Assignment Submission

Moodle lets instructors set up an Assignment with a variety of settings. For example:

• Your instructor can control whether you can make only one submission or can re-submit files, and whether you can upload files after deadlines have passed.
• Some assignment types let your instructor return a submission with comments for revisions. You can then upload your revisions by returning to the link for the assignment.

Submit an Assignment

• Links to assignments can always be found in the sections down the center of the Moodle course page.
• If your instructor has added the Activities block to the course, you can also locate assignments by clicking the Assignment link in the Activities block.
• Click the link to the assignment. The Assignment page will open, showing instructions and your submission status (date submitted, grade, etc.) for this assignment.
• Click Add submission.
• The Assignment submission page will open. Depending on how your instructor set up the assignment, you may have the option to submit file(s) or enter text in a text entry box.
• To enter online text, type directly into the Online text box.
• Alternately, you can compose your submission in a word processing program and then cut and paste the text into the Moodle text box.

To upload an assignment

• Under File submissions, at the top-left of the file area, click the Add... icon
• (Add... file picking icon for uploading to Moodle assignment). The File picker window will open.
• Select a file from your computer, or from Google Drive:
• To upload a file from your computer, click Upload a file (at left), then, next to Attachment, click Browse. Browse your computer and select a file, then click Open. The file name will appear next to the Browse button.
• Click Upload this file. The File Picker will close and an icon for your uploaded file will appear in the Files area.
• Once your file(s) appear in the Files submission area, click Save changes.

Note: You should receive an email at your africau.edu email address confirming you have submitted the assignment.

• If your instructor allows you to revise your submission you'll see an Edit submission button on the Assignment page. Click Edit submission to add or replace files, or edit a text submission. When you are finished making changes, click Save changes.
• For some assignment types, you will see a Submit assignment button. To finalize your submission, click Submit assignment, then Continue.
• Note: Once finalized, you will not be able to make any more changes.
• You can check under Submission status on the Assignment page to ensure your file is listed. You can also view feedback and grades from your instructor there.
• For some assignment types, you may have the option to submit several or an unlimited amount of attempts (or drafts) for a single assignment. Because each course is different, you will need to communicate with your lecturer.
