==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.


Students can submit any digital content (files), including, for example, word-processed documents, spreadsheets, images, audio and video clips.  Assignments don't necessarily have to consist of file uploads.  Alternatively, teachers can ask students to type directly into Moodle using an [[Online text assignment|online text]] assignment. There is also an [[Offline activity assignment|offline activity ]] assignment which can be used to remind students of 'real-world' assignments they need to complete and to record grades in Moodle for activities that don't have an online component.

== Assignment types ==
Note: Ask your administrator to check the assignment defaults if you are missing a particular setting.
There are 4 types of assignments:


#[[Upload a single file assignment|Upload a single file]]
==How does it work?==
#[[Advanced uploading of files assignment|Advanced uploading of files]] - options include: multiple file submission, allowing students to type a message alongside their submission & returning a file as feedback.
#[[Online text assignment|Online text]] - students type directly into Moodle, teachers can provide inline feedback.
#[[Offline activity assignment|Offline Activity]] - teachers provide a description and due date for an assignment outside of Moodle. A grade & feedback can be recorded in Moodle.

*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.

It is possible to create iterative assignments - where the piece of work is graded by the teacher, re-edited by the student, re-graded and so on using either the [[Upload a single file assignment|single file]] or the [[Online text assignment|online text]] and setting 'Allow resubmitting' to 'Yes' in the assignment settings.

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.
