Leave the 'File submissions' check box ticked as this will enable students to upload files. If you want students to type directly into a Moodle assignment or submit video, then tick the check box 'Online text'. Select the maximum number of files they can upload if needed, leave the "Maximum submission size" at default unless you wish to restrict file size.

• "Submission types": Online text, file submission or both. If Online text is selected then can set a word limit. 
• "Maximum number of uploaded files": Defaults to 1 but you can allow up to 20 files.
• "Maximum submission size": Up to 250mb
• "Accepted file types": Able to restrict what file types will be accepted. Separate by using a comma, for example: .pdf, .docx   

...

Note: If you wish to annotate the students’ submission, we recommend that you request your students to submit in PDF (if applicable) then you will be able to annotate their PDF submission regardless of what type of feedback selected. It does not work with any other file format. 

Submission settings
If you expect the student to submit an initial draft then set "Require students to click submit" button to 'Yes', if not then leave as 'No'. "Require that students accept the submission statement" should be set to 'Yes'.

• "Require students click submit button" (students can keep a submission in draft form and resubmit if necessary until they click submit to send it finally for marking).
• "Require that students accept the submission statement" (if this is important).
• "Attempts reopenedAdditional attempts" (you can make each attempt final, permit resubmission to be enabled for a student by an editing teacher or allow the student to resubmit until they achieve a required pass grade).
• "Maximum attempts" (number of resubmissions allowed).

...

"Notify graders about submissions" will send an email to all Teachers and Editing Teachers on the module every time a students submits or updates their assignment. We recommend that this is left as 'No' and "Notify graders about late submissions" is set to 'Yes'. Leave "Default setting for 'Notify students'" to  to 'No' otherwise an automated email will be sent to the student when their work has been marked.

Turnitin plagiarism plugin settings

...

• "Enable Turnitin": Do you wish to send the submissions to Turnitin to check for plagiarism
• "Display Originality Reports to Students": Whether students can see their own originality reports. (Students can always check their work in the separate TurnitinUK Test Your Text module.)
• "When should the file be submitted to Turnitin?": Submit file when first uploaded is the default and is recommended.
• "Allow submission of any file type?": We recommend this option is set to No so that students may NOT submit files of types (e.g. .zip  or .pages) which cannot produce an originality report. If Yes is set, Turnitin will accept, but not produce reports on some files.
• "Store Student Papers:  Set Set this set to Standard repository.
• "Report Generation Speed": This refers to originality report generation (should they be generated each time a student resubmits – one per 24 hours – or only after the final submission?) and whether students can resubmit. We recommend Generate reports immediately (resubmissions are allowed until due date). 
• "Exclude Bibliography/Quoted Material/Small Matches": Choose whether to exclude the bibliography from Turnitin – this is often one of the biggest sources of matching, also exclude quoted material and small matches such as 4 or 6 words.
• "Attach rubric to this assignment": As this is a Moodle assignment leave this as 'No rubric'. You cannot use Turnitin rubrics to mark a Moodle assignment. Please contact Learning Technologies if you would like to use a Moodle rubric.
