ''Online text'' to No and ''File submission'' to Yes might be a better option.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit work you can download in a specified program===<br />
<br />
*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, set the number of files you will allow using the ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' setting and the file sizes by using the '' Maximum submission size'' setting.<br />
**Advantage - better than students emailing work as the whole class's work is collated in one space on your course. Markers can provide comments directly on the student work.<br />
**Advantage - with "Attempts reopened" enabled, teachers can see the progression through various drafts of a student's work.<br />
**Disadvantage - assignments must downloaded to be viewed (but they can be [[Assignment_FAQ| downloaded in bulk]]) and the teacher needs the appropriate program to open them.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit files at different times for a project===<br />
<br />
*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, and use ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' to set the maximum number of separate files they can upload<br />
**Advantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading so they get a single grade.<br />
**Disadvantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading - so they can only have a single grade!<br />
<br />
===You want students to write a response to a video/sound file/image===<br />
<br />
*Set up an assignment allowing ''online text'' submission and get students to use the Moodle media icon to add video/sound/image files. <br />
<br />
===You want students to answer a series of questions on a video/sound file/image===<br />
*Investigate the [[Quiz]] module. Assignments are really just for a single question.<br />
<br />
===You want to grade work students have done offline===<br />
*Uncheck the submission types when setting up the assignment. Students won't be required to do anything but you can use the assignment to grade them for work done outside of Moodle.<br />
<br />
===You want to view, comment on and send back students' assignments===<br />
<br />
*Set up an assignment allowing ''file submissions''.<br />
**Advantage: useful for teachers who like using the "comment" options in word-processing programs for example. If you have Ghostscript enabled on your server and the students upload PDF files, you can annotate them inline. See the section [[Using Assignment#Annotating PDF files| Annotating PDF files]] below.<br />
**Disadvantage: if students upload other file types, you have to download them, comment and then re-upload them.<br />
<br />
===You want students to send you a comment or note along with their uploaded work===<br />
<br />
*Although previous versions of Moodle allowed the ''Submission comments'' submission plugin to be toggled, this is no longer the case. If [[Comments#Enabling_comments|comments are enabled site-wide]], students will be able to add submission comments; if comments are disabled site-wide, students will not be given the option to add submission comments.<br />
<br />
===You want to allow students to redraft and decide when to submit the work===<br />
<br />
*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to Yes. Students can then control when their draft work is submitted to the teacher. <br />
<br />
===You want students to keep an ongoing journal or do an iterative assignment===<br />
<br />
*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to No. Students can continue to make changes to their assignment and at no point do they 'submit'. If the work will be graded at some point it is recommended that either ''Prevent late submissions'' is set to Yes to ensure that no changes can be made after the due date, or [[Using_Assignment#Submission_status| all submissions are locked]] when grading commences to ensure that the work is not altered during grading.<br />
**Advantage: the work remains in one place and is constantly improved, graded (if needed) and improved again. <br />
**Disadvantage: there is no record/history of previous attempts (such as with the [[Wiki]]). The online text assignment does not replicate the display of a journal or blog where each new entry is additional to the previous ones.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit work in groups===<br />
<br />
*In the settings, set "Students submit in groups" to Yes. If you just do this, then once one student has submitted, the assignment will be flagged as submitted even if the others haven't contributed. If you want to ensure everyone has an input, set "Require students click submit button" to Yes and then change "Require all group members to submit" to Yes. The assignment will only be classed as submitted when each member has contributed, and once one student has submitted, the remaining members's names will be displayed for the group to see who still needs to add their input.<br />
<br />
===You want to grade students' work anonymously===<br />
*In the settings, choose "Blind marking". When students submit assignments, their names will be replaced by randomly-generated participant numbers so you will not know who is who. Note that this is not '''totally''' blind marking because you can reveal their identities in the assignment settings and you can work out identities from the logs - so this might not be suitable if your establishment has very precise privacy requirements.<br />
<br />
===You want to read and grade student assignments offline===<br />
*In the settings, choose "Offline grading worksheet". When students have submitted, click "View/grade all submissions" and you can download their assignments from the link "Download all submissions" and download the grading sheet from the link "Download grading worksheet". You can then edit grades and re-upload the grading worksheet. You can also upload multiple feedback files in a zip from this drop down menu. See [[Assignment settings]] for an explanation of how to use the "upload multiple feedback files as zip" feature.<br />
