Meredith25: /* Username */ adding pro tip about extended characters and removing extra space

{{Accounts}}
An administrator or manager (or any other user with the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/user:create|moodle/user:create]]) can create new user accounts in ''Settings > Site administration > Users > Accounts > Add a new user''. (To add users in bulk, see [[Upload users]].)

[[File:Addanewuser.png]]

==General==

===Username===
The user will use this username to log in to the Moodle instance. It needs to be unique. This may be changed. A user's name can only contain alphabetical letters in lowercase, numbers, hyphen '-', underscore '_', period '.', or an at character '@' - unless you enable 'Allow extended characters in usernames' ( Site Administration > Security > Site Policies)

===Authentication method===
The setting specifies how Moodle will check whether the user's specified password is correct.

Accounts created by an administrator use the '''Manual Accounts''' method, and accounts created by the user themselves using the email sign-up method use the E-mail based self-registration method.

===Suspended account===

Suspended user accounts cannot log in or use web services, and any outgoing messages are discarded.

===Password===
This is the user's password. It is subject to the password policy in [[Site policies]]. A user can change their password by the ''Settings block > My Profile settings > Change password'' link.

===First Name===
The user's first name. It is displayed along with the last name in messages, forum posts, participants list, reports and anywhere where something about the user is shows on the page.

===Surname===
The user's surname. It is displayed along with the first name in messages, forum posts, participants list, reports and anywhere where something about the user is shows on the page.

===Email address===
Password reset notices, forum digests and other messages are sent to this email address from the Moodle site.

===Email display===
This setting controls who can see the user's email address.

===Email format===
This setting can be used such that Moodle will send text-only emails to the user.

===Email digest type===
This setting set whether the user will receive an email for each new forum post in subscribed forums, or if new posts should be sent once per day in a digest, and which type of digest.
* No digest (one receives individual emails),
* Complete (a single digest daily) or
* Subjects (a single digest daily with only the post topics included).

===Forum auto-subscribe===
If a user subscribes to a forum, new posts will be sent in the digest as specified. This setting sets whether a user is automatically subscribed to forums or if a manual click on the subscription button in each forum is required.

===Forum tracking===
THis setting specifies whether new posts written since the user's last visit should be highlighted as such.

===When editing text===
This setting specifies whether the user prefers to see the WYSIWYG text editor or just a plain text box.

===Screen Reader===
Enabling this setting will improve the display of Moodle to make it more compatible with screen readers.

===City/town===
The user's city or town

===Country===
The user's country

Note: City and country defaults may be set in ''Settings > Site administration > Location > Location settings''.

===Timezone===
This setting is used to adjust the times of messages and assignment/quiz due dates to match the user's local time

===Preferred language===
This will cause the Moodle interface to be displayed in the specified language. (See [[Language packs]])

Note: Content will not be translated automatically, but if multi-language content is entered the appropriate language content will be displayed, if available.

===Description===
Information about the user that other users can see.

==User Picture==
The user's picture can be displayed next to the user's name next to any content he/she has posted in Moodle activities such as the forum. See [[User pictures]] for details.

==Interests==
The list of interests can be used as a way of connecting users with similar interests. [[Tags]] must be enabled on the site.

==Optional==
There are several optional fields that come with an standard install. These include:
Web Page, ICA number, Skype ID, AIM ID, Yahoo ID, MSN ID, ID number, Institution, Department, Phone, Mobile Phone, Address.

The site administrator may [[User profile fields|add more custom fields]] and/or turn off any of these "optional" fields.

Meredith25: Final tweaks and improvements. Ready for review

{{Assignment}}
This page describes the various configuration options available within the Assignment module - both at the Site level and the Activity level.

=Module Settings=

The following configuration options are available under Site Administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Assignment. They apply to all four [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types|Assignment Types]] .

==Maximum size==

An Administrator can specify the maximum size of any individual file uploaded within the Upload Single File or Advanced Upload of Files Assignment type across all courses on the site. This limit may be equal to or less than course file upload limit

==Count==
Applicable the Online Text Assignment type only, you can set whether Moodle automatically counts the number of words or letters of a submission. A word or number count is displayed in parenthesis to Teachers and Learners after the Last Edited date and time stamp within the Assignment submission.

==Show recent submissions==
This option allows everyone to see notifications of submissions in [[Recent activity]] reports and the Recent Activity Block, within a course context. Note that the default for this option is Yes which means students will be able to see when classmates have submitted or updated any Assignments.

[[Image:Assignmentadmin.png|frame|center|Assignment Module Settings]]

=Assignment Activity Settings=
The following configuration options are available when creating or editing/updating any Assignment activity. Settings specific to each of the [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types|Assignment Types]] are detailed separately below.

To '''add a new Assignment activity''' to your course login with the appropriate access rights (e.g.editing teacher, course creator or administrator) and Turn Editing On. Within the required Week or Topic Block click on the Add Activity dropdown menu arrow and select the required [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types|Assignment Type]]

To '''edit an existing Assignment activity''', login to your course with the appropriate access rights (e.g.editing teacher, course creator or administrator) and Turn Editing On and select the Update icon against the relevant Assignment item. Alternatively, after logging into your course simply click on the name of the Assignment activity you wish to edit and then click the Edit Settings link under ''Assignment administration'' within the Settings block.

==General settings==

===Assignment name===
Give your Assignment a name (e.g. “Report on Topic 1 Content”). The title entered here will be the name that learners see in the course content area. Learners will click on this name to view the details of the assignment and, if applicable, submit their work.

===Description===
The description of the assignment, which should include precise instructions for students regarding the subject of the assignment, the form, in which it should be submitted, the grading criteria etc.

Use this area to describe the assignment and explain what learners are expected to do to complete this task. The assignment description can be as brief or as detailed as you feel is necessary to meet the needs of your learners. However, it is to your benefit to provide as much detail and information as possible, especially at the start of the course while you are still establishing procedures. Generally, the more information you are able to provide here the fewer questions and problems your learners will have completing the task.

The assignment description field can also be used to provide information or resources related to the assignment. An instructor, for example, could provide some literature, a video clip, an image, or a link to a webpage, and then ask the learners to use these materials in completing the task.

===Available from===
The Available from setting prevents students from submitting their assignment before the shown date.

This option allows an instructor to set a day, month, year and time (24 hour clock) from which learners can begin to submit their assignments. Please note that this setting does not hide the activity from the learners. Instead, the learner will see the activity, be able to view the instructions and use any materials you have include in the description, but the learner will not be able to submit or complete the assignment until the Available from date.

By default the Available from date is Enabled (ticked) and is set at the day and time you selected Add Assignment. To Disable this feature simply ensure the Enable checkbox is not marked.

===Due date===
The Due date setting prevents students from submitting their assignment after the shown date.

This option allows an instructor to set a day, month, year and time (24 hour clock) before which learners must submit their assignment.

By default the Available from date is Enabled (ticked) and is set at 7 days ahead of the day and time you selected Add Assignment. To Disable this feature simply ensure the Enable checkbox is not marked.

====Notes on Date Settings====
Both the Available from and Due dates are displayed for learners in the assignment details, but the Due date is also marked in the course Calendar as a visible reminder for participants and provides a link to the activity.

Your use of the Available from and Due date settings will probably be dependent on the overall structure of your course. If you are facilitating an open ended course or a course with rolling enrolment, then you might find it easier to not apply the Available from and Due date settings. This arrangement will allow the learners to access the assignment according to their own schedule and progress within the course.

Alternatively, if you are working within a more structured format or adhering to a timeline, the Available from and Due date settings are useful for keeping learners on schedule. Using the Available from setting will make it possible for learners to preview upcoming activities, while at the same time, prevent them from finishing the course in the first week and not returning for additional activities or information. Likewise, the Due dates help keep the learners from lagging too far behind and decrease the likelihood that the learner will become overwhelmed by having to complete several weeks worth of work at once.

