| {{New features}}The Assignment upgrade tool is an administrator tool for upgrading old assignment types to the new assignment module for 2.3.
| | The Assignment upgrade tool was an administrator tool for upgrading assignments in Moodle 2.2 and older to the new assignment module in Moodle 2.3 onwards. It was removed from core Moodle in 3.6. See the tracker issue [https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-61041 Remove Assignment upgrade helper from core]. |
|
| |
|
| Note: It is recommended that admins upgrade all existing assignments to use the new assignment module as soon as possible, then disable the old assignment module, to avoid the confusion of having two assignment modules.

| To upgrade existing assignments to use the new assignment module
| |
| | |
| # Go to ''Settings > Site Administration > Assignment Upgrade Helper''.
| |
| # Click ''List assignments that have not been upgraded'' to display a list of assignments created in a previous version of Moodle. This page lists the assignments created with an older version of Moodle that have not been upgraded to the new assignment module in Moodle 2.3. Not all assignments can be upgraded - if they were created with a custom assignment subtype, then that subtype will need to be upgraded to the new assignment plugin format in order to complete the upgrade.
| |
| # Select the assignment(s) you wish to upgrade and click the ''Upgrade selected assignments'' button in the Batch operations box at the bottom of the screen. Or click the ''Upgrade all assignments'' button in the Batch operations box.
| |
| # Confirm by clicking ''Continue''.
| |
| | |
| A confirmation screen will appear. From here you can view the courses with the converted assignments.

| ===Grading===
| |
| Versions of Moodle older than 2.2 did not contain Advanced Grading Methods. Likewise all versions of Moodle older than 2.3 did not contain the Marking Guide type of grading method included in Advanced Grading Methods. Owners of any upgraded assignments may wish to investigate the use of the Advanced Grading Methods feature.
| |
| | |
| ==Disabling the old assignment module==
| |
| | |
| Once all existing assignments have been upgraded, the old assignment module can be disabled.
| |
| | |
| # Go to ''Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Manage activities''
| |
| # Hide the Assignments 2.2 module by clicking on the eye in the hide/show column
| |
| | |
| Teachers will then have only the new assignment module available for selection in the activity chooser.