<br />
===You want to hide students' grades until a time of your choosing.===<br />
Use 'marking workflow' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]<br />
<br />
===You want to moderate other colleagues' marking or allocate certain teachers to certain students===<br />
Use 'marking allocation' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]<br />
<br />
==Keeping records (archiving, exporting, backing up)==<br />
When students unenrol from a Moodle area, their records become invisible through the Gradebook interface. In order to have the information to hand, departments or course teaching teams may need systems in place to keep their own records for the data retention period required in their particular context. There are two separate procedures for exporting student submissions and marks.<br />
<br />
To export marks (with or without feedback):<br />
#Go to your course administration block and click Grades.<br />
#From the Grader Report Settings block, select Export; a menu displays.<br />
#From the menu, if you need easy viewing and running calculations you probably want to select one of the spreadsheet formats; a page of export settings loads<br />
#Use the Visible Groups pulldown menu to limit the export to specific groups, as required<br />
#In Options, you indicate whether feedback comments are included<br />
#In Grade Items To Be Included lists you can, if required, omit particular Activities from the report<br />
#When you've finished with the settings, click on Submit; a preview of your export displays<br />
#Click on Download to export to the format you chose, and save the file.<br />
<br />
To download the original student submissions:<br />
#In your course area, click the link to the Assignment whose submissions you want to download.<br />
#Click on the link to View/Grade all submissions; the Grading Table will load.<br />
#Click the link to 'Download all submissions' and save the file.<br />
==Tips and Tricks==<br />
* Want to use an Assignment activity again in another Moodle site? Use the [[Activity_backup| backup and restore]] options. <br />
*Want to use an Assignment activity in another course you teach? Use the [[Import_course_data| Import function]] in the course administration block.<br />
*Moodle will sometimes appear not to be uploading a resubmitted assignment - you seem to be downloading the original assignment. This is a cache issue, in short, go to ''"Tools > Clear Recent History"'' in Firefox or ''"Tools > Delete Browsing History > Delete Temporary Files"'' in Windows Explorer. The newer file will then appear.<br />

==What options are there for submitting work in Moodle?==<br />
The standard ways students can submit assignments are:<br />
* File submissions (students submit a file for assessment)<br />
* Online text (students can type their responses directly in Moodle)<br />
* Submission comments<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
# It is also possible to use the assignment module for grading an "offline assignment", ie, one where work is done outside of Moodle. This is done by simply unchecking the above three options.<br />
# If you're not sure which assignment type best suits your needs, look at the section below [[#Which submission type suits you best?]]<br />
<br />
==How do students submit their assignments?==<br />
The first page students will see when they click on the assignment activity link from the course page will display the assignment name, description and the submission status. The first time a student views the assignment it will look like this:<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:statuses.jpg|thumb|Student view of assignment]] <br />
|}<br />
The submission status section includes:<br />
*'''Submission status''' <br />
*'''Grading status'''<br />
*Due date<br />
*Time remaining<br />
*Last modified<br />
*Submission details<br />
<br />
As they progress through the assignment the Submission status and Grading status will update and the Last modified date will appear.<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:submission statuses graded.jpg|thumb|Example of submitted and graded assignment]] <br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the student uploaded a file which the teacher has annotated, this will be made available in the feedback section. The student can search through the document and filter specific comments.<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:26pdfstudentgraded.png|thumb|Student view of graded pdf file]]<br />
|[[File:26searchcomments.png|thumb|Searching and filtering comments in annotated pdf]]<br />
|}<br />
Submission statuses include:<br />
<br />
*Nothing submitted for this assignment<br />
*Draft (not submitted)<br />
*Submitted for grading<br />
<br />
Grading statuses include:<br />
<br />
*Not graded<br />
*Graded<br />
<br />
===File submission===<br />
To submit a file submission, students complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the file upload page.<br />
# Upload the relevant file into the submission. They are able to ‘drag and drop’ the file into the submission box.<br />
# Click ‘Save Changes’.<br />
<br />
There should now be a Last modified date and the file(s) uploaded will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.<br />
<br />
# If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.<br />
# Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’.<br />
<br />
Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:file upload.jpg|thumb|Student view when adding a submission]]<br />
|[[File:file uploaded.jpg|thumb|Student view once file is uploaded]]<br />
|[[File:submit button.jpg|thumb|Student view when submitting assignment]]<br />
|}<br />
Note: Depending on how the assignment is setup students may see '''both''' a file submission page and an online text editor.<br />
<br />
===Online text===<br />
To submit online text, students complete the following steps:<br />
<br />
# Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the online text editor page. <br />
# Type the relevant text into the [[Text_editor|text editor]], or paste from a previously written file.<br />
# Click ‘Save Changes’.<br />
<br />
There should now be a Last modified date and the first 100 characters entered will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.<br />
<br />
# If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.<br />
# Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’.<br />
<br />
Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:online text entered.jpg|thumb|Online text entered]]<br />
|[[File:submit button online text.jpg|thumb|Submitting assignment]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Submission comments===<br />
Depending on how the assignment has been setup, there may be a section where students can leave submission comments.<br />
{|<br />
|[[Image:student comments.jpg|thumb|Student comments]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Grading and feedback==<br />
When students have submitted their assignments, they can be accessed by clicking on the assignment activity. This will bring up the Grading Summary page.<br />
<br />
The Grading Summary page displays a summary of the assignment, including; number of participants, number of drafts, number of submitted assignments, due date and time remaining.<br />
<br />
Clicking 'Grade' will take you to the first student in the list so you can start grading individually. Clicking 'View all submissions' will take you to the grading table where you see all students.<br />
<br />
The Grading Table contains columns of information about the student, the status of their submission, a link to grade their submission, a link to each submission and feedback comments and files (if enabled). <br />
<br />
===Filtering submissions===<br />
<br />
A dropdown menu accessed from the 'Options' section allows you to filter submissions so you can for example quickly see which students have not submitted yet.<br />
<br />
[[File:assignmentfilter.png]]<br />
<br />
===Allocating submissions to markers===<br />
If you need to divide submissions between you can apply Groups to the Assignment and let markers know which Group(s) to mark. Note that because Group membership is not itself anonymised, this may make anonymised submissions that bit less anonymous, though as long as the Groups aren't very small this should be acceptable.<br />
<br />
An alternative is to use Marking Allocation - this allows anyone with a Tutor role to allocate one marker to each submission. This works particularly well if marking is allocated by subject specialism.<br />
<br />
===Submission status===<br />
If you will be assigning grades to student work, you may want to take note of the submission status before you begin the marking process. If you have required students click the Submit button, you may find that some submissions are still marked as Draft (not submitted), meaning the student has either uploaded a file(s) or entered some text, but has not clicked ‘Submit assignment’. <br />
<br />
If it's after the due date and you are about to commencing marking that you use ‘Prevent submission changes’ to stop students from making changes to their assignment. You can do this one by one by using the icon in the Edit column.<br />
<br />
Or you can select two or more students by putting a tick in the select column and going to 'Lock submissions’ from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.<br />
<br />
Likewise you can also revert a student's submission to draft if they have uploaded the incorrect file. Instead of selecting ‘Prevent submission changes’ select ‘Revert the submission to draft’, or place ticks against selected students and choose 'Revert the submission to draft status' from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:submission statuses.jpg|thumb|Submission statuses]]<br />
|[[File:prevent submission changes dropdown.jpg|thumb|Prevent submission changes dropdown]]<br />
|[[File:lock submissions.jpg|thumb|Lock submissions]]<br />
|[[File:revert to draft.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft]]<br />
|[[File:revert submission to draft status.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft status]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If the submission setting 'Attempts reopened' is set to 'Automatically until pass' and a submission is graded below the grade to pass, then then submission is automatically unlocked when the grade is saved. Similarly, if the submission setting 'Attempts reopened' is set to Manually, and a teacher selects 'Allow another attempt, then the submission is automatically unlocked. (Prior to 3.0.3, the submission need to be manually unlocked.)<br />
<br />
===Overriding assignment deadlines===<br />
{{New features}}<br />
A teacher can override a deadline for an individual or group from the assignment settings link (gear menu in the [[Boost theme]] or Assignment administration other themes.) See the screencast [https://youtu.be/5Ghe7rueIME Assignment overrides] for a demo.<br />
[[File:AssignmentOverridesBoost.png||thumb|center|600px]]<br />
<br />
When adding overrides for a group, it is possible to have one group override trump another. This is achieved by moving the override up/down on the group overrides page:<br />
[[File:Example.jpg]]<br />
<br />
===Granting extensions===<br />
If an assignment has a deadline, a teacher can grant individual or group assignment extensions by selecting the Edit link next to a particular student or group.<br />
<br />
#To grant an extension, open the assignment<br />
#Click on "View all submissions"<br />
#Locate the student who is to be allowed to submit after the "Cut-off date"To<br />
#Click on the adjacent "Edit" drop down menu and select "Grant extension"<br />
##[[File:grantextension0.png|thumb|center|600px]]<br />
#Set the extension date and time. The student's or group's name is also shown on this screen.<br />
##[[File:grantextension.png||thumb|center|600px]]<br />
