Common module settings
On the settings page for many modules, there is a section called "Common module settings". This refers to settings that are common to many modules.
Example - assignment activity
Assignment activity has two items and a point of information in the common module settings
Group mode
When course group mode is turned on, the group mode can be one of three levels: no groups, separate groups or visible groups.
- No groups
- There are no groups and all students submit their assignments in one Assignment area
- Separate groups
- Students submit their assignments within a separate Group based submission area and teachers/trainers can sort submissions by Group or view All Participants.
- Visible groups
- All students submits their assignment within a single Assignment area but may choose which Group to associate their submission with before uploading. Teachers/trainers can sort submissions by Group or view All Participants.
Visible
Choose whether to Show or Hide the assignment
ID number
Setting an ID number provides a way of identifying the assignment for grade calculation purposes. If the activity is not included in any grade calculation then the ID number field can be left blank.
The ID number can also be set on the edit grade calculation page in the Gradebook, though it can only be edited on the update activity page of the module in a course context.
