2. How to Utilize Moodle

2.1. How to Submit an Assignment

There are two types of assignments in Moodle:  File Submission and Online Text. Here are the differences in the two:

  • File Submission assignments require you to attach a document, .zip file, or group of documents and submit them for grading. This might include essays, papers, images, spreadsheets, databases, video, or any other document relevant to your course.
  • Online Text assignments require you to type the response directly in a text box.
  • Many assignments will include both file submission and online text, so be sure to read the instructions for your assignment carefully.