#Click on "Save changes".<br />
<br />
===Quick grading===<br />
<br />
'''Quick grading''' allows you to enter numeric grades directly into the grading table, bypassing the more detailed grading interface. Please note:<br />
*if you want to give feedback, you need to use the more detailed Grade interface. <br />
*Quick grading is incompatible with advanced grading e.g. Rubrics, and is not recommended when there are multiple markers. <br />
*'''Submission comments''' are a two-way private conversation between a student and staff and are visible to students immediately i.e. markers use the grading interface to give feedback, not the submission comments.<br />
<br />
To access the Quick Grading interface, from the Grading Summary page click 'View all assignments'; the Grading Table displays. Scroll to bottom of the page to configure Options, and check the box for 'Quick grading'. While you're down there, you can also set the number of assignments to display per page, filter the assignments e.g. to see who has not submitted, unmarked assignments, etc.<br />
<br />
When you are ready to Quick Grade: <br />
<br />
#You can enter grades directly into the grading table. <br />
#Scroll to the bottom of the grading table and click 'Save all quick grading changes'<br />
#A confirmation displays.<br />
<br />
===Grading individual submissions===<br />
If you have enabled File Feedback in the [[Assignment settings]] and wish to upload either the marked student assignment, a completed text based feedback document or audio feedback, click on the green tick in the Grade column (or use the icon in the Edit column and select Grade).<br />
<br />
This brings you to the Student Grading Page where you can give grades, feedback comments and feedback files (if enabled in the [[Assignment settings]]). You can use drag and drop to upload feedback files.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:green tick.jpg|thumb|Green tick]]<br />
|[[File:grade.jpg|thumb|Grading]]<br />
|[[File:feedbackfiles.png|thumb|Feedback files]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====Annotating submissions====<br />
<br />
If the student has uploaded a PDF, docx or odt file, or if you set 'Comment inline' for an online text submission, then their submission will be displayed on the grading screen, allowing you to annotate it (requires [http://www.ghostscript.com/ Ghostscript] for PDF and [[Universal Office Converter (unoconv)|unoconv]] for docx and odt files), using a variety of tools, stamps (if uploaded by the admin) and comments which may be saved to a comments bank. When the annotations are complete, clicking to save the changes will result in it being displayed to the student as part of their feedback. <br />
<br />
[[File:Annotatingsubmissions1.png|thumb|500px|center|Annotating a student's submission]]<br />
<br />
Comments may be added and then saved in a quick list for future use ''(1)'' Click the paper/magnifying glass icon to the right of the page selector to filter comments you have already added to the work''(2)'':<br />
*In the '''Search comments''' pop-up window, enter the term you would like to search for in the '''Filter comments...''' box. <br />
*Clicking on the comment will take you to the part of the paper where that comment has been added.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:NFaddcomment.png|thumb|400px|1.Saving and re-using comments]]<br />
|[[File:NFcommentsearch.png|thumb|400px|2. Accessing comments]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Note: To ensure that comments display to students as the marker intends, do instruct students to download the annotated PDF rather than just previewing it. Preview sometimes displays comments in a way which obscures the original text.<br />
<br />
The review panel and / or the grading panel may be collapsed by clicking the icons at the bottom right of the screen.<br />
<br />

===Controlling when to notify students of graded work===<br />
<br />
====Notifying as you mark====<br />
<br />
If you need to notify individual students, one by one, as you mark, the '''Notify students''' checkbox is available when grading individual submissions. Choose Yes to notify the student immediately or No to grade without notifying the student. Assuming you are not hiding grades in the ways outlined below, then Moodle will send a notification.<br />
<br />
Note: How students receive Moodle notifications depends on your local default settings, and any changes students have made to those.<br />
<br />

<br />
====Keeping grades hidden until a release date====<br />
<br />
Or if you need to keep your grades and feedback hidden from students until marking is finalised, and then release them to all students at the same time, there are two alternatives. <br />
<br />
The first is to hide the item in the Gradebook. This way is best if there is only one marker and no exceptional circumstances (i.e. you don't need to keep any students' marks hidden). Use it as follows:<br />
#In your Moodle course '''Settings''', click on '''Grades'''; the Grades page displays.<br />
#Click '''View''', then '''Grader report'''; a grid of participants and gradeable items displays.<br />
#Find the column for the assignment ('''Grade item''') whose grades you wish to hide, and click its Eye/Hide icon; the Eye icon displays with a strikethrough which means the grades are hidden from students.<br />
#To reveal the grades to students, you can either:<br />
##Remind yourself to return here and click the Eye/Show icon again; when it displays without the strikethrough the grades will be shown to students. With this option you need to remember to change the setting at the time.<br />
##Or if you prefer to set a time for the grades to be automatically revealed, click on the Cog/Edit icon to display settings for that grade item, then click the '''Show more''' link to display extra settings. For '''Hidden until''' click its checkbox and configure its date. With this option you need to get your marking done on time (or remember to come in and change the date to give yourself more time).<br />
