Written Guide

To submit a Moodle Assignment, first log on to the MyUni Portal and either click the ‘Moodle’ icon along the top row of icons, or scroll down to the ‘VLE’ section and click ‘Moodle’.

 

 

On the Moodle dashboard, look through your timeline to find the assignment submission point.

If you don't see your assignments in the timeline, head to the module directly, specifically the 'Assessment and Feedback' section, and look for an icon of a piece of paper with an up-pointing arrow.

  Hint: See our separate guidance on navigating Moodle for support with locating assignments.

 

 

After locating your assignment, click on the submission point and then click the 'Add Submission' button.

You can either drag and drop files into the dotted box, or click the button that contains a plus in a circle to add a submission.

If you click the plus button, you will then need to click on 'Upload a file' and then click the 'Choose File' button.

Your Moodle assignment has now been submitted as a draft, so if you need to make any changes, you can do this before clicking ‘Submit assignment’.

Before clicking ‘Submit assignment’, it is advisable to check to make sure you have uploaded the correct file.

To do this, click on the file that you have uploaded within the 'File submission' section, this will then download a copy of the file you have just submitted.

Open the file and then depending on what kind of file it is (and what device you are using), you may need to click 'Enable Editing', to fully preview the file. After confirming you have submitted the correct file, return to Moodle.