===Prevent late submissions===
Setting Prevent late submissions to Yes will prevent learners from being able to submit this assignment after the Due date (where specified). If you set Prevent late submissions to No, then learners can submit the assignment as long as the assignment is visible or accessible to them but their submissions will be marked as late.

==Grade Settings==

===Grade===
Specify the maximum grade or [[Scales|Scale]] to be applied to the assignment. If you will not be giving a grade for the assignment, choose No Grade.

===Grade Category===
Any custom [[Grade_categories|Grade Categories]] that have been created within your site or course will be listed here and will be available for selection. Select the required Grade Category to add this assignment as a [[Grade_items|Grade item]] within this Category.

==Common module settings==

=== Group mode ===
When course group mode is turned on, the [[Groups|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.

===Groupings===
Groupings is an Advanced setting. A grouping is a collection of groups within a course. If a existing grouping is selected from the dropdown list, students assigned to groups within the grouping will be able to work together within the group mode specified above.

===Visible===
Choose whether to Show or Hide the assignment from learner view. A hidden assignment will be displayed greyed out on the main course page for those with teacher, creator, manager or admin type roles but invisible to students/learners.

===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 in the gradebook, though it can only be edited on the activity settings page.

==Restrict access settings==
The [[Restrict_access_settings|Restrict access]] area becomes visible in Moodle activities and resource settings if [[Conditional_activities|Conditional Activities]] have been enabled.

===Allow access from===
The Access from date determines the day, month and year students may first access the activity via the assignment name link on the course page. To activate this option click in the Enable checkbox to add a tick.

===Allow access until===
The Access until date determines the day, month and year students may last access the activity via the assignment name link on the course page. To activate this option click in the Enable checkbox to add a tick.

'''Note:''' The difference between access from/to dates and availability settings for the activity is that outside the set dates the latter allows students to view the activity description, whereas access from/to dates prevent access completely.

[[Image:restrictinassignment.png|frame|center|Restrict access settings in Assignment]]

===Grade Condition===
This setting determines any grade conditions which must be met in order for students to access the activity. Multiple grade conditions may be set using the 'Add 2 grade conditions to form' button. If there are multiples completion conditions applied to an activity, it will only be accessible to learners when ''all'' grade conditions are met. See [[Conditional_activities_settings|Conditional Activities]] for more information.

===Before activity can be accessed===
Before a learner has fulfilled the the Grade Conditions specified above and the activity is still inaccessible to them, you can choose whether to show the activity greyed-out on the course page with the grade conditions listed (restriction information) or to hide the activity from learner view entirely.

=Assignment Type Specific Settings=

==Advanced uploading of files==
The Advanced upload of files assignment type allows a learner to upload and edit multiple files to form their final submission while the assignment is open and accessible to students.

[[Image:Advanceduploadsettings.png|frame|center|Advanced uploading of file Assignment Type Settings]]

===Maximum size===
This setting specifies the maximum size per file of '''each''' of the files that the students can upload as part of their submission. This maximum upload size may only be equal to or less than the course limit (which in turn may only be equal to or less than the site limit)

===Allow deleting===
If enabled, students may delete uploaded files at any time before submitting for grading.

===Maximum number of uploaded files===
The maximum number of files which may be uploaded by each learner. As this figure is not displayed anywhere, it is suggested that it is mentioned in the assignment Description.

===Allow notes===
If enabled, students may enter notes into a text area associated with the assignment
This text box can be used for communication with the grading person, assignment progress description or any other written activity.

===Hide description before available date===
If enabled, the assignment description is hidden before the "Available from" date. Only the assignment name is displayed.

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, teachers receive email notification whenever students add or update an assignment submission.

Only teachers who are able to grade the particular assignment are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive notification about students in other groups.

===Enable 'Send for marking' button===

Where grading is enabled, the "Send for marking" button allows students to indicate to the teacher that they have finished working on an assignment. The teacher may choose to revert the assignment to draft status (if it requires further work, for example).

'''Note:''' this means that the learner can no longer edit their submission (to do so would risk invalidating any work their assessor had done on their submission). If students regret their decision and wish to edit, they need to request that somebody with course editing access reverts them to Draft Status. This is also true if Send For Marking is never turned on and a submission is uploaded; the teacher must take steps to give the student a chance to resubmit.

To revert to the draft stage or let a student resubmit, click on the assignment activity, then click on ''View # submitted assignments,'' in the upper right. On the page with the roster and their submissions, click '''Grade''' (or '''Update''' for students who have already been graded) for the student who should get to resubmit. When the new window opens, click Revert to Draft at the lower right, or click the black '''X''' to delete their files.

==Online text==
The Online text assignment type allows a learner to compose and edit text on screen using the standard Moodle HTML Editor. The online text assignment can be set up to allow learners to compose, revise and edit over time or such that the learner only has one opportunity to enter his or her response.

===Allow resubmitting===
If set to Yes, students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for them to be re-graded). This may be useful if the teacher wants to encourage an iterative process to assignment completion.

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, teachers receive email notification whenever students add or update an assignment submission. Only teachers who are able to grade the particular assignment are notified.

===Comment inline===
If enabled, the submission text will be copied into the feedback comment field during grading, making it easier to comment inline (using a different colour, perhaps) or to edit the original text. Note that if the teacher makes inline comments and changes, the student's original submission is kept intact.

If inline comments are not permitted, then the teacher will see the student’s submission with a separate area for making comments.

==Upload a single file==
The Upload single file assignment type allows a learner to upload a single file for their submission while the assignment is open and accessible to students.

===Allow resubmitting===
If enabled, students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for them to be re-graded).

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, then teachers are alerted with a short email whenever students add or update an assignment submission. Only teachers who are able to grade the particular submission are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, then teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive any notices about students in other groups.

===Maximum Size===
This setting specifies the maximum size per file of '''each''' of the files that the students can upload as part of their submission. This maximum upload size may only be equal to or less than the course limit (which in turn may only be equal to or less than the site limit).

[[Image:uploadsingleasgn.png|frame|center|Upload single file Assignment settings]]

==Offline Activity==
The Offline Activity assignment is used when an activity or assessment process is performed outside of Moodle. It could be something elsewhere on the web or in person. Students can see a description of the assignment, but can't upload files. Grading works normally, and students will get notification of their grades.

The Offline Activity[[Assignment_module#Assignment_types|Assignment Type]] doesn't currently have any specific settings.

==Save or Cancel==
To save your setting changes and to create your assignment activity choose either''' Save and return to course''' or '''Save and display'''. To discard your changes click '''Cancel'''.

==Tips and Tricks==
* Want to use an Assignment activity again in another Moodle site? Copy the assignment by backing up the course and selecting just the assignment, with or without students and their data. Restore the backup to the same course or to a new course. Move the copied assignment and or edit it.
*Want to use an Assignment activity in another course you teach? Use the Import function in the course administration block.
* Where Allow Resubmitting has been enabled, a learner can upload a file again to overwrite the old file, and then the submission will be marked as needing to be graded again in the ''View # submitted assignments'' page.
* 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.

To save your setting changes and to create your assignment activity choose either''' Save and return to course''' or '''Save and display'''. To discard your changes click '''Cancel'''.

==Tips and Tricks==
* Want to use an Assignment activity again in another Moodle site? Copy the assignment by backing up the course and selecting just the assignment, with or without students and their data. Restore the backup to the same course or to a new course. Move the copied assignment and or edit it.
*Want to use an Assignment activity in another course you teach? Use the Import function in the course administration block.
* Where Allow Resubmitting has been enabled, a learner can upload a file again to overwrite the old file, and then the submission will be marked as needing to be graded again in the ''View # submitted assignments'' page.
* 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.

This page describes the various configuration options available within the Assignment module - both at the Site level and the Activity level.

=Module Settings=

The following configuration options are available under Site Administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Assignment. They apply to all four [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types|Assignment Types]] .