#To notify students that marks and feedback are available, use e.g. the Announcements forum.<br />
<br />
Note: If you use this approach do communicate with any colleagues and remember to reveal the grades ultimately, since if grades remain hidden they can confuse the final grade calculations.<br />
<br />
The alternative approach to releasing marks to all students at the same time is to enable '''Use marking workflow''' in the Assignment's settings. This way is best where there are multiple markers and/or exceptional circumstances causing you to withhold some marks. Use it as follows:<br />
#Set up your assignment with Marking Workflow enabled (avoid enabling it after marking has started).<br />
#When ready to release marks, click on a link to your Assignment and from its summary page click '''View all submissions'''; a page with the Grading Table displays.<br />
#Scroll down to Options and ensure '''Quick grading''' is enabled by clicking its checkbox; the page reloads with some extra options.<br />
#Also in Options, configure '''Assignments per page''' to display all your assignments, or as many as possible.<br />
#Scroll back up again and click the checkbox in the column heading '''Select'''; all records display selected (and you can deselect any individual records you may need to keep hidden).<br />
#From the '''With selected...''' menu choose '''Set marking workflow state''', then click '''Go''', and confirm if prompted; the Marking workflow state menu displays on a page.<br />
#From the '''Marking workflow state''' menu, choose '''Released'''.<br />
#To have Moodle send students a notification that grades and feedback are available, set '''Notify students''' to Yes.<br />
#Finally '''Save changes'''.<br />
<br />
(If you would like the Moodle Assignment to have a setting for releasing grades and feedback to students please vote for MDL-18722.)<br />
<br />
===Offline marking - downloading and uploading multiple grades and feedback files===<br />
<br />
If you don't have an internet connection or prefer to grade outside Moodle, you can do so (including with anonymous submissions).<br />
These easy stages explained below:<br />
#Download the submissions<br />
#Download the spreadsheet (grading worksheet) to record grades.<br />
#Grade and annotate (if applicable) the submitted work.<br />
#Upload the completed grading worksheet.<br />
#Upload the annotated submissions (if applicable).<br />
<br />
Note:You cannot upload marks and feedback to Moodle if you have enabled Rubrics or Marking Guides.<br />
<br />
====Before you start, enable the multiple file upload settings====<br />
Go to the settings of that assignment.<br />
For Feedback types, ensure that the Moodle Assignment settings, Feedback comments, Feedback files, and Offline grading worksheet are ticked. <br />
<br />
====Downloading student submissions====<br />
<br />
You can download a zip file containing all of the assignment submissions by selecting ‘Download all submissions’ from the 'Grading actions' menu at the top of the grading table, or in the settings menu. <br />
<br />
File submissions will be downloaded in the format uploaded by the student. Online text submissions will be downloaded as html files. Each file in the zip will be named with the student first and last name followed by a unique identifier (not the user ID number).<br />
<br />
If each submission is more than a single file, then submissions may be downloaded in folders by ticking the option 'Download submissions in folders' (below the grading table). Each submission is put in a separate folder, with the folder structure kept for any subfolders, and files are not renamed. Each folder will be named with the student first and last name followed by a unique identifier (not the user ID number).<br />
<br />
You can also download selected assignment submissions (rather than all of them) by selecting the ones you want and then choosing 'With selected....Download selected submissions'.<br />
<br />
====Download the Grading Worksheet to record grades ====<br />
#Next, to download the spreadsheet in which you'll enter the grades and brief comments, return to the Moodle Assignment page and from its Grading action drop-down menu choose Download grading worksheet and save that file (keep its csv file format).<br />
<br />
Note: Helpfully that downloaded worksheet will contain any existing grades and summary comments which have already been given for that assignment i.e. if marking has already started. However, to see pre-existing comments fully you may need to set your spreadsheet to 'wrap text' within cells.<br />
<br />
====Grade and annotate (if applicable) the submitted work====<br />
After downloading the submissions and the grading worksheet:<br />
#Open a downloaded assignment file to assess it. <br />
#Open the csv file in a spreadsheet editor e.g. Excel. <br />
#For that student's record (if anonymous, a number corresponding to the submission file name will display), enter grades in the Grade column and summary comments in the Feedback comments column for each student. <br />
#Leave the other data untouched unless you know exactly what you're doing.<br />
#Repeat as needed.<br />
#Save the csv file.<br />
<br />
Note: Take care to enter data in the correct column of the spreadsheet.<br />
<br />
If you are annotating the submissions to return to students as feedback:<br />
#Open a downloaded submission.<br />
#Carry out your annotations.<br />
#Save it in its original place i.e. the folder corresponding to that student.<br />
#Repeat as needed.<br />
If you have separate feedback files to upload to students:<br />
#Save these within that student's folder.<br />
#You can give students multiple feedback files in this way e.g. annotations on their work along with a separate pro forma.<br />
<br />
Note: Don't change the name or location of the folder - Moodle needs this information to allocate the files correctly.<br />
<br />
Compress (zip) all the feedback files:<br />
