Submitting Assignments

Moodle Assignments can be used to collect student submissions of all sorts: paper, digital documents and image files, or online text. You will likely see a variety of uses of this popular tool at LBCC. Usually, an instructor will provide instructions on how to complete the Assignment; if not, just ask for clarification. Here is a help guide on creating and submitting a writing assignment in Google Docs.

Using Forums

Instructors use Forums (also know as discussion boards) in their courses to compliment, or even replace face-to-face discussions. This is a great way to carefully frame what you want to contribute to a group conversation. Other benefits include being able to give a topic or issue some thought and/or research before offering comments and ideas. Forums are a way to keep the group learning together and foster collaboration. There is a lot of learning value in asynchronous communication - jump in!

Taking Quizzes

Instructors use Quizzes in Moodle to assess student learning and understanding. You may see everything from short check-in quizzes to mid-terms and final exams. If a Moodle Quiz is constructed with machine-gradable questions, you will be able to see your score the moment you submit your answers!
