Submitting Assignments
Assignment Page Link
In Moodle, instructors create assignment when they want student to submit work for grading.
The icon for assignment pages is a pink square with the outline of a piece of paper and an upward-pointing arrow within it.
The Assignment Page
Once you click on your assignment in the course outline, you'll see your assignment's submission page. This will usually have an assignment description/instructions, a button to submit your assignment and the current status of your assignment and any submissions you've already made.
File Submission
To select your file for submission, open the "File submissions" area below the description. With the file submissions area open:
(1) You can drag and drop your file into the center area to upload it, or
(2) you can click the "Add" button and use the file selection window to pick your file from your computer, flash drive, or from an online file repository (such as Google Drive).
File Picker
If you click on "Add," the file picker opens, allowing you to select a file from one of several locations, including your computer and any attached flash drives. Click on "choose file" to navigate your computer to find your file. Once selected, the file's name will appear next to the Choose File button. Click on "upload this file" to load your file into the assignment page.
Save Submission
Now that the file is uploaded, you need to click the "Save changes" button to save your file to the assignment page.
Certain types of assignment pages may require you to click an additional Send for marking button to submit your assignment, or may allow you to upload a draft of your work to receive preliminary feedback.
Assignment Submitted
In some assignment types, saving the file to the assignment page is all you need to do to submit your work. Your instructor can see your submission and will grade it promptly. Once submitted, your "Submission status" changes to "Submitted for grading." Once graded, your "Grading status" changes to "Graded."
You can also go to the Grades page to view your grade, but not your instructor's comments.
Once your assignment is graded, you'll see a "Feedback" section below your submission status. If your submission has been graded by your instructor, your grade will also appear here, as well as will your instructors comments, and (sometimes) a PDF copy of your submission annotated with your instructors comments.