<br />
#Locate the folder containing the feedback files in Moodle, select them all (Ctrl+A within the folder), then zip them: <br />
##Windows: Right click one of the selected files and Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.<br />
##Mac: Right Click (or Ctrl+click) one of the selected files and click Compress.<br />
#They are now ready for upload (see below).<br />
<br />
====Upload the completed grading worksheet====<br />
When you are ready to upload grades and summary feedback:<br />
#Click on the assignment name on the Moodle course homepage to access the summary page and click '''View/grade all submissions'''.<br />
#From the Grading action drop-down menu choose '''Upload grading worksheet'''.<br />
#Click '''Choose a file...''' and upload the grading worksheet to Moodle, or drag the csv file to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#There is a checkbox to '''overwrite records that have been modified more recently in Moodle than in the spreadsheet''' - only check this if you want to spreadsheet to overwrite all Moodle records, including ones made more recently than the spreadsheet.<br />
#Click '''Upload grading worksheet'''; a Confirmation box displays the students grades and feedback that will be imported - check this carefully.<br />
#If you are ready to proceed, click '''Confirm'''; a summary of updates displays.<br />
#Click '''Continue'''.<br />
<br />
====Upload feedback files (if applicable)====<br />
#Click on the assignment name on the Moodle course homepage to access the summary page and click '''View/grade all submissions'''.<br />
#From the Grading action drop-down menu choose '''Upload multiple feedback files in a zip'''.<br />
#Click '''Choose a file...''' and upload the zipped assignments file to Moodle, or drag the compressed/zipped file to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#Click '''Import feedback file(s)'''.<br />
#The Confirmation box will list all the feedback files and student names that will be imported.<br />
#Click '''Confirm'''; the next screen summarises the changes.<br />
#Click '''Continue'''.<br />
#From the page containing the Grading Table, you can check your feedback files by enabling Quick grading (see Options at the bottom of that page) and scrolling horizontally, if needed.<br />
<br />
For an assignment with no file submissions, see the discussion [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=336438 upload feedback files without student file submissions] for details of what to do.<br />
<br />
===Give the same feedback file to multiple students===<br />
If you have high level feedback you want to give to an entire cohort, it is generally a good idea to give this feedback in the context of the assignment, rather than e.g. separately via a Forum. Moodle allows you to select some or all students and attach a single, common feedback file to their assignment feedback. This common feedback will appear to each student along with any other individual feedback files you have prepared for each. <br />
#Prepare the single file of feedback.<br />
#Click on the link to the Assignment; its summary page displays.<br />
#Click '''View all submissions'''; the assignment's Grading Table displays.<br />
#Use the checkboxes to select all or some students to receive the feedback (you may first prefer to configure the Grading Table to show as many students as possible on a single page).<br />
#Underneath the Grading Table click the '''With selected...''' menu, choose '''Send feedback files''', then click '''Go'''; a page displays a list of selected students above a file upload area.<br />
#Upload the file of feedback you prepapred, or drag it to the arrow and wait for the file name to appear in the box.<br />
#Click '''Send feedback files'''; the Grading Table displays again.<br />
#Check your file is in place by scrolling horizontally to the '''Feedback files''' column.<br />
<br />
==Which type of assignment submission suits you best?==<br />
<br />
===You want students to type shorter or longer responses directly online===<br />
<br />
*Set ''Online text'' to Yes. This works well for younger children who will only manage a sentence or two and works just as well for higher education students who write more. <br />
**Advantage - quick for the student to get started; no need to use a word-processing program and upload the file. The text is saved on a regular basis so it will be preserved if the student loses the page for some reason.<br />
**Disadvantage: if the word count is expected to be large, setting ''Online text'' to No and ''File submission'' to Yes might be a better option.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit work you can download in a specified program===<br />
<br />
*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, set the number of files you will allow using the ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' setting and the file sizes by using the '' Maximum submission size'' setting.<br />
**Advantage - better than students emailing work as the whole class's work is collated in one space on your course. Markers can provide comments directly on the student work.<br />
**Advantage - with "Attempts reopened" enabled, teachers can see the progression through various drafts of a student's work.<br />
**Disadvantage - assignments must downloaded to be viewed (but they can be [[Assignment_FAQ| downloaded in bulk]]) and the teacher needs the appropriate program to open them.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit files at different times for a project===<br />
<br />
*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, and use ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' to set the maximum number of separate files they can upload<br />
**Advantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading so they get a single grade.<br />
**Disadvantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading - so they can only have a single grade!<br />
<br />