==Maximum size==

An Administrator can specify the maximum size of any individual file uploaded within the Upload Single File or Advanced Upload of Files Assignment type across all courses on the site. This limit may be equal to or less than course file upload limit

==Count==
Applicable the Online Text Assignment type only, you can set whether Moodle automatically counts the number of words or letters of a submission. A word or number count is displayed in parenthesis to Teachers and Learners after the Last Edited date and time stamp within the Assignment submission.

==Show recent submissions==
This option allows everyone to see notifications of submissions in [[Recent activity]] reports and the Recent Activity Block, within a course context. Note that the default for this option is Yes which means students will be able to see when classmates have submitted or updated any Assignments.

[[Image:Assignmentadmin.png|frame|center|Assignment Module Settings]]

=Assignment Activity Settings=
The following configuration options are available when creating or editing/updating any Assignment activity. Settings specific to each of the [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types|Assignment Types]] are detailed separately below.

To '''add a new Assignment activity''' to your course login with the appropriate access rights (e.g.editing teacher, course creator or administrator) and Turn Editing On. Within the required Week or Topic Block click on the Add Activity dropdown menu arrow and select the required [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types|Assignment Type]]

To '''edit an existing Assignment activity''', login to your course with the appropriate access rights (e.g.editing teacher, course creator or administrator) and Turn Editing On and select the Update icon against the relevant Assignment item. Alternatively, after logging into your course simply click on the name of the Assignment activity you wish to edit and then click the Edit Settings link under ''Assignment administration'' within the Settings block.

==General settings==

===Assignment name===
Give your Assignment a name (e.g. “Report on Topic 1 Content”). The title entered here will be the name that learners see in the course content area. Learners will click on this name to view the details of the assignment and, if applicable, submit their work.

===Description===
The description of the assignment, which should include precise instructions for students regarding the subject of the assignment, the form, in which it should be submitted, the grading criteria etc.

Use this area to describe the assignment and explain what learners are expected to do to complete this task. The assignment description can be as brief or as detailed as you feel is necessary to meet the needs of your learners. However, it is to your benefit to provide as much detail and information as possible, especially at the start of the course while you are still establishing procedures. Generally, the more information you are able to provide here the fewer questions and problems your learners will have completing the task.

The assignment description field can also be used to provide information or resources related to the assignment. An instructor, for example, could provide some literature, a video clip, an image, or a link to a webpage, and then ask the learners to use these materials in completing the task.

===Available from===
The Available from setting prevents students from submitting their assignment before the shown date.

This option allows an instructor to set a day, month, year and time (24 hour clock) from which learners can begin to submit their assignments. Please note that this setting does not hide the activity from the learners. Instead, the learner will see the activity, be able to view the instructions and use any materials you have include in the description, but the learner will not be able to submit or complete the assignment until the Available from date.

By default the Available from date is Enabled (ticked) and is set at the day and time you selected Add Assignment. To Disable this feature simply ensure the Enable checkbox is not marked.

===Due date===
The Due date setting prevents students from submitting their assignment after the shown date.

This option allows an instructor to set a day, month, year and time (24 hour clock) before which learners must submit their assignment.

By default the Available from date is Enabled (ticked) and is set at 7 days ahead of the day and time you selected Add Assignment. To Disable this feature simply ensure the Enable checkbox is not marked.

====Notes on Date Settings====
Both the Available from and Due dates are displayed for learners in the assignment details, but the Due date is also marked in the course Calendar as a visible reminder for participants and provides a link to the activity.

Your use of the Available from and Due date settings will probably be dependent on the overall structure of your course. If you are facilitating an open ended course or a course with rolling enrolment, then you might find it easier to not apply the Available from and Due date settings. This arrangement will allow the learners to access the assignment according to their own schedule and progress within the course.

Alternatively, if you are working within a more structured format or adhering to a timeline, the Available from and Due date settings are useful for keeping learners on schedule. Using the Available from setting will make it possible for learners to preview upcoming activities, while at the same time, prevent them from finishing the course in the first week and not returning for additional activities or information. Likewise, the Due dates help keep the learners from lagging too far behind and decrease the likelihood that the learner will become overwhelmed by having to complete several weeks worth of work at once.

===Prevent late submissions===
Setting Prevent late submissions to Yes will prevent learners from being able to submit this assignment after the Due date (where specified). If you set Prevent late submissions to No, then learners can submit the assignment as long as the assignment is visible or accessible to them but their submissions will be marked as late.

==Grade Settings==

===Grade===
Specify the maximum grade or [[Scales|Scale]] to be applied to the assignment. If you will not be giving a grade for the assignment, choose No Grade.

===Grade Category===
Any custom [[Grade_categories|Grade Categories]] that have been created within your site or course will be listed here and will be available for selection. Select the required Grade Category to add this assignment as a [[Grade_items|Grade item]] within this Category.

==Common module settings==

=== Group mode ===
When course group mode is turned on, the [[Groups|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 from learner view. A hidden assignment will be displayed greyed out on the main course page for those with teacher, creator, manager or admin type roles but invisible to students/learners.

===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 in the gradebook, though it can only be edited on the activity settings page.

==Restrict access settings==
The [[Restrict_access_settings|Restrict access]] area becomes visible in Moodle activities and resource settings if [[Conditional_activities|Conditional Activities]] have been enabled.

===Allow access from===
The Access from date determines the day, month and year students may first access the activity via the assignment name link on the course page. To activate this option click in the Enable checkbox to add a tick.

===Allow access until===
The Access until date determines the day, month and year students may last access the activity via the assignment name link on the course page. To activate this option click in the Enable checkbox to add a tick.

'''Note:''' The difference between access from/to dates and availability settings for the activity is that outside the set dates the latter allows students to view the activity description, whereas access from/to dates prevent access completely.

===Grade Condition===
This setting determines any grade conditions which must be met in order for students to access the activity. Multiple grade conditions may be set using the 'Add 2 grade conditions to form' button. If there are multiples completion conditions applied to an activity, it will only be accessible to learners when ''all'' grade conditions are met. See [[Conditional_activities_settings|Conditional Activities]] for more information.

===Before activity can be accessed===
Before a learner has fulfilled the the Grade Conditions specified above and the activity is still inaccessible to them, you can choose whether to show the activity greyed-out on the course page with the grade conditions listed (restriction information) or to hide the activity from learner view entirely.

=Assignment Type Specific Settings=

==Advanced uploading of files==
The Advanced upload of files assignment type allows a learner to upload and edit multiple files to form their final submission while the assignment is open and accessible to students.

[[Image:Advanceduploadsettings.png|frame|center|Advanced uploading of file Assignment Type Settings]]

===Maximum size===
This setting specifies the maximum size per file of '''each''' of the files that the students can upload as part of their submission. This maximum upload size may only be equal to or less than the course limit (which in turn may only be equal to or less than the site limit)

===Allow deleting===
If enabled, students may delete uploaded files at any time before submitting for grading.

===Maximum number of uploaded files===
The maximum number of files which may be uploaded by each learner. As this figure is not displayed anywhere, it is suggested that it is mentioned in the assignment Description.

===Allow notes===
If enabled, students may enter notes into a text area associated with the assignment
This text box can be used for communication with the grading person, assignment progress description or any other written activity.

===Hide description before available date===
If enabled, the assignment description is hidden before the "Available from" date. Only the assignment name is displayed.

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, teachers receive email notification whenever students add or update an assignment submission.

Only teachers who are able to grade the particular assignment are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive notification about students in other groups.

===Enable 'Send for marking' button===

Where grading is enabled, the "Send for marking" button allows students to indicate to the teacher that they have finished working on an assignment. The teacher may choose to revert the assignment to draft status (if it requires further work, for example).

