TC04 - Moodle tutorial for teachers
Adding activities (assignment, chat, blog, forum, etc.)
Assignment
The assignment allows teachers to collect work from students.
These can be online text assignments, where students submit, or upload, files of their work, or offline assignments which can remind students of assignments they need to complete (searching, in the library, classroom assignment etc.)
To create an assignment, turn the editing mode on and select Assignment from the Adding an activity menu.
Give the assignment a name, and describe it in detail. Set a number or a descriptive grade for the maximum grade for this assignment. (See the chapter named Assessment of students work). Select the available and due date for the assignment. Allowing late submissions lets students submit assignments after the due date.
Choose the type of assignment from the Assignment type drop-down menu. See the table bellow.