===You want students to write a response to a video/sound file/image===<br />
<br />
*Set up an assignment allowing ''online text'' submission and get students to use the Moodle media icon to add video/sound/image files. <br />
<br />
===You want students to answer a series of questions on a video/sound file/image===<br />
*Investigate the [[Quiz]] module. Assignments are really just for a single question.<br />
<br />
===You want to grade work students have done offline===<br />
*Uncheck the submission types when setting up the assignment. Students won't be required to do anything but you can use the assignment to grade them for work done outside of Moodle.<br />
<br />
===You want to view, comment on and send back students' assignments===<br />
<br />
*Set up an assignment allowing ''file submissions''.<br />
**Advantage: useful for teachers who like using the "comment" options in word-processing programs for example. If you have Ghostscript enabled on your server and the students upload PDF files, you can annotate them inline. See the section [[Using Assignment#Annotating PDF files| Annotating PDF files]] below.<br />
**Disadvantage: if students upload other file types, you have to download them, comment and then re-upload them.<br />
<br />
===You want students to send you a comment or note along with their uploaded work===<br />
<br />
*Although previous versions of Moodle allowed the ''Submission comments'' submission plugin to be toggled, this is no longer the case. If [[Comments#Enabling_comments|comments are enabled site-wide]], students will be able to add submission comments; if comments are disabled site-wide, students will not be given the option to add submission comments.<br />
<br />
===You want to allow students to redraft and decide when to submit the work===<br />
<br />
*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to Yes. Students can then control when their draft work is submitted to the teacher. <br />
<br />
===You want students to keep an ongoing journal or do an iterative assignment===<br />
<br />
*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to No. Students can continue to make changes to their assignment and at no point do they 'submit'. If the work will be graded at some point it is recommended that either ''Prevent late submissions'' is set to Yes to ensure that no changes can be made after the due date, or [[Using_Assignment#Submission_status| all submissions are locked]] when grading commences to ensure that the work is not altered during grading.<br />
**Advantage: the work remains in one place and is constantly improved, graded (if needed) and improved again. <br />
**Disadvantage: there is no record/history of previous attempts (such as with the [[Wiki]]). The online text assignment does not replicate the display of a journal or blog where each new entry is additional to the previous ones.<br />
<br />
===You want students to submit work in groups===<br />
<br />
*In the settings, set "Students submit in groups" to Yes. If you just do this, then once one student has submitted, the assignment will be flagged as submitted even if the others haven't contributed. If you want to ensure everyone has an input, set "Require students click submit button" to Yes and then change "Require all group members to submit" to Yes. The assignment will only be classed as submitted when each member has contributed, and once one student has submitted, the remaining members's names will be displayed for the group to see who still needs to add their input.<br />
<br />
===You want to grade students' work anonymously===<br />
*In the settings, choose "Blind marking". When students submit assignments, their names will be replaced by randomly-generated participant numbers so you will not know who is who. Note that this is not '''totally''' blind marking because you can reveal their identities in the assignment settings and you can work out identities from the logs - so this might not be suitable if your establishment has very precise privacy requirements.<br />
<br />
===You want to read and grade student assignments offline===<br />
*In the settings, choose "Offline grading worksheet". When students have submitted, click "View/grade all submissions" and you can download their assignments from the link "Download all submissions" and download the grading sheet from the link "Download grading worksheet". You can then edit grades and re-upload the grading worksheet. You can also upload multiple feedback files in a zip from this drop down menu. See [[Assignment settings]] for an explanation of how to use the "upload multiple feedback files as zip" feature.<br />
<br />
===You want to hide students' grades until a time of your choosing.===<br />
Use 'marking workflow' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]<br />
<br />
===You want to moderate other colleagues' marking or allocate certain teachers to certain students===<br />
Use 'marking allocation' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]<br />
<br />
==Keeping records (archiving, exporting, backing up)==<br />
When students unenrol from a Moodle area, their records become invisible through the Gradebook interface. In order to have the information to hand, departments or course teaching teams may need systems in place to keep their own records for the data retention period required in their particular context. There are two separate procedures for exporting student submissions and marks.<br />
<br />
To export marks (with or without feedback):<br />
#Go to your course administration block and click Grades.<br />
#From the Grader Report Settings block, select Export; a menu displays.<br />
#From the menu, if you need easy viewing and running calculations you probably want to select one of the spreadsheet formats; a page of export settings loads<br />
#Use the Visible Groups pulldown menu to limit the export to specific groups, as required<br />
#In Options, you indicate whether feedback comments are included<br />
#In Grade Items To Be Included lists you can, if required, omit particular Activities from the report<br />
