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

  • 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:
  1. Determine the evolute of the circle: x 2 \+y 2 \=R2
  2. Determine the evolute of the cycloid: x=t−sint, y=1−cost.
  3. 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
