Moodle 2.0

Chapter 6
• The student can replace the existing file by uploading another one. That will
count as another draft.
• The Edit button enables the student to edit the note.
• The Send for marking button allows the student to call this the final
submission, even if they haven't submitted the maximum number of
drafts allowed.
Creating an online text assignment
Select an Online text assignment type when you want the student to create a page
online. Although it's called "Online text" assignment, note that the student can
include anything on the page that you can include in a web page, such as graphics
and links. That's because the student creates the page using Moodle's built-in web
page editor. If you include this assignment type, consider giving your students
directions on how to use the online editor to insert graphics, links, multimedia, and
tables. Most of the functions of the online editor are self-explanatory, especially for a
generation of bloggers, but these functions might give your students some problems
if you don't explain them.
