2. Submitting a file assignment on Moodle

These are the steps you need to complete to submit a file assignment on Moodle:

  • Click the Add submission button to bring up the file upload page



  • Upload the relevant file into the File submissions area. You will be able to ‘drag and drop’ the file into the File submissions area. [Alternatively, you can click on the File upload icon and then navigate to the location of the relevant file in your local drive of your computer.]



  • Click Save Changes. Once the file submission has been completed the Submission Status dialogue box is displayed



There should now be a Last modified date and the file(s) uploaded will also be displayed. Depending on how the assignment is setup, the status will either read Submitted for grading - in which case no further action is need, or Draft (not submitted).

  1. If changes are required, click on Edit my submission.
  2. Once ready to submit, click Submit assignment.

Please note: Once the assignment has been submitted no further changes are allowed.
