| Slide: Title
| Welcome to this spoken tutorial on '''Moodle 4.5 - Create Assignments for Students''' in '''Moodle'''.
|-
| Slide: Learning Objectives
| In this tutorial, we will learn how to:
* Create an '''assignment''' in '''Moodle'''
* Set submission types, due dates and restrictions

|-
| Slide: Target Audience
| This tutorial is intended for '''teachers''' who want to create '''assignments''' for students in '''Moodle'''.

|-
| Slide: System Requirements

This tutorial is recorded using:
* Ubuntu Linux OS version 22.04
* Moodle version 4.5
* Firefox browser

You can use any OS or web browser of your choice.
| Recorded with '''Ubuntu, Moodle 4.5,''' and '''Firefox.'''

Use any '''OS''' or '''web browser''' of your choice.

|-
| Slide: Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you should have:
* Moodle 4.5 installed
* Teacher access to a Moodle course
* For the prerequisite Moodle tutorials, please visit https://EduPyramids.org
| Here are the prerequisites to learn this video.

|-
| Point to the user icon
| We are logged in as '''teacher Nitya Jeevan'''.

|-
| Screen: Moodle Course Page
| Let us now learn how to create an '''assignment''' for students.

|-
| Click on My courses → Advanced Algebra
| Click on '''My courses''' and '''Advanced Algebra'''.

|-
| Click on ‘Turn editing on’
| First, turn '''editing on''' at the top right of the '''course page'''.

|-
| Click on “Add an activity or resource” under "Polynomial and Rational Functions"
| In the '''Polynomial and Rational Functions''' section, click '''Add an activity or resource'''.

|-
| Activity chooser appears → Select Assignment → Expand all
| From the Activity chooser, click on '''Assignment''', and then click the '''Expand all'''.

|-
| New Assignment page
| We are in the '''New Assignment''' page.

|-
| Name: "Assignment 1 – Evolutes and Involutes"
| Type a name for the assignment.

|-
| Description:
# Determine the evolute of the circle: x 2 \+y 2 \=R2
# Determine the evolute of the cycloid: x=t−sint, y=1−cost.
# Prove that the curve given by the equations: x \= R(cost+tsint), y \= R(sint−tcost) is the involute of the circle of radius R centered at the origin.
| In the '''Description''' box, type the assignment text for the students.

|-
| Activity instructions:
Attempt any 2. Each assignment is for 10 marks.
Your score will be included under Internal Assessments for this semester.
| In '''Activity instructions''', type instructions and helpful guidelines.

|-
| Setting: Availability Allow submissions from: 15 July 2025
Due date: 30 July 2025
Cut-off date: leave blank
Remind me to grade by: 15 Aug 2025
| Under '''Availability''', set the '''Allow submissions from''' and '''Due date'''.

You can also set dates for '''Cut-off date''' and '''Remind me to grade by'''.

|-
| Check "Always show description" checkbox
| Check the checkbox for '''Always show description.'''

|-
| Setting: Submission types → check both boxes
| Scroll down to '''Submission types'''.
Choose between '''Online text''', '''File submissions''', or both.

Let everything else remain as is.

|-
| Setting: Feedback types
| Under '''Feedback types''', enable options for '''Feedback comments''' and '''Annotate PDF'''.

|-
| Require students to click the submit → Yes
| Choose '''Yes''' for '''Require students to click the submit button.'''

|-
| Notify graders about submissions → Yes
| Scroll down to '''Notifications''' and choose '''Yes''' for '''Notify graders about submissions.'''

|-
| Click Grade Type to show the options.
Retain Points Grade to pass → 40 Anonymous submissions → select Yes
| '''Grade Type''' can be in '''Points''' or '''Scale'''.
Choose as per your requirement.

Type the passing criteria in '''Grade to pass.'''

In '''Anonymous submissions''', select '''Yes'''.
This helps teachers to be unbiased and grade the students anonymously.

|-
| Common Module Settings → Availability → Show on course page
| Scroll down to '''Common Module Settings'''. Ensure that '''Availability''' is '''Show on course page'''.

|-
| Restrict access → Add restriction → Activity completion.

Click the Choose dropdown → select Previous activity with completion
| Scroll down to '''Restrict access'''.
Click '''Add restriction''' and '''Activity completion.'''

Click the '''Choose''' dropdown. It displays many options.

We’ll select '''Previous activity with completion'''.

|-
| Completion conditions → select "Students must manually mark the activity as done".
| Under '''Completion conditions''', select '''Students must manually mark the activity as done.'''

|-
| Click “Save and return to course”
| After entering all settings, scroll down and click '''Save and return to course'''.

|-
| Screen: Course page showing the assignment link
| The assignment is now created and visible on the course page.

|-
| Move it below “Yet Another Calculus Text”.
| Move it below '''Yet Another Calculus Text'''.
|-
|
| So that’s how you create an '''assignment''' for students in '''Moodle'''!

|-
| Slide: Summary
To summarise, in this tutorial, we have learnt how to:
* Create an assignment in Moodle
* Set submission types, and deadlines
| Here is the summary of this tutorial.

|-
| Slide Assignment

'''Assignment Name: Assignment 2 - Evolutes and Involutes'''
* Copy-paste the text given in assignment.txt file in the Code files link.
* Follow the other steps given therein also.
* The following should be posted in assignment.txt file.
** Question 1: Can two different curves have the same involute curve?
** Question 2: Check the lecture available on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xgtMQ7WSzQ
** At around 12:00, the lecturer says let P and Q be two points on any curve, draw normals at both points. As Q approaches P, the point of intersection of the two normals will eventually stabilize. He goes on to say the limit of the point of intersection is the osculating centre at P. If Q is at P, then the two normals will be co-incident. Hence, when Q is almost at P, shouldn't the two lines almost be parallel, and hence the limit of the point of intersection at infinity? Explain this scenario.
* Activity instructions: Both questions have to be answered. Each assignment is for 10 marks. Your score will be included under Internal Assessments for this semester.
* Setting: Availability
** Allow submissions from: 25 June 2025
** Due date: 20 July 2025
** Cut-off date: leave blank
