Switch to slide no 2 Welcome to spoken tutorial. In the coming few minutes, we'll talk about how to give an assignment, collect responses and grade an assignment on the moodle site.
Switch to slide no 3 There are four assignment types:

Upload a Single File: This allows each student to upload a single file in any format, including a ZIP file.
Offline Activity: This is useful when the assignment is performed outside of Moodle. It could be something face-to-face or on paper. Students can see a description of the assignment, but they can’t upload any files.
Online Text: This allows students to input text online. You can grade the assignment online and, if necessary, add inline comments or changes.
Advanced Uploading of Files: This allows each student to upload one or more files in any format. As the teacher, you can also upload one or more files for each student, either at the start or in response to their submission. A student may enter notes describing their submitted files, progress status, or any other relevant information.

Switch to Terminal On the right hand top corner, there's a button called “Turn editing on”. Click on this button. For the correct session number, select an assignment type from the “Add an activity” drop-down menu. “Adding a new assignment” page will open. Give the assignment a descriptive name. In the Description area, carefully describe the assignment. The questions can be written here. A link to a question set can also be given here. Choose the grade scale you want to use for the assignment. Set the “Available from” date and “Due date” for your assignment or check the Disable boxes in case the assignemnt has to be always available. Decide whether to prevent late submissions. Set the advanced uploading file options as per the type of assignment. Click on "Save changes" and the assignment would be available to students. <Br>To view your students’ submissions, click on the assignment name in your course page. You’ll see the assignment name and details and a link in the upper-right corner of the page telling you how many assignments have been submitted. Click on this link. The assignment submissions page contains a table with these headings: First name/Surname; Grade; Comment; Last modified (Student); Last modified(Teacher); and Status. The list may be sorted by clicking on a particular heading. Clicking twice on the same heading sorts the list in the opposite order. If the table is too large, then columns may be collapsed by clicking on the Hide icon next to a particular column heading. By default, 10 submissions are shown per page, though this may be changed at the bottom of the page. To grade a submission, click on the Grade link opposite a particular student’s name. A new window will open containing a feedback area. For Upload a Single File and Advanced Uploading of Files assignments, there is a link to download the file together with the date it was last submitted. You will need to open it in another application, unless it’s a web page. So if your student submits a Word document, you’ll need to save it to your desktop and open it in Word. Once you’ve reviewed the student’s assignment, pick the grade for the assignment from the drop-down list. (You set the scale when you created the assignment.) Below the grade scale, you can type comments regarding the student’s work. When you’re done, click “Save changes” or “Save and show next.”
Switch to slide no 4 For an Advanced Uploading of Files assignment, you have the option to upload a response file. Students may upload draft files for you to review at any time. When their assignment is finished, they can mark it as final by clicking the “Send for marking” button. Prior to grading, you may choose to revert an assignment back to draft status. For an Online Text assignment, the text is displayed in a box with the word count above. If comment inline has been enabled, then the text is copied into the feedback comment field.
