Creating an online submission in Moodle for students to submit video or audio

Overview

If your students need to submit a video or audio file bigger than 256MB (the standard file upload size in an online submission in Moodle) then you can use the media submission option. This will allow students to submit files up to 5GB.

How to enable video or audio submissions

To do this, follow the instructions for creating an online submission, but in addition tick the ‘media’ button in file types.

If students only need to submit the media file and no other supporting office type documents, you can untick the file option. Ensure students are aware if they are required to submit a media file and a document.
