Sometimes you have multiple sections on Moodle and your classes may have enough overlap that one assignment helps you complete another.
To make this a little easier you can upload these types of files to the private files area.

Students Can’t Access Moodle Home-based Exams
If you are giving an exam on Moodle that is open to take from anywhere, and students are unable to access the exam, you may want to first troubleshoot these two steps.
Grading with File Feedback in Assignment Drop Box
When you set up an Assignment Drop Box in Moodle you are able to upload a file back to students with feedback for grading purposes.
Moving Content in Moodle and Changing File Order
It is very easy to move content around in Moodle. You can easily rearrange sections or files within your Moodle course.
If you want to change the order of files within a section, first make sure editing is turned on by clicking Turn Editing On at the top right of your Moodle page.
You should now have the option to click and drag each item into the desired position.
There is no need to save, Moodle will automatically save your changes when moving content around your Moodle page.
Randomizing Quiz Questions in Moodle
When adding questions to a quiz in Moodle you can choose to keep those questions in order, randomly select from categories, or create new questions as you go along. In this tutorial, we will show you how to randomize questions in your Moodle quiz.
How to Release Quiz Grades to Students
This tutorial will show you how to release your exam marks to students. (this can also include any feedback given to students on the exam)
Changing the Letter Grade Scale
Moodle has a default letter grade scale which may or may not reflect the scale of your course letter grades.
You can very easily change the scale to reflect your course.
Submitting Final Grades
You can submit your final grades directly from Moodle to the Bridge (Registrar’s Office). This is very convenient if you have a large class size.
In order to submit final grades, the instructor of record must be logged into the course.
Importing Essay and Short Answer Questions
Rather than creating individual questions in Moodle you can import a document with multiple questions at a time. To import short answer and/or essay questions into Moodle you must follow some simple formatting and save the file as a GIFT file format for importing into Moodle.
Creating and Using Groups
Moodle has the ability to designate groups within your course. You can have Moodle randomly allocate groups or you can create groups manually. We will show you how to create both in this tutorial.