'''Note:''' this means that the learner can no longer edit their submission (to do so would risk invalidating any work their assessor had done on their submission). If students regret their decision and wish to edit, they need to request that somebody with course editing access reverts them to Draft Status. This is also true if Send For Marking is never turned on and a submission is uploaded; the teacher must take steps to give the student a chance to resubmit.

To revert to the draft stage or let a student resubmit, click on the assignment activity, then click on ''View # submitted assignments,'' in the upper right. On the page with the roster and their submissions, click '''Grade''' (or '''Update''' for students who have already been graded) for the student who should get to resubmit. When the new window opens, click Revert to Draft at the lower right, or click the black '''X''' to delete their files.

==Online text==

===Allow resubmitting===
If set to Yes, students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for them to be re-graded). This may be useful if the teacher wants to encourage an iterative process to assignment completion.

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, teachers receive email notification whenever students add or update an assignment submission. Only teachers who are able to grade the particular assignment are notified.

===Comment inline===
If enabled, the submission text will be copied into the feedback comment field during grading, making it easier to comment inline (using a different colour, perhaps) or to edit the original text. Note that if the teacher makes inline comments and changes, the student's original submission is kept intact.

If inline comments are not permitted, then the teacher will see the student’s submission with a separate area for making comments.

==Upload a single file==

===Allow resubmitting===
If enabled, students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for them to be re-graded).

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, then teachers are alerted with a short email whenever students add or update an assignment submission. Only teachers who are able to grade the particular submission are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, then teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive any notices about students in other groups.

===Maximum Size===
This setting specifies the maximum size per file of '''each''' of the files that the students can upload as part of their submission. This maximum upload size may only be equal to or less than the course limit (which in turn may only be equal to or less than the site limit).

==Offline Activity==
This [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types|Assignment Type]] doesn't currently have any specific settings.

==Save or Cancel==
To save your setting changes and to create your assignment activity choose either''' Save and return to course''' or '''Save and display'''. To discard your changes click '''Cancel'''.

Give your Assignment a name (e.g. “Report on Topic 1 Content”). The title entered here will be the name that learners see in the course content area. Learners will click on this name to view the details of the assignment and, if applicable, submit their work.

===Description===
The description of the assignment, which should include precise instructions for students regarding the subject of the assignment, the form, in which it should be submitted, the grading criteria etc.

Use this area to describe the assignment and explain what learners are expected to do to complete this task. The assignment description can be as brief or as detailed as you feel is necessary to meet the needs of your learners. However, it is to your benefit to provide as much detail and information as possible, especially at the start of the course while you are still establishing procedures. Generally, the more information you are able to provide here the fewer questions and problems your learners will have completing the task.

The assignment description field can also be used to provide information or resources related to the assignment. An instructor, for example, could provide some literature, a video clip, an image, or a link to a webpage, and then ask the learners to use these materials in completing the task.

===Available from===
The Available from setting prevents students from submitting their assignment before the shown date.

This option allows an instructor to set a day, month, year and time (24 hour clock) from which learners can begin to submit their assignments. Please note that this setting does not hide the activity from the learners. Instead, the learner will see the activity, be able to view the instructions and use any materials you have include in the description, but the learner will not be able to submit or complete the assignment until the Available from date.

By default the Available from date is Enabled (ticked) and is set at the day and time you selected Add Assignment. To Disable this feature simply ensure the Enable checkbox is not marked.

===Due date===
The Due date setting prevents students from submitting their assignment after the shown date.

This option allows an instructor to set a day, month, year and time (24 hour clock) before which learners must submit their assignment.

By default the Available from date is Enabled (ticked) and is set at 7 days ahead of the day and time you selected Add Assignment. To Disable this feature simply ensure the Enable checkbox is not marked.

====Notes on Date Settings====
Both the Available from and Due dates are displayed for learners in the assignment details, but the Due date is also marked in the course Calendar as a visible reminder for participants and provides a link to the activity.

Your use of the Available from and Due date settings will probably be dependent on the overall structure of your course. If you are facilitating an open ended course or a course with rolling enrolment, then you might find it easier to not apply the Available from and Due date settings. This arrangement will allow the learners to access the assignment according to their own schedule and progress within the course.

Alternatively, if you are working within a more structured format or adhering to a timeline, the Available from and Due date settings are useful for keeping learners on schedule. Using the Available from setting will make it possible for learners to preview upcoming activities, while at the same time, prevent them from finishing the course in the first week and not returning for additional activities or information. Likewise, the Due dates help keep the learners from lagging too far behind and decrease the likelihood that the learner will become overwhelmed by having to complete several weeks worth of work at once.

===Prevent late submissions===
Setting Prevent late submissions to Yes will prevent learners from being able to submit this assignment after the Due date (where specified). If you set Prevent late submissions to No, then learners can submit the assignment as long as the assignment is visible or accessible to them but their submissions will be marked as late.

==Grade Settings==

===Grade===
Specify the maximum grade or [[Scales|Scale]] to be applied to the assignment. If you will not be giving a grade for the assignment, choose No Grade.

===Grade Category===
Any custom [[Grade_categories|Grade Categories]] that have been created within your site or course will be listed here and will be available for selection. Select the required Grade Category to add this assignment as a [[Grade_items|Grade item]] within this Category.

==Common module settings==

=== Group mode ===
When course group mode is turned on, the [[Groups|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 from learner view. A hidden assignment will be displayed greyed out on the main course page for those with teacher, creator, manager or admin type roles but invisible to students/learners.

===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 in the gradebook, though it can only be edited on the activity settings page.

==Restrict access settings==
The [[Restrict_access_settings|Restrict access]] area becomes visible in Moodle activities and resource settings if [[Conditional_activities|Conditional Activities]] have been enabled.

===Allow access from===
The Access from date determines the day, month and year students may first access the activity via the assignment name link on the course page. To activate this option click in the Enable checkbox to add a tick.

===Allow access until===
The Access until date determines the day, month and year students may last access the activity via the assignment name link on the course page. To activate this option click in the Enable checkbox to add a tick.

'''Note:''' The difference between access from/to dates and availability settings for the activity is that outside the set dates the latter allows students to view the activity description, whereas access from/to dates prevent access completely.

===Grade Condition===
This setting determines any grade conditions which must be met in order for students to access the activity. Multiple grade conditions may be set using the 'Add 2 grade conditions to form' button. If there are multiples completion conditions applied to an activity, it will only be accessible to learners when ''all'' grade conditions are met. See [[Conditional_activities_settings|Conditional Activities]] for more information.

===Before activity can be accessed===
Before a learner has fulfilled the the Grade Conditions specified above and the activity is still inaccessible to them, you can choose whether to show the activity greyed-out on the course page with the grade conditions listed (restriction information) or to hide the activity from learner view entirely.

=Assignment Type Specific Settings=

==Advanced uploading of files==

===Maximum size===
This setting specifies the maximum size per file of '''each''' of the files that the students can upload as part of their submission. This maximum upload size may only be equal to or less than the course limit (which in turn may only be equal to or less than the site limit)

===Allow deleting===
If enabled, students may delete uploaded files at any time before submitting for grading.

===Maximum number of uploaded files===
The maximum number of files which may be uploaded by each learner. As this figure is not displayed anywhere, it is suggested that it is mentioned in the assignment Description.

===Allow notes===
If enabled, students may enter notes into a text area associated with the assignment
This text box can be used for communication with the grading person, assignment progress description or any other written activity.

===Hide description before available date===
If enabled, the assignment description is hidden before the "Available from" date. Only the assignment name is displayed.

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, teachers receive email notification whenever students add or update an assignment submission.

Only teachers who are able to grade the particular assignment are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive notification about students in other groups.

===Enable 'Send for marking' button===

Where grading is enabled, the "Send for marking" button allows students to indicate to the teacher that they have finished working on an assignment. The teacher may choose to revert the assignment to draft status (if it requires further work, for example).

