Activity — Assignment
Students submit online text or files; you grade with feedback, rubric or annotated PDF.
What it is
An Assignment is a piece of work students submit and you grade. Submissions can be online text, uploaded files, or both. You grade each submission and return marks plus feedback — as a comment, a rubric, a marking guide, or an annotated PDF.
How to add it
- In Course content, click Add activity in a topic.
- Pick Assignment.
Fill in the assignment settings form (configMode: assignment): instructions, allowed Submission types (Online text / File upload), and Grading options — Blind marking, Use marking workflow, Use marking allocation. Set the due date and turn on grading in the settings panel below.
- Click Add to course.
What students see
Students open the assignment inside the course (openMode: viewer), read the instructions, and submit their text or files before the due date. After grading they see their mark and your feedback in the same view.
Grading & completion
An Assignment is gradable. Its grade reaches the gradebook via completion — once you mark a submission, the result flows through. Completion is manual by default.
