Assignments in Moodle can be used to give instructions, provide a place for you to input a typed response, or provide a place for you to upload one or more files. Assignments are not the only graded items in Moodle, so be sure to read all content presented on the course home page. Some instructors use the Assignment tool (sometimes called a drop-box) as a place for you to upload a file. Make sure you save your file before you try to upload it to Moodle. Your instructor may allow you to submit multiple files depending on the assignment. Read the instructions carefully.
Other Moodle Assignments may be set up with a text box for you to type your answers directly into the Moodle page. In this case, the [Add submission] button will open up a text editor window for you to type your responses to the assignment. When you are done adding your text, click the [Save changes] button. Again, this assignment may have a [Submit assignment] button also. If so, be sure to click that button when you are done with your response. Until you do, you can use the [Edit my submission] button to edit or add to your original response. If you do not see a [Submit assignment] button, just saving the changes to your original submission will be all you need to do to submit it.
Be sure to complete all assignments prior to the due date and time. Many instructors do not allow late submissions. Others may allow them, but may take off points when submitted late. This is entirely up to each individual instructor.
When an instructor has graded an assignment, you can click back on that assignment and look in the Feedback area. The resources below show images of the assignment submission steps and also a video demonstrating the process.
