  1. Submit assignments or online take-home exams using a laptop or computer NOT a mobile phone. Go somewhere with a reliable internet connection.
  2. Submit in good time. Please submit your assignments or take-home exams well in advance of the deadline (e.g., several hours before, for assignments, or by using your 30 minutes' tech time in exams) so that if you have any problems you can fix them before running out of time. 
  3. Convert to PDF. Unless advised otherwise, convert your document into a readable PDF for submission (other acceptable file types are listed in the Troubleshooting Guide). Please make sure that any document you submit is readable, i.e. all pages are in the same orientation, and, for any scanned documents, that these are legible.
  4. Browser needs. Check JavaScript and popups are enabled in your browser. Do not use Safari (Chrome is recommended) and avoid trying submission on a smartphone. 
  5. Which dropbox? Check which kind of assignment dropbox you are submitting to, as the requirements are slightly different.
  6. Audio or video? For audio or video submissions please see How to submit a media file via a Moodle Assignment
  7. Practice before you submit. Use the Test Your Text dropbox.
  8. Check the icon on your dropbox in your module to see which kind of assignment you are asked to submit to.
