How to do writing assignments in Moodle with deadlines, file and response file upload and MS-Word tracked changes
- Benefits
- Keep the cohort in shape and focus it on studying by enforcing deadlines.
- You can have students automatically receive reminders of the upcoming deadlines from their calendar (in NINERMAIL, no need to even look at the Moodle Calendar)
- You can save time managing the assignment.
- Moodle does it for you; you will save even more time once you begin recycling your assignment across terms) and rather provide more timely feedback, and improve changes that your feedback arrives during a teachable moment.
- Automatic email notifications, which are available in Moodle for teachers (if you do not prefer to grade student submissions in a batch) and students to (automatic correction and grading is not ready for prime-time when it comes to essay writing; you may however consider teaching some more basic writing skills using it with close-exercises in Moodle).
- Costs
- You need to TBA:create a Moodle file upload assignment for writing (once)
- You need to grade a Moodle file upload assignment for writing (any time you assign; depending on your preference as submissions arrive or conveniently as a batch from the gradebook past the deadline)
- I prefer the MS-Word reviewing features for grading writing assignments,
- but other tools have other affordances, e.g. like recently described here for Adobe Acrobat Professional.
- Moodle does not automatically add unique usernames to student submitted files like Blackboard. It also does not afford the TBA:convenience of a shared network storage that the WebDAV-based Blackboard Content system provides. However, as long as you do not need to maintain a local archive of student submissions, you can rely on the Moodle gradebook managing the archive of assignment files (student submissions and teacher response files).