'''Note:''' this means that the learner can no longer edit their submission (to do so would risk invalidating any work their assessor had done on their submission). If students regret their decision and wish to edit, they need to request that somebody with course editing access reverts them to Draft Status. This is also true if Send For Marking is never turned on and a submission is uploaded; the teacher must take steps to give the student a chance to resubmit.

To revert to the draft stage or let a student resubmit, click on the assignment activity, then click on ''View # submitted assignments,'' in the upper right. On the page with the roster and their submissions, click '''Grade''' (or '''Update''' for students who have already been graded) for the student who should get to resubmit. When the new window opens, click Revert to Draft at the lower right, or click the black '''X''' to delete their files.

==Online text==

===Allow resubmitting===
If set to Yes, students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for them to be re-graded). This may be useful if the teacher wants to encourage an iterative process to assignment completion.

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, teachers receive email notification whenever students add or update an assignment submission. Only teachers who are able to grade the particular assignment are notified.

===Comment inline===
If enabled, the submission text will be copied into the feedback comment field during grading, making it easier to comment inline (using a different colour, perhaps) or to edit the original text. Note that if the teacher makes inline comments and changes, the student's original submission is kept intact.

If inline comments are not permitted, then the teacher will see the student’s submission with a separate area for making comments.

==Upload a single file==

===Allow resubmitting===
If enabled, students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for them to be re-graded).

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, then teachers are alerted with a short email whenever students add or update an assignment submission. Only teachers who are able to grade the particular submission are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, then teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive any notices about students in other groups.

===Maximum Size===
This setting specifies the maximum size per file of '''each''' of the files that the students can upload as part of their submission. This maximum upload size may only be equal to or less than the course limit (which in turn may only be equal to or less than the site limit).

==Offline Activity==
This [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types|Assignment Type]] doesn't currently have any specific settings.

==Save or Cancel==
To save your setting changes and to create your assignment activity choose either''' Save and return to course''' or '''Save and display'''. To discard your changes click '''Cancel'''.

==Tips and Tricks==
* Want to use an Assignment activity again in another Moodle site? Copy the assignment by backing up the course and selecting just the assignment, with or without students and their data. Restore the backup to the same course or to a new course. Move the copied assignment and or edit it.
*Want to use an Assignment activity in another course you teach? Use the Import function in the course administration block.
* Where Allow Resubmitting has been enabled, a learner can upload a file again to overwrite the old file, and then the submission will be marked as needing to be graded again in the ''View # submitted assignments'' page.
* 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.

Meredith25: Stage 2 of revamp...updated all generic settings within Assignment and Advanced upload type,

{{Improve}}

{{Assignment}}
This page describes the various configuration options available within the Assignment module - both at the Site level and the Activity level.

=Module Settings=

The following configuration options are available under Site Administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Assignment. They apply to all four [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types|Assignment Types]] .

==Maximum size==

An Administrator can specify the maximum size of any individual file uploaded within the Upload Single File or Advanced Upload of Files Assignment type across all courses on the site. This limit may be equal to or less than course file upload limit

==Count==
Applicable the Online Text Assignment type only, you can set whether Moodle automatically counts the number of words or letters of a submission. A word or number count is displayed in parenthesis to Teachers and Learners after the Last Edited date and time stamp within the Assignment submission.

==Show recent submissions==
This option allows everyone to see notifications of submissions in [[Recent activity]] reports and the Recent Activity Block, within a course context. Note that the default for this option is Yes which means students will be able to see when classmates have submitted or updated any Assignments.

=Assignment Activity Settings=
The following configuration options are available when creating or editing/updating any Assignment activity. Settings specific to each of the [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types|Assignment Types]] are detailed separately below.

To '''add a new Assignment activity''' to your course login with the appropriate access rights (e.g.editing teacher, course creator or administrator) and Turn Editing On. Within the required Week or Topic Block click on the Add Activity dropdown menu arrow and select one of the four different [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types|Assignment Types]]

To '''edit an existing Assignment activity''', login to your course with the appropriate access rights (e.g.editing teacher, course creator or administrator) and Turn Editing On and select the Update icon against the relevant Assignment item.

==Upload a single file settings==

===Allow resubmitting===
By default, students cannot resubmit assignments once the teacher has graded them. If you turn this option on, then students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for you to re-grade). This may be useful if the teacher wants to encourage students to do better work in an iterative process.

To make a resubmission, it is important to note that the instructor does not have to do anything else for the user to make their resubmission, other than that one setting for ''Allow Resubmitting''. Even if they grade the assignment, the user needs only upload a file again to overwrite the old file, and then the submission will be marked as needing to be graded again in the ''View # submitted assignments'' page.

Note: 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.

Only teachers who are able to grade the particular submission are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, then teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive any notices about students in other groups.

===Maximum Size===
This setting specifies the maximum size of the file which the students can upload as their submission. If your students are uploading word processing documents or spreadsheets, typically you only need to allow for a few megabytes. If your students are submitting multimedia projects or other files with many images or audio clips, then the space allowed will need to be larger.

==Online text settings==

===Allow resubmitting===
By default, students cannot resubmit assignments once the teacher has graded them. If you turn this option on, then students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for you to re-grade).

The grade for the assignment is specified here. Choosing a number will become the maximum grade for this assignment. Apart from the numbers, one of the descriptive grades which have been defined for this course can also be picked.

If you will not be giving a grade for the assignment, choose No Grade.

==Upload a single file settings==

To make a resubmission, it is important to note that the instructor does not have to do anything else for the user to make their resubmission, other than that one setting for ''Allow Resubmitting''. Even if they grade the assignment, the user needs only upload a file again to overwrite the old file, and then the submission will be marked as needing to be graded again in the ''View # submitted assignments'' page.

Note: 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.

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, then teachers are alerted with a short email whenever students add or update an assignment submission.

Only teachers who are able to grade the particular submission are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, then teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive any notices about students in other groups.

===Maximum Size===
This setting specifies the maximum size of the file which the students can upload as their submission. If your students are uploading word processing documents or spreadsheets, typically you only need to allow for a few megabytes. If your students are submitting multimedia projects or other files with many images or audio clips, then the space allowed will need to be larger.

==Online text settings==

===Allow resubmitting===
By default, students cannot resubmit assignments once the teacher has graded them. If you turn this option on, then students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for you to re-grade). This may be useful if the teacher wants to encourage students to do better work in an iterative process.

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, then teachers are alerted with a short email whenever students add or update an assignment submission.

Only teachers who are able to grade the particular submission are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, then teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive any notices about students in other groups.

===Comment Inline===
If this option is selected, then the original submission will be copied into the feedback comment field during grading, making it easier to comment inline (using a different colour, perhaps) or to edit the original text. Of course even if the teacher makes inline comments and changes, the student's original submission is kept intact.

If inline comments are not permitted, then the teacher will see the student’s submission and a separate area for making comments.

==Advanced uploading of files==

===Maximum size===
This setting specifies the maximum size per file of '''each''' of the files that the students can upload as their submission. For example, if you set the limit to one megabyte, students can upload files up to one megabyte in size. If your students are uploading word processing documents or spreadsheets, typically you only need to allow for a few megabytes. If your students are submitting multimedia projects or other files with many images or audio clips, then the space allowed will need to be larger.

Remember there are other places which can place limits on the maximum file size. The course administration block, the site administration block and several server files which are outside the direct control of Moodle.

===Allow deleting===
If enabled, students may delete uploaded files at any time before submitting for grading.

===Maximum number of uploaded files===
Maximum number of files each participant may upload, this number is not shown to students. It is a best practice to remind students of the actual number of requested files in assignment description. For example: "Only 3 files maybe uploaded in this assignment."

===Allow notes===
If enabled, students may enter notes into text area associated with the assignment.
This text box can be used for communication with the grading person, assignment progress description or any other written activity.

===Hide description before available date===
If enabled, assignment description is hidden before the opening date.

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, then teachers are alerted with a short email whenever students add or update an assignment submission.