#When you've finished with the settings, click on Submit; a preview of your export displays<br />
#Click on Download to export to the format you chose, and save the file.<br />
<br />
To download the original student submissions:<br />
#In your course area, click the link to the Assignment whose submissions you want to download.<br />
#Click on the link to View/Grade all submissions; the Grading Table will load.<br />
#Click the link to 'Download all submissions' and save the file.<br />
==Tips and Tricks==<br />
* Want to use an Assignment activity again in another Moodle site? Use the [[Activity_backup| backup and restore]] options. <br />
*Want to use an Assignment activity in another course you teach? Use the [[Import_course_data| Import function]] in the course administration block.<br />
*Moodle will sometimes appear not to be uploading a resubmitted assignment - you seem to be downloading the original assignment. This is a cache issue, in short, go to ''"Tools > Clear Recent History"'' in Firefox or ''"Tools > Delete Browsing History > Delete Temporary Files"'' in Windows Explorer. The newer file will then appear.<br />

[[es:Usando Tarea]]</div>Cameron1729https://docs.moodle.org/32/en/index.php?title=admin/environment/php_extension/curl&diff=126363admin/environment/php extension/curl2016-12-12T05:34:38Z<p>Cameron1729: Update Unix instructions with more detail about TLS 1.2 requirements.</p>
<hr />
<div>{{Environment}}<br />
== Unix ==<br />
Moodle recommends using libcurl with at least TLS 1.2 support. It's important to upgrade mainly for security reasons, but also because external services (e.g., PayPal) will stop supporting older version of TLS in the near future. There are three terms to be familiar with for this process:<br />
<br />
* libcurl - The underlying library that actually carries out the requests (https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/).<br />
* SSL/TLS libraries - A library that libcurl will be compiled against. This library provides the SSL/TLS functionality in libcurl. Some popular ones are OpenSSL, NSS, and GnuTLS.<br />
* PHP/cURL - The PHP module that wraps libcurl. This module provides the curl_* functions in PHP.<br />
<br />
To install the curl library on Unix<br />
<br />
# You will need up to date SSL/TLS libraries.<br />
# You will need to compile libcurl<br />
# You will need to recompile PHP/cURL from source <br />
<br />
=== Debian and Debian-based distros ===<br />
These steps should work on Debian 7.0 (although you may need to install sudo) and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - if you're using something older you will need to upgrade. Please also note that these steps use the php5-* packages, as that's what many of the package manager repositories use. Ideally you should be using PHP 7.1, or at least PHP 7. More information about that at [https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_and_PHP7 Moodle and PHP7]. If you are using PHP7 or 7.1 it may be possible to substitute the php5-* packages with php7-* or php7.1-* depending on how you installed PHP. This example also uses OpenSSL, but the steps for other libraries are similar.<br />
<br />
* Update packages: <code>sudo apt-get update</code><br />
* Install the following packages: <code>apt-get install git build-essential autoconf libtool libtool-bin php5-curl libbison-dev=1:2.5.dfsg-2.1 libxml2-dev libssl-dev openssl</code><br />
* Check that your OpenSSL version is now at least 1.0.1 by running: <code>openssl version</code><br />
* Get the libcurl sources, compile, and install:<br />
git clone https://github.com/curl/curl.git<br />
cd curl<br />
git checkout curl-7_51_0<br />
./buildconf<br />
./configure --with-ssl<br />
make<br />
sudo make install<br />
* Compile and install the PHP/cURL module<br />
git clone https://github.com/php/php-src.git<br />
cd php-src<br />
git checkout php-5.6.29<br />
cd ext/curl<br />
phpize<br />
./configure<br />
make<br />
sudo make install<br />
sudo bash -c "echo \"extension=curl.so\" > /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-curl.ini"<br />
sudo bash -c "echo \"extension=curl.so\" > /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-curl.ini"<br />
* '''Note:''' The file /etc/php5/[apache2|cli]/conf.d/20-curl.ini may already be present, or be called something slightly different. Check first and modify the command accordingly.<br />
* Restart apache: <code>sudo service apache2 restart</code><br />
* Verify the PHP/cURL module is using the updated SSL/TLS libraries: <code>php -i | grep SSL</code><br />
* You should see something similar to:<br />
SSL => Yes<br />
SSL Version => OpenSSL/1.0.1t<br />
<br />
The SSL Version may be different than 1.0.1t, that's fine. Just as long as it's not older than 1.0.1.<br />
<br />
== Windows ==<br />
To install the curl library on Windows<br />
<br />
# Open the ''php.ini'' file found in the ''php/php.ini'' folder (older versions of XAMPP use ''moodle/apache/bin'' folder) <br />
# Find the line: <code>;extension=php_curl.dll</code><br />
# Remove the <code>;</code> at the beginning of the line<br />
# Restart Apache<br />
<br />
If you still get an error message after doing these steps, then:<br />
<br />
* Go to the ''php'' folder.<br />
* Copy the <code>icudt##.dll</code>, <code>icuin##.dll</code> and <code>icuuc##.dll</code> files (where ''##'' is a two digit number, for example: 36 or 49).<br />
* Go to the Apache ''bin'' directory.<br />
* Paste the three files:<br />
apache/bin/icudt''49''.dll<br />
apache/bin/icuin''49''.dll<br />
apache/bin/icuuc''49''.dll<br />
* Restart your Apache web server and retry your Moodle install process.<br />
<br />
Tip: If it appears that WAMP comes with/has a corrupt curl.dll version, see the forum.wampserver.com thread [http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,85716,93286 Wamp Server 2.2 Windows 7 64-bit and curl not working side-by-side configuration incorrect] for details of the problem together with a fix.<br />
