This video and the text underneath it explain how you can set up and grade work your learners submit to Moodle.

Video tutorial

Moodle's assignment activity provides a space into which students can submit work for teachers to grade and give feedback on. This saves on paper and is better than email because you don't have to find your students' work amongst emails from colleagues or companies; their submissions are together on one screen of your course.

You can require them to submit one or several files and/or to type text essays. It is possible to have them submit work as a group and you can also choose as a teacher to grade their work 'blind' in other words not to see the identities of those who have submitted assignments. Assignments can have deadlines and cut off dates - which you can also extend if necessary.

If you as a teacher want to see a reminder to grade on the course overview of your dashboard, make sure you select a date in the "Remind me to grade by.. " setting when creating your assignment.
