How to: Download all submissions from a Moodle Assignment dropbox

• When students have submitted their work to your assignment dropbox, and the deadline has passed, you can download all the submissions together as a single .zip file
• You can use this feature to mark the submissions offline before uploading back into the module for feedback.