Only teachers who are able to grade the particular submission are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, then teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive any notices about students in other groups.

===Enable Send for marking button===
If enabled, students may progress from Draft status by clicking the Send For Marking button. The submission is then pushed through for grading.

NB this means that they can no longer edit their submission (to do so would risk invalidating any work their assessor had done on their submission). If students regret their decision and wish to edit, they need to request that somebody with editing access reverts them to Draft Status.

As we know, the "Send For Marking" button pushes an assignment through for grading if enabled. After the send for marking button is pushed, to get back to that draft stage and remove their submission, the teacher must step in. This is also true if Send For Marking is never turned on; the teacher must take steps to give the student a chance to resubmit.

To revert to the draft stage or let a student resubmit, click on the assignment activity, then click on ''View # submitted assignments,'' in the upper right. On the page with the roster and their submissions, click '''Grade''' (or '''Update''' for students who have already been graded) for the student who should get to resubmit. When the new window opens, click Revert to Draft at the lower right, or click the black '''X''' to delete their files.

== Common module settings ==

=== Group mode ===
When course group mode is turned on, the [[Groups|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.

==Tips and tricks==
*Want to use an Assignment activity again? Copy the assignment by backing up the course and selecting just the assignment, with or without students and their data. Restore the backup to the same course or to a new course. Move the copied assignment and or edit it.
*Want to use an Assignment activity in another course you teach? Use the import function in the course administration block.

==Site administration settings==

The assignment module has additional settings which may be changed by an administrator in ''Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Assignment''.

===Maximum size===

This is for setting the default maximum file upload size (subject to course and site limits).

===Count===

This is the setting to choose whether to count the number of words or the number of letters in an online text assignment.

===Show recent submissions===

This is for setting whether students can see other students' recent [[Assignment submissions|assignment submissions]] in the [[Recent Activity block]] and the [[Full report of recent activity]]. Teachers can always see all recent submissions. If disabled, students can only see their own recent submissions.

Meredith25: Adding links and reference to different Assignment types, cleaning up General Activity settings content

{{Improve}}

{{Assignment}}
This page describes the various configuration options available within the Assignment module - both at the Site level and the Activity level.

=Module Settings=

The following configuration options are available under Site Administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Assignment . They apply to all four [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types]] .

==Maximum size==

An Administrator can specify the maximum size of any individual file uploaded within the Upload Single File or Advanced Upload of Files Assignment type across all courses on the site. This limit may be equal to or less than course file upload limit

==Count==
Applicable the Online Text Assignment type only, you can set whether Moodle automatically counts the number of words or letters of a submission. A word or number count is displayed in parenthesis to Teachers and Learners after the Last Edited date and time stamp within the Assignment submission.

==Show recent submissions==
This option allows everyone to see notifications of submissions in [[Recent activity]] reports and the Recent Activity Block, within a course context. Note that the default for this option is Yes which means students will be able to see when classmates have submitted or updated any Assignments.

=Activity Settings=
The following configuration options are available when creating or editing/updating any Assignment activity. Settings specific to each of the Assignment_module#Assignment_types are detailed separately below.

To '''add a new Assignment activity''' to your course login with the appropriate access rights (e.g.editing teacher, course creator or administrator) and Turn Editing On. Within the required Week or Topic Block click on the Add Activity dropdown menu arrow and select one of the four different [[Assignment_module#Assignment_types]]

To '''edit an existing Assignment activity''', login to your course with the appropriate access rights (e.g.editing teacher, course creator or administrator) and Turn Editing On and select the Update icon against the relevant Assignment item. Alternatively, after logging into your course simply click on the name of the Assignment activity you wish to edit and then click the Edit Settings link under ''Assignment administration'' within the Settings block.

==General settings==

===Assignment name===
Give your Assignment a name (e.g. “Report on Topic 1 Content”). The title entered here will be the name that learners see in the course content area. Learners will click on this name to view the details of the assignment and, if applicable, submit their work.

===Description===
The description of the assignment, which should include precise instructions for students regarding the subject of the assignment, the form, in which it should be submitted, the grading criteria etc.

Use this area to describe the assignment and explain what learners are expected to do to complete this task. The assignment description can be as brief or as detailed as you feel is necessary to meet the needs of your learners. However, it is to your benefit to provide as much detail and information as possible, especially at the start of the course while you are still establishing procedures. Generally, the more information you are able to provide here the fewer questions and problems your learners will have completing the task.

The assignment description field can also be used to provide information or resources related to the assignment. An instructor, for example, could provide some literature, a video clip, an image, or a link to a webpage, and then ask the learners to use these materials in completing the task.

===Available from===
The Available from setting prevents students from submitting their assignment before the shown date.

This option allows an instructor to set a day, month, year and time (24 hour clock) from which learners can begin to submit their assignments. Please note that this setting does not hide the activity from the learners. Instead, the learner will see the activity, be able to view the instructions and use any materials you have include in the description, but the learner will not be able to submit or complete the assignment until the Available from date.

By default the Available from date is Enabled (ticked) and is set at the day and time you selected Add Assignment. To Disable this feature simply ensure the Enable checkbox is not marked.

===Due date===
The Due date setting prevents students from submitting their assignment after the shown date.

This option allows an instructor to set a day, month, year and time (24 hour clock) before which learners must submit their assignment.

By default the Available from date is Enabled (ticked) and is set at 7 days ahead of the day and time you selected Add Assignment. To Disable this feature simply ensure the Enable checkbox is not marked.

====Notes on Date Settings====
Both the Available from and Due dates are displayed for learners in the assignment details, but the Due date is also marked in the course Calendar as a visible reminder for participants and provides a link to the activity.

Your use of the Available from and Due date settings will probably be dependent on the overall structure of your course. If you are facilitating an open ended course or a course with rolling enrolment, then you might find it easier to not apply the Available from and Due date settings. This arrangement will allow the learners to access the assignment according to their own schedule and progress within the course.

Alternatively, if you are working within a more structured format or adhering to a timeline, the Available from and Due date settings are useful for keeping learners on schedule. Using the Available from setting will make it possible for learners to preview upcoming activities, while at the same time, prevent them from finishing the course in the first week and not returning for additional activities or information. Likewise, the Due dates help keep the learners from lagging too far behind and decrease the likelihood that the learner will become overwhelmed by having to complete several weeks worth of work at once.

===Prevent late submissions===
Setting Prevent late submissions to Yes will prevent learners from being able to submit this assignment after the Due date (where specified). If you set Prevent late submissions to No, then learners can submit the assignment as long as the assignment is visible or accessible to them but their submissions will be marked as late.

==Grade==

The grade for the assignment is specified here. Choosing a number will become the maximum grade for this assignment. Apart from the numbers, one of the descriptive grades which have been defined for this course can also be picked.

If you will not be giving a grade for the assignment, choose No Grade.

==Upload a single file settings==

===Allow resubmitting===
By default, students cannot resubmit assignments once the teacher has graded them. If you turn this option on, then students will be allowed to resubmit assignments after they have been graded (for you to re-grade). This may be useful if the teacher wants to encourage students to do better work in an iterative process.

To make a resubmission, it is important to note that the instructor does not have to do anything else for the user to make their resubmission, other than that one setting for ''Allow Resubmitting''. Even if they grade the assignment, the user needs only upload a file again to overwrite the old file, and then the submission will be marked as needing to be graded again in the ''View # submitted assignments'' page.

Note: 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.

===Email alerts to teachers===
If enabled, then teachers are alerted with a short email whenever students add or update an assignment submission.

Only teachers who are able to grade the particular submission are notified. So, for example, if the course uses separate groups, then teachers restricted to particular groups won't receive any notices about students in other groups.

===Maximum Size===
This setting specifies the maximum size of the file which the students can upload as their submission. If your students are uploading word processing documents or spreadsheets, typically you only need to allow for a few megabytes. If your students are submitting multimedia projects or other files with many images or audio clips, then the space allowed will need to be larger.

