Moodle Assignments
The Assignment Activity is the most common way to collect assessable work from your students, and provide them with feedback on that work. Students can submit written work such as essays or reports, audio and video files, and a wide range of other file types including computer programs, LaTeX and HTML. You can provide feedback as annotations directly on a document, as comments in the activity, or via audio and video.
Moodle Assignment is more than just a submission point for assessment. With thoughtful set up, it can be both an instructional and a communication tool for providing feedback.
