This activity allows students to submit work for teachers to grade and give feedback on.
Students will be able to submit any digital content (one or mutiple files), such as documents, media content or spreadsheets. Alternatively, students might be able to submit their work typing directly into the Text Editor.
A student can submit as an individual or as a member of a group.
Use this activity to provide grades and feedback using online assessment tools such as:
Feedback types (comments, online annotation, feedback files, audio).
Turnitin plugin.
Grade (point, scale, or advanced grading criteria).
Anonymous submissions (hides the students' identity from markers).
Marking workflow (set different marking stages and release grades at once).

After uploading their content into the Media collection activity, students can then navigate to their Assignment activity to select and submit their created galleries. Students must create their galleries and add content from the Media collection activity or they will not be able to submit. |
Online audio (PoodLL): allow students to record audio as part of their submission.
Online text: students will be able to type text directly into the Moodle text editor field for their submission.

Provide feedback in the following ways:
Allows graders to leave comments.
Allows graders to annotate online using comments, stamps and other features.
This is useful if you wish to download the grading list and edit it in a program such as MS Excel. When the marker has completed their grading offline, they can then upload the spreadsheet, confirm the changes and the grades and comments will be transferred over into Moodle's Gradebook:

Set how many times can a student re-submit.
If set to Yes, students will submit as members of a group according to the Groups set in the course. This means that only one member of the group needs to submit on behalf of the group.
