Quick guide. How to create an assignment limited in time

Using the Moodle homework activity

1. CREATION AND SETUP OF THE ASSIGNMENT

You must first create an assignment (see the entry How to create an assignment).

You will be able to define aspects such as:

  • the type of submission (online text or file(s) to be sent),
  • if clicking on a delivery button is required,
  • whether the assignment is done in group or not, among others.

 

To limit it in time it is necessary to configure it by accessing Settings and displaying the Availability section. Can:

  • Indicate a start date for submissions (Allow submissions from).
  • Indicate a Due date – after that date the submission will be considered delivered out of time or undeliverable (depending on configuration).
  • Establish a Cut-off date after which no submission can be done.
  • Set a date when you will be reminded to grade assignments (Remind me to grade by).

Configuring assessment availability

To enable (or disable) them, simply check (or uncheck) the Enable box.

 

2. STUDENTS SUBMISSION

The students, once they access the assignment, can consult the submission information, develop their work and submit it, as long as:

  • the deadline has not arrived,
  • they have not submitted the assignment by clicking on the corresponding button (if clicking on the submit button is required to consider it submitted).

 

3. CONSULTATION AND EVALUATION OF SUBMISSIONS

At any time during the activity you can view the summary of the submissions and, if applicable, grade them.

You will find more information in the entry How to grade an assignment.
