__NOTOC__
==What is the Assignment activity?==
Assignments allow students to submit work to their teacher for grading. The work may be text typed online or uploaded files of any type the teacher’s device can read. Grading may be by simple percentages or custom scales, or more complex rubrics may be used. Students may submit as individuals or in groups.


'''Assignments''' allow the teacher to grade various types of student submissions. There are four standard assignment types.

==Upload a single file==
==How is it set up?==
A student can upload a single file. This could be a Word document, spreadsheet or anything digital. Multiple files could be zipped and then submitted.
#In a course, with the editing turned on, choose 'Assignment' from the activity chooser.
#Give it a name and, in the description explain what the students must submit. You can upload a help or example document from the Additional files area.
# Expand the other settings to select, for example, availability times, how you want them to submit and how you plan to give them feedback. (Comment inline allows you to annotate directly on their submitted work.)
#If you want them to verify they are submitting their own work, or if you want to prevent them changing their submission once uploaded, explore the Submission settings. To have them submit in group, explore Group submission settings (ensuring your course has groups)
#To use a rubric instead of a single grade scale, change the Grading method to Rubric and, once the assignment is saved, create or locate the rubric from the Advanced grading link in the Assignment administration block on the side.


==Online text==
Note: Ask your administrator to check the assignment defaults if you are missing a particular setting.
This assignment type asks users to edit a text, using the normal editing tools. Teachers can grade them online, and even add inline comments or changes.


==Offline assignment==
==How does it work?==
This is useful when the assignment is performed outside of Moodle. It could be something elsewhere on the web or face-to-face. Students can see a description of the assignment, but can't upload files or anything. Grading works normally, and students will get notifications of their grades.


==Advanced uploading of files==
===Student view===
{{Moodle 1.7}}
*Students click the assignment link and click “Add submission” ''(1)''
This type of assignment allows each participant to upload one or more files in any format. These might be Word processed documents, images, a zipped web site, or anything you ask them to submit. This type also allows you to upload multiple response files. Response files can be also uploaded before submission which can be used to give each participant different file to work with. Participants may also enter notes describing the submitted files, progress status or any other text information. Submission of this type of assignment must be manually finalized by the participant. You can review the current status at any time, unfinished assignments are marked as Draft. You can revert any ungraded assignment back to draft status.
*Depending on the assignment settings, they either have a text box into which to type their work or an upload area to submit their file ''(2)''
*They may be able to return to their work and redraft it, or they might have to click a submit button to send in a final version which cannot be changed.  
*See [[Assignment settings]] for more information.

What is the Assignment activity?

Assignments allow students to submit work to their teacher for grading. The work may be text typed online or uploaded files of any type the teacher’s device can read. Grading may be by simple percentages or custom scales, or more complex rubrics may be used. Students may submit as individuals or in groups.

Assignment

How is it set up?

  1. In a course, with the editing turned on, choose 'Assignment' from the activity chooser.
  2. Give it a name and, in the description explain what the students must submit. You can upload a help or example document from the Additional files area.
  3. Expand the other settings to select, for example, availability times, how you want them to submit and how you plan to give them feedback. (Comment inline allows you to annotate directly on their submitted work.)
  4. If you want them to verify they are submitting their own work, or if you want to prevent them changing their submission once uploaded, explore the Submission settings. To have them submit in group, explore Group submission settings (ensuring your course has groups)
  5. To use a rubric instead of a single grade scale, change the Grading method to Rubric and, once the assignment is saved, create or locate the rubric from the Advanced grading link in the Assignment administration block on the side.

Note: Ask your administrator to check the assignment defaults if you are missing a particular setting.