Meredith25: Stage 1 of Assignment docs revamping. Added Site module settings and add/edit instructions as per page notes

{{Improve}}

{{Assignment}}
This page describes the various configuration options available within the Assignment module - both at the Site level and the Activity level.

=Module Settings=

The following configuration options are available under Site Administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Assignment

==Maximum size==

An Administrator can specify the maximum size of any individual file uploaded within the Upload Single File or Advanced Upload of Files Assignment type across all courses on the site. This limit may be equal to or less than course file upload limit

==Count==
Applicable the Online Text Assignment type only, you can set whether Moodle automatically counts the number of words or letters of a submission.
A word or number count is displayed in parenthesis to Teachers and Learners after the Last Edited date and time stamp within the Assignment submission.

==Show recent submissions==
This option allows everyone to see notifications of submissions in [[Recent activity]] reports and the Recent Activity Block, within a course context. Note that the default for this option is Yes which means students will be able to see when classmates have submitted or updated any Assignments.

=Activity Settings=
The following configuration options are available when creating or editing/updating an Assignment activity.

To '''add a new Assignment activity''' to your course login with the appropriate access rights (e.g.editing teacher, course creator or administrator) and Turn Editing On. Within the required Week or Topic Block click on the Add and Activity dropdown menu arrow and select one of the four different Assignment activity types.

To '''edit an existing Assignment activity''', login to your course with the appropriate access rights (e.g.editing teacher, course creator or administrator) and Turn Editing On and select the Update icon against the relevant Assignment item. Alternatively, after logging into your course simply click on the name of the Assignment activity you wish to edit and then click the Edit Settings link under ''Assignment administration'' within the Settings block.

==General settings==

===Assignment name===
Give your assignment a name (e.g. “Report on Topic Content”). The name entered here will be the name that learners see in the course content area. Learners will click on this name to view the details of the assignment and, if applicable, submit their work.

===Description===

The description of the assignment, which should include precise instructions for students regarding the subject of the assignment, the form, in which it should be submitted, the grading criteria etc.

Use this area to describe the assignment and explain what learners are expected to do to complete this task. The assignment description can be as brief or as expensive as you feel is necessary to meet the needs of your learners. However, it is to your benefit to provide as much detail and information as possible, especially at the start of the course while you are still establishing procedures. Generally, the more information you are able to provide here the fewer questions and problems your learners will have completing the task.

The assignment description field can also be used to provide information or resources related to the assignment. An instructor, for example, could provide some literature, a video clip, an image, or a link to a webpage, and then ask the learners to use these materials in completing the task. (Alternatively, the instructor could post these items using the Resource Module and refer students to them in the assignment details. See the section titled Resource Module for more information.)

Finally, if you are adding rich content, tables, etc. to your description, it is best to expand the HTML editor into full screen mode so you can make your webpage document look nice when participants view it.

===Available from===

Setting this date prevents students from submitting their assignments before this date.

The Available from date setting allows an instructor to set a day and time at which learners can begin submitting the assignment. This setting does not, however, hide the activity from the learners. Instead, the learner will see the activity, be able to view the instructions and use any materials you have include in the description, but the learner will not be able to submit or complete the assignment until the Available from date.

To activate the Available from date, make sure that the “Disable” checkbox is not marked. Then, use the drop down menus to choose the day, month and year. You can also set a time with the last two fields on the line. Note: the time is based on a 24 hour clock or “military time,” so 14:00 refers to 2:00 p.m.

If you do not wish to use the Available from option, just check the “Disable” checkbox by clicking on it; the rest of the field will turn gray and the date will be ignored.

===Due date===

And this prevents students from submitting their assignments after this date.

The Due date field works in much the same way as the Available from field with a few small differences. Unchecking the “Disable” checkbox activates the Due date option and you have the same ability to select a day, month, year, and time. If the checkbox is checked, then the due date will be not be applied.

As with the Available from setting, the Due date defines when learners are able to submit their assignment. However, with the Due date settings, you also have the Prevent late submissions option (below the date and time fields). Setting Prevent late submissions to Yes will prevent learners from being able to submit this assignment after the Due date. If you set Prevent late submissions to No, then learners can submit the assignment as long as the assignment is visible or accessible to them.

Both the Available from and Due dates are displayed for learners in the assignment details, but the Due date is also marked in the course Calendar as a visible reminder for participants. Furthermore, the indicator on the calendar will actually link learners directly to the activity!

Your use of the Available from and Due date settings will probably be dependent on the overall structure of your course. If you are facilitating an open ended course or a course with rolling enrollment, then you might find it easier to not apply the Available from and Due date settings (leave the boxes checked). This arrangement will allow the learners to access the assignments according to their own schedule and progress within the course. Alternatively, if you are working within a more structured format or adhering to a timeline, the Available from and Due date settings are useful for keeping learners on schedule. Using the Available from setting will make it possible for learners to preview upcoming activities, while at the same time, prevent them from finishing the course in the first week and not returning for additional activities or information. Likewise, the Due dates help keep the learners from lagging too far behind and decrease the likelihood that the learner will become overwhelmed by having to complete several weeks worth of work at once.

===Prevent late submissions===

Set to "No", assignments submitted after the due date will be marked as late, but students will still be able to submit them. Set to "Yes", assignment submission will be blocked after the due date.

==Grade==

The grade for the assignment is specified here. Choosing a number will become the maximum grade for this assignment. Apart from the numbers, one of the descriptive grades which have been defined for this course can also be picked.

== Common module settings ==

=== Group mode ===
When course group mode is turned on, the [[Groups|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.

==Tips and tricks==
*Want to use an Assignment activity again? Copy the assignment by backing up the course and selecting just the assignment, with or without students and their data. Restore the backup to the same course or to a new course. Move the copied assignment and or edit it.
*Want to use an Assignment activity in another course you teach? Use the import function in the course administration block.

==Site administration settings==

The assignment module has additional settings which may be changed by an administrator in ''Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Assignment''.

===Maximum size===

This is for setting the default maximum file upload size (subject to course and site limits).

===Count===

This is the setting to choose whether to count the number of words or the number of letters in an online text assignment.

===Show recent submissions===

This is for setting whether students can see other students' recent [[Assignment submissions|assignment submissions]] in the [[Recent Activity block]] and the [[Full report of recent activity]]. Teachers can always see all recent submissions. If disabled, students can only see their own recent submissions.

Meredith25: Add page

When viewing a user's profile page (Home > Users > Firstname Lastname > View profile) the Settings block allows you to view the user's role assignments (Settings > Roles > This user's role assignments).

A user's role assignment list shows which roles a user has been assigned and the context at which they have been applied

For example:

===Demo User's role assignments===

====System====

* '''Category: Miscellaneous'''
**'''Course: Moodle 2.x Features Demo'''
Student 
*'''Forum: Introduce Yourself Here'''
Non-editing teacher

* '''Category: Testing and Demos'''
**'''Course: Firstname's Testing Course'''
Teacher

A link to Assign Roles (Edit icon) and Check Permissions (View icon) is given (in context) against each Role listed.

The '''Feedback module''' allows you to create and conduct surveys to collect feedback. Unlike the [[Survey module|Survey]] tool it allows you to write your own questions, rather than choose from a list of pre-written questions and unlike the [[Quiz_module|Quiz]] tool, you can create non-graded questions. The Feedback activity is ideal for the likes of course or teacher evaluations.

The Feedback module is included in Moodle 2.0, but disabled by default.

The long term plan is to replace Feedback with a new module combining the best of Questionnaire, Feedback and Survey. See [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Survey_2_brainstorm Development:Survey 2 brainstorm]

==Enabling Feedback Block==
To provide the option of adding a Feedback block to a course, you must first ensure the block type has been enabled. When added to a course, the Feedback block will display a list of all Feedback activities associated with a course. This is helpful for when you want to draw the user's attention to completing the Feedback activity.

