Submitting a file

Usually students submit files through the assignment activity. In an assignment activity, the teacher can give the assignment instructions and add the grade and feedback after student submission. The student can submit a file, and view the grade and feedback received.

1. The teacher can determine a deadline for the submission and limit the file type that is accepted so that you can submit only, for example, .pdf files.
2. Usually submissions are made individually but the teacher can also activate group submission.
  - Only the teacher can see the individual submissions.
  - If group submission is activated, the submission is visible to the group members and the teacher.
3. The teacher can activate TurnitIn Similarity to check which sources have been utilized to prevent plagiarism.
  - TurnitIn searches for any similarities with material published on the internet, hundreds of millions of books and the other documents inspected by the system. The Turnitin report includes the similarity percentage and information on how sources have been used.
  - The first time you turn in your text, you must accept the Turnitin End User Licence Agreement (EULA) so that similarity comparison can be conducted.
4. The teacher can also determine that submission is made by typing text directly into a text field in the browser.
  - You can submit, for example, a short text answer or a link to online content.
