Configure Assignment to only accept PDFs for Annotated Feedback
1. If you have an assignment for which you want to accept PDF submissions, click “Settings.”
2. Make sure “File submissions” is selected as a submission type.
Then, choose the limits for the files that can be uploaded.
In this case, we will accept a maximum of 2 files that can’t be larger than 500 kb. You can choose higher settings if you think the documents they upload will be larger.
3. Next, we want to limit the types of files that can be uploaded. In this case, we only want to allow PDFs so we can use the “Annotated PDF” marking feature.
Click the “Choose” button beside the accepted file types field.
4. Expand the Document files choices. You will see the specific choices for the document files.
5. Toggle on “PDF document” and toggle off
“Document files.” This will limit submissions to PDF only.
Be sure to “Save changes.“
6. Next, we move on to “Feedback types” and choose “Feedback comments” and “Annotate PDF.”
This way, a PDF can be annotated with marks that can be highlighted, etc., and you can also type in any additional comments.
We won’t need inline comments turned on, as the text in PDFs cannot be pulled into the feedback field like it can with Word documents.
7. Be sure to set the other submission settings to your specifications.
8. Once all the settings are set, click “Save and display.“

Moodle Announcements Forum
Each Moodle course has a default forum called Announcements. This is not like most forums, it is a one-way communication tool for the instructor to relay information to students.
Transferring your Course Content
If you have a course previously taught in Moodle it is very easy to get your content moved over into a future/current semester. You are not required to create your online course component from scratch every semester, we can move your pervious course over to edit and revise as needed.
You will notice that when you login to the Moodle dashboard that you have access to the last semester from the drop down list available in the dashboard.

Adding a YuJa Activity to Your Moodle Course
To get started using YuJa, the first step is to create a link within your course. This does a number of things:
- The first time that you do this, an account within YuJa is created for you.
- It creates a course channel within YuJa (with you as the instructor of that course channel and all of your students as student). This allows you to easily restrict content to just the course that the material is associated with (you can always share the content to a wider audience if you want).
- It allows you to quickly access your YuJa content, the video recorder, video editor, and settings for your content.
To get started, first navigate to the course that you would like to start using YuJa in and turn editing on by clicking on the toggle switch in the top right corner of your Moodle page.
