In this video, I\u2019ll demonstrate how to create an Assignment<\/em> activity in Moodle.<\/p>

First, turn on Edit mode<\/em>, go to where you want to add the activity, select the plus sign (+) and choose Activity or resource<\/em>. Choose Assignment<\/em> from the list.<\/p>

Give your assignment a clear name and a short description. Remember to tick Display description on course page<\/em>.<\/p>

In the Activity instructions <\/em>field, explain the purpose of the activity and what students are expected to submit. You can also add multimedia and upload any additional supporting files if needed.<\/p>

Below, you\u2019ll see many different settings.<\/p>

  1. Under Availability<\/em>, you can set up the date from which submissions are accepted and a due date. You can also set yourself a reminder for grading.<\/li>
  2. Under Submission types<\/em>, you can choose whether students will upload a file such as a presentation or document, or type directly into Moodle, or both. Online text is ideal for shorter tasks.<\/li>
  3. Under Feedback types<\/em>, you can choose different options for providing feedback. We recommend Feedback comments<\/em>, which lets you write or add multimedia directly in a text editor. You could also choose to upload a file.<\/li>
  4. Finally, at the bottom you can enable or disable Turnitin. In this case, I\u2019m setting up a formative assessment task, so I\u2019ll turn it off.<\/li><\/ol>

    This is enough to set up a simple submission. There are other settings that you can explore by selecting the Question mark <\/em>icon next to each element or by visiting Moodle documentation.<\/p>

    When you are done, select Save and return to course<\/em>.<\/p>

    Leaving feedback<\/strong><\/p>

    Once students have submitted their work, select the activity and click Grade<\/em>. Depending on the feedback options you chose, you can leave comments in the feedback box or upload a file. The Notify student<\/em> box is checked by default, so students will be notified when feedback is available.<\/p>"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","subContentId":"59e84299-6fe4-4d4b-b2d9-1123fb7ba863","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"}},"title":"Video transcript: How to use the Assignment activity"}],"hTag":"h4"}
