Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moodle assignments can be used for formative and summative assessments and formal exams (including referrals) to evaluate student understanding of course material within a semester. This activity supports a wide range of submission types, including regular submission points<\/a>, media submission points<\/a>, placeholder\/empty submission points<\/a>, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will show you how to set up an \u2018Assignment\u2019 activity for referrals and alternative assessments in your Moodle course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to add an Assignment activity to your Moodle course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To add an \u2018Assignment\u2019 activity to your Moodle course, please follow the steps in the following article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to set up an Assignment activity in your Moodle course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To set up an \u2018Assignment\u2019 activity in your Moodle course, please follow the steps in the following article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restrict Access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During a regular online submission point, we usually recommend leaving the \u2018Restrict Access\u2019 setting on default, however, when it comes to referrals or alternative assessments, we recommend restricting the access to the activity to make sure that only those students would be able to complete the task who supposed to. The ones who should not re-submit their work, will not be able to as the activity would be hidden from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, please follow the steps below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before you apply the restriction to the activity in terms of its access, you would need to create a group with the referral or AA students. To do this, please follow the steps in the following article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend naming the group, for example, \u2018Referral Group\u2019, \u2018Referral Coursework\u2019 or \u2018Alternative Assessment\u2019, \u2018AA\u2019, and so on, to make sure you will recognise its purpose. This is going to be the group that you will use as a condition to restrict the access to the \u2018Assignment\u2019 activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing the settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you created the group and allocated the relevant students to it, you will then need to apply the restriction which you can do in the settings of the \u2018Assignment\u2019 activity. To do this, please follow the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Please navigate to the last section in the settings of the \u2018Assignment\u2019 activity where it says \u2018Restrict access\u2019.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Once you are there, please click on the \u2018Add restriction\u2019 button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. A new window will pop up where you will need to select \u2018Group\u2019 as the restricted access will be based on that condition.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"Screenshot<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Please make sure you set up the condition in the following way: \u2018Student [must] match the following Group [Group name]<\/em>\u2019. Please also make sure you click on the \u2018eye\u2019 icon which will prevent the activity from being displayed for the students who are not allocated to this group.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