While creating or editing a Feedback activity, you can set the following '''After submitting options''' :

==Page after submit==
You can add custom content to the page a user sees following submission of their answers. This is typically something along the lines of 'Thank you for submitting your feedback...'. This content is created via an [[HTML editor]] so may contain text, links, images or multimedia if required.

==URL for Continue button==
By default, after a feedback response is submitted, the target of the continue button shown at the bottom of the screen is the course page, however you can specify another target URL for this button.

Glossary auto-linking is a site [[Filter]] that will create links to a glossary activity entry where the word or phrase of the glossary entry is used within the same course in which the glossary is located. This includes forum postings, pages, labels etc.

Glossary auto-linking must be enabled by an administrator via ''Site Administration > Plugins > Filters''. This Filter can be enabled by selecting either '''On''' (where glossary entries will be by default auto-linked) or '''Off but available''' (where the option to use auto-linking is provided in the glossary activity settings).

In addition, you can apply this filter to '''Content''' or to '''Content and headings''' within a course. Please note applying filters to headings as well as content can greatly increase the load on your server. It is recommended to use the 'Apply to' settings sparingly. The main use is with the multilang filter.

Using the up/down arrows in the '''Order''' column you can specify the order in which each of the enabled [[Filters]] are applied.

{{Improve}}

{{Database}}
The database activity module allows the teacher and/or students to build, display and search a bank of record entries about any conceivable topic. The format and structure of these entries can be almost unlimited, including images, files, URLs, numbers and text amongst other things.

This module will create one table per instance, but you may create as many instances you need. The records can be linked to other tables and all resources in the course, if you allow autolink in a name field, but you cannot build a SQL query.

The table is not created in the SQL database, it is just stored there in lines of other SQL tables (mdl_data*).

== How to use the database activity module ==
* The first task is to [[Adding/editing_a_database|add the database]]. You will be asked to give it a name, provide some text explaining its intended purpose to users and set a few other options.
* Next you define the kind of [[Database fields|fields]] that define the information you wish to collect. For example a database of famous paintings may have a picture field called ''painting'', for uploading an image file showing the painting, and two text fields called ''artist'' and ''title'' for the name of the artist and the painting.
* It is then optional to edit the [[Database templates|database templates]] to alter the way in which the database displays entries.
* Note that if you later edit the fields in the databases you must use the Reset template button, or manually edit the template, to ensure the new fields are added to the display
* the [[Teacher]] and/or [[Students]] can start entering data and (optionally) commenting on and grading other submissions. These entries can be viewed alone, viewed as a list or searched and sorted.
* Data can be uploaded into the database from a .csv file:
** Click the 'Add Entry' tab
** At the bottom of the page there is a link 'Upload entries from a file' which provides help in assigning data in a csv file to the relevant fields in your database.

==Automatically linking database entries==

If site-wide database auto-linking is enabled by an administrator (via ''Site Administration > Plugins> Filters>'') any entries in a database will be automatically linked to where the concept words and/or phrases appear within the same course. This includes forum postings, internal resources, week summaries etc.

Note: If you do not want particular text to be linked (in a forum posting, say) then you should add <nolink> and </nolink> tags around the text.

== Example databases ==

Moodle.org has three good examples of the database module in action:

* [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?id=6140 Moodle Buzz], a database of the titles, authors and web links to news articles mentioning Moodle
* [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=26 Themes], a database with screenshots, download links and user comments about Moodle [[Themes|themes]]
* [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13 Modules and plugins], a database containing a variety of web links (download, documentation, discussion) and info (maintainer, module type, requirements) about the modular components of Moodle, including those created by third parties.

== Creative uses ==

You could use the database module to:

* allow collaboration on building a collection of web links/books/journal references related to a particular subject
* display student created photos/posters/websites/poems for peer comment and review
* gather comments and votes on a shortlist of potential logos/mascot names/project ideas
* provide a [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=52699 student file storage area]
* maintain a log of what was done in a face-to-face class each day, so that absent students can get caught up themselves. [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=115047 Example]

Word censorship filter

2011-08-26T09:29:34Z

Meredith25: Final tidyup

{{Filters}}
'''Please refer to [[Page_notes#Filters|these notes]] before editing this page.'''

Location: Word Censorship settings can be found at: ''Site Administration > Plugins > Filters''

The word censorship filter enables certain user-selected words to be "blacked out" in the flow of any text submitted within a course. The primary use is for censoring obscene or other unwanted words entered by learners in activities like Forums and Wikis.

==Custom list of censored Words==

In Moodle 2.0 onwards, the word censorship settings page allows a site administrator to edit a custom list of words (bad words) to be censored within your Moodle installation.

To avoid inadvertently causing offense, there is no default bad word list on the Word censorship settings page. If the custom list is empty, the default list from the language pack will be used.

==Default censored Words==

The default bad word list is contained within the censor.php file within each language pack installed on your Moodle site. To change the default bad word list go to ''Site Administration > Language > Language Customization'' and check out the required language pack. Select the censor.php file under the '''filters''' subheading from the strings list and click '''Show strings'''. Warning: You may find the content of this file offensive.

==Tips and Tricks==
*If you would prefer not to display a custom list of censored words on the Work Censorship Settings page, customize the censor.php file the language directly
*If you have multiple language packs installed and in use within your Moodle site, remember to edit each language pack and/or add custom censored words in all languages.

Meredith25:

Location: ''Site Administration > Plugins > Blocks > Manage Blocks''
[[Image:blocks admin.png|thumb|Blocks administration]]

The blocks administration page enables administrators to manage installed blocks and their settings.

==Hiding a block==

The hide/show column allows selected blocks to be hidden i.e. they do not appear in any course "Add a block" dropdown menu and cannot be used in any course. To hide a block, click the eye icon so that it changes to a closed eye.

To reduce the length of course "Add a block" dropdown menus, you should hide blocks which will not be used, such as global search (unless you have enabled the global search feature in ''Administration > Miscellaneous > Experimental''), mentees (unless you have added a [[Parent role|mentor role]]) and network servers (unless you are using [[MNet|Moodle Network|Moodle Networking]]).

==Instances==

The blocks page also lists the number of instance for each block. Clicking on a number results in the list of courses containing that block being displayed.

==Multiple blocks==

Some blocks, such as the HTML block, can be used more than once on a course page. You can choose whether or not to allow this by clicking the change link in the Multiple column.

==Block deletion==

Any block can be deleted using the link in the delete column. There is no reason for standard blocks to be deleted, however non-standard blocks may need to be deleted before upgrading.

Note: To delete a block completely, in addition to deleting it on the blocks page, you also need to remove/delete the actual block folder from the ''moodle/blocks'' folder, otherwise Moodle will reinstall it next time you access the site administration.

==Block settings==
A few blocks have additional settings, which can be accessed via the links in the settings column.

*[[Courses block settings]]
*[[Online Users block settings]]
*[[Remote RSS Feeds block settings]]

==Blocks (administrator) list==
In edit mode, a Moodle page can show a block which contains a list of blocks that are available to add in that context for a [[Roles and capabilities|role]]. There are special blocks only available to [[Administrator]].

Examples of context include a Site's front page or a Course's main page. [[Blocks (teacher)|Teacher blocks]] are available to administrators in their contextual pull down menus.

The list below only includes those blocks available to administrator. All of these are available on the frontpage, only Admin bookmarks and Network Servers are found on the course level.

==Contributed blocks==

In addition to using the blocks included in the standard download, other Moodlers have developed their own blocks which they share with the Moodle community. You can download these contributed blocks from the Moodle.org [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?id=6009 Modules and plugins database].

Warning: Be aware that contributed blocks may have quality issues, may not work correctly, and may not work when you upgrade Moodle. You should test them thoroughly before using them and be prepared to uninstall them before upgrading.
