Assignment

The Assignment Activity lets students submit work and allows teachers to give grades and feedback in Moodle.  This documentation will guide you through the process of giving feedback and marks for assignments submitted online via Moodle. 

An online resource outlining the basic features of Online Submission and Feedback in Moodle is also available and whilst this has not been produced with anonymous marking in mind, those staff who are new to online assessment in Moodle may find it helpful to review this material before embarking on use of the Assignment activity. Should you wish for additional support on the use of Moodle to support your assessment processes, please contact the Technology Enhanced Learning team.
