Well FedUni-ers, it’s that time of year again! Semester Two is underway, and by now you’ve probably been told about all the assessments you’ll need to submit sometime in the next fourteen weeks. And some of them probably need to be submitted via Moodle. Say wha??
If you’re new to us this semester, you will have heard mention of Moodle over and over again (even if you’re not a new student, your lectures will still probably be harping on about Moodle, amirite?). Hopefully you’ve all logged on and had a little bit of a nose around. But that won’t necessarily mean that you’ll have stumbled upon the links you need to submit your assignments. That’s where I come in! Here’s a handy how-to guide, complete with instructional pictures (wooo!).
First things first, you’ll need to log in to Moodle:
Next, select the class that you need from the drop down menu. Let’s pretend we’re submitting an assignment for Financial Accounting. Click on it.
Now we need to look for the handy little icon that represents an assignment upload link. It’ll look a little something like this:
Once that page has loaded, scroll down to the bottom of the page and look for the ‘Add submission’ button (hopefully yours won’t be red angry, showing you that it’s an overdue assignment).
This is the page that you’ll be able to upload your assignment to. You can either drag it onto this page from a different window, or click the little button in the left hand corner and browse the computer to find your assignment.
Once you’ve uploaded your file, MAKE SURE you hit the blue ‘Save changes’ button. I’ve highlighted it in the picture above.
If all of these things have worked correctly for you, you should get an email from Moodle telling you that you have successfully uploaded your assignment, yay for you!!
*NOTE* Somewhere in this process you may be required to submit your assignment to a little program called ‘Turn it in’, or something along those lines. I have not used this program before (as it’s not really required in Da Business Skewl), but I believe it also comes with some form of instructions. If you DO know how to use it, feel free to post in the comments below and enlighten me!
So there you have it, a step-by-step guide to submitting assignments though Moodle. If you’re still having trouble with this, feel free to drop by the ASK desk and get the guys there to give you a hand. We’re now located on the ground floor of the Library, so we’re even easier to find!
