and provide feedback. Using assignment, students can submit any electronic files (e.g., Word-processed documents, spreadsheets, images, audio, video clips) or type their response directly into Moodle. Student work is visible only to the teacher unless a group assignment is selected. If you are migrating from another Learning Management System, the Assignment activity is comparable to the Dropbox or Homework functionality. In this lesson, you will learn the various features of the Assignment activity and how to set it up.

General Assignment Name: The name of the assignment that will be displayed in the course listing. Description: A paragraph or more of text describing the activity and informing the student what they are to submit. This will be displayed to the student when they view the assignment. Display description on course front page: If checked the description will show on the course front page.

Assignment settings Allow submissions from: The date and time that this assignment is displayed to the student, which is also when they can first submit the assignment. If disabled, students can submit an assignment at anytime. Due Date: This is when the assignment is due. Submissions will still be allowed after this date but any assignments submitted after this date are marked as late. To prevent submissions after a certain date - set the assignment cut off date. Cut-off date: If set, the assignment will not accept submissions after this date without an extension. Always show description: If set to No, the assignment description will not display to students until after the allow submission date. Require students click submit button: Set to Yesto require students to click a Submit button in order for it to be submitted for grading. The status of the assignment will be “Draft (not submitted)” in the activity grader. Once a student clicks the Submit Assignment button the status will change to “Submitted for grading” and they will

Assignment button the status will change to “Submitted for grading” and they will no longer be able to edit it. Use this setting for multiple attachments. If you do not require a Submit button and then decide to use it later, any activities submitted before you changed the setting will be marked as final. Require students accept the submission statement: If enabled, students must accept a submission statement for all submissions to the assignment. The text of the submission statement is set by the site administrator. Notify graders about submissions: If set to Yes, instructors will receive a notification when assignments are submitted. Notify graders about late submissions: If set to Yes, instructors will receive a notification when an assignment is submitted past the due date. Students submit in groups: If set to yes, students can collaborate on an assignment. If no groups have been created prior to using this setting, then Moodle will create a separate default group of each student in the course. For example, if you have 30 students, then you will end up with 30 default groups. To avoid this, set up groups before enabling this setting. Require all group members submit: This setting is only available when requiring students to click the Submit button (i.e., the "Require students click submit button" is set to Yes). The assignment will not be considered submitted until all group members have made a contribution. Group members will be able to see who in their group has submitted or still needs to submit. Grouping for student groups: If a particular grouping is chosen, then the gradebook will display the group names from the chosen grouping but will put all other groups and students into a default group. If None is selected, then the gradebook will display the names of all groups and will put any non-grouped students in the "default group." Blind marking: Set this option to Yes to not be able to see the names of students who have turned in an assignment. When the assignment is graded, however, turn on the option to see who submitted by enabling "Reveal student identities" in the Assignment settings. This option will only become available once all student assignments have been graded. Set this option BEFORE students submit an assignment and any grading is complete as changes cannot be made later.

Feedback settings

Feedback comments: If set to Yes, the instructor can leave comments on each students submission. Feedback files: If set to Yes, instructors are able to upload files for students. These maybe student files with marking for feedback or review. Offline grading worksheet: When enabled, the instructor can download, and then upload, a worksheet with student grades when marking the assignment. This feature is not available when using advanced grading methods.

Grade Grade: The maximum grade value for this activity that a student can receive. Grading method: (Optional) The advanced grading method associated with the assignment. Grade Category: Setting this will group this activity's grade in the grade book with other activities in the same category, allowing for category calculations.

Outcomes

Select outcomes: Choose the outcomes that are to be associated with the assignment content. The site administrator must set up outcomes at the site level and the outcomes must be included in the course settings to be used in activities.

Creating a Certificate activity is similar to creating other activities in Joule/Moodle. The Teacher adds the activity via the Turn editing on button and selects Activity>Certificate in the Add Activity drop-down menu of a course.

1.2.4.1.1. General

Describe your certificate using the following options:

Certificate Name: will appear on the course page and will typically signal to users the purpose or type of certificate being issued. Introduction: text entered here will be displayed to students when they open the certificate activity. This can be descriptive and indicate the requirements needed

to attain the award.

Determine date, security code, grade outcomes, credit hours, teachers names, and custom text using the following options:

Certificate Heading: enter a custom heading (up to 40 characters) for the certificate or leave it blank to display the default: "CERTIFICATE of ACHIEVEMENT". Certificate Introduction: enter a custom introduction (up to 65 characters) for the certificate or leave it blank to display the default: "This is to certify that". Certificate Completed String: enter a custom completed string (up to 65 characters) for the certificate or leave it blank to display the default: "has completed the course".

Print Date: choose whether to include the date the certificate was issued to the student, the course end date, or the date the student completes an activity in the course. The activities are listed in the drop-down menu. Date Format: choose how to display the date on the certificate from the drop-down menu. Print Code: if set to Yes , a unique 10-digit code will be printed on the certificate.

This number can then be verified by comparing it to the code number displayed in

This number can then be verified by comparing it to the code number displayed in the View Issued Certificates report. Print Grade: choose to print either the total course grade, or the grade of a selected course activity. The grade items are listed in the drop-down menu in the order in which they appear in the Gradebook. Grade Format: choose how the grade will be displayed on the certificate. There are three available formats if you choose to print a grade: Percentage Grade , Points Grade , or Letter Grade. Print Outcome: if set to Yes , the name of the outcome and the student's received outcome will be printed on the certificate. An example might be: "Assignment Outcome: Proficient".

are invisible. Visible groups - each group member works in their own group, but can also see other groups.

Note: The group mode defined at course level is the default mode for all activities within the course. Each activity that supports groups can also define its own group mode, though if the group mode is forced at course level, the group mode setting for each activity is ignored.

Grouping (Advanced): A grouping is a collection of groups within a course. If a grouping is selected, students assigned to groups within the grouping will be able to work together. Visible: Determines if the activity is displayed to students or not within the course. ID Number: Teachers who want to create advanced grade calculations within the grade book can create a unique ID number here. This allows the creation of formulas in the grade book that perform calculations using the grades within this activity. For example, the instructor might create a grade book calculation that multiplies the number of points in the Midterm (see the image above where the ID number is set to Midterm) by 2 in order to emphasize its importance to the course grade.

1.2.4.1.6. Restrict access

Determine how access to certificates is handled using the following options:

Allow access from/until: these dates determine when students can access this course item on the course page. Release code: this course item will not be available to students until the student acquires the release code entered here. Grade condition: determines any grade conditions which must be met in order to access this course item. Multiple grade conditions may be set if desired. If so, this course item will only allow access when ALL grade conditions are met. Completion condition/Before this can be accessed: determines any activity completion conditions which must be met in order to access this course item. Note that completion tracking must first be set before an activity completion condition

that completion tracking must first be set before an activity completion condition can be set. Multiple grade conditions may be set if desired. If so, this course item will only allow access when ALL grade conditions are met.

1.2.4.1.7. Activity completion

Determine activity completion settings for certificates using the following options:

Completion tracking: if enabled, activity completion is tracked, either manually or automatically, based on certain conditions. Require view: if checked requires students to view this activity to complete it. Expect completed on: specifies the date when the activity is expected to be completed. The date is not shown to students and is only displayed in the activity completion report.

When finished, click Save and return to course to return to the course, click Save and display to see what your certificate will look like, or click Cancel to cancel creating a Certificate activity.
