Step 1. Create a Cadmus assignment in your Moodle course

Follow these steps to create a Cadmus assignment:

Turn on ‘Edit mode’'
Go to the section you would like the assignment to be and click on ‘Add activity or resource’
Select ‘Assignment’.

Provide assignment name.
Set the assignment ‘Availability’ dates.

Note: The ‘Go to Cadmus’ button will only show on Moodle if the assignment is open in Moodle. If the ‘Allow submissions from’ date is set in the future, the ‘Go to Cadmus’ button will not show so you will not be able to access Cadmus.

Under ‘Submission types’ tick the ‘LTI submissions’ check box and set the ‘Preconfigured tool’ ‘Cadmus LTI 1.3’.

Note: If you would like to have students submit draft assignments, set the ‘Tracked draft submissions’ to '1'.

Under ‘Submissions settings’ change the ‘Require that students accept the submission statement’ to ‘No’.

Set ‘Grant attempts to ‘Manually’.

Note: If ‘automatically’ is set, Cadmus servers will asynchronously submit all student submission attempts to Moodle, creating an attempt and a blank entry waiting for the next submission. You will need to ensure you are viewing the correct submission when in the Moodle Grader grading interface.

Click on ‘Save and ‘Display’.
Click on ‘Continue’.
Click on ‘Go to Cadmus’.

Step 2. Set up your Cadmus assignment

To set up the assignment in Cadmus follow these steps:

After clicking on ‘Go to Cadmus’ select ‘Create New Instructions’.

Choose ‘Classic Cadmus’ and select ‘Confirm.

Choose a template out of the existing options or select ‘New Instructions’.
You will then be taken to the assignment where you can set up the preferences. Click on ‘Set Requirements, grading options and settings’

Set the due date and feedback return date and time. This should match the due date set in Moodle. The feedback return date is not visible to students. If you would like to choose an alternative, untick the ‘Use LMS provided date’ check box.

Note: If you set the dates within Moodle and later change within Cadmus. This will not reflect in Moodle.

Select ‘Moodle Grader for Marking’.

Choose whether you would like to hide student names or show.

Note that if anonymity settings cannot be changed once students have submitted

Turnitin settings are set up in the Moodle Assignment. On Cadmus you can decide if you would like similarity reports to be shown. If you do, choose whether you would like it to be shown before final due date or after.

If you would like to set up draft submissions, turn on the ‘Drafting’ toggle and set the draft due date.

Once ready, Click on ‘Release’ on the top right corner of the page.
Check the instructions and all settings correct. If so, then click on ‘Release to students’ now or ‘Schedule for later’ if you would like to release it at a future date.

Step 3. Synchronise your class list (your enrolled Moodle students with Cadmus)

To synchronise your roster in Cadmus, follow these steps:

Go to the ‘Marking’ tab.

Click on ‘Sync LMS’ button at the top right corner.
Then select ‘Sync Class List’ or ‘Sync Grades'.

You will now see the students that are in your Moodle course in Cadmus.

Step 4. Viewing from a student perspective

To view from a student’s perspective, follow these steps:

First ensure the assignment is made visible to students.
Go to the top right corner of the page and click your profile icon that will show either your initials or profile avatar.

Select ‘Switch role to…’
Select ‘Student’.

You will then view the assignment in Moodle from a student perspective. Click on ‘Go to Cadmus’.
Tick the ‘I have read and agreed to the collection notice and privacy policy' check box. You will then be directed to the Student Cadmus environment.

Step 5. Provide grades and feedback

Cadmus assessments are marked using Moodle Assignment. You can grade and feedback on submissions online directly in the Moodle Assignment, or you can export them to mark offline. You can also access submissions via Cadmus which will redirect you to Moodle for marking and feedback.

You will only be able to view submissions via Moodle Assignment after the due date has pass.

Follow the following guidance on how to mark online or offline on Moodle, visit these Wiki guides:

If you are using the Drafting feature on Cadmus the grades and feedback will be visible to students once the assignment is set to Released. You must change the status back to 'In Marking' to hide the grades and feedback section before marking the final submission.
