Use Moodle's assignment activity to post and grade homework assignments.
Moodle gives you four choices for posting homework assignments, depending on how you want to receive student submissions. When you create an assignment, a column for its grade automatically appears in the gradebook.
To add an assignment activity, insure that editing is turned on (see Section 6, “Adding content to your course”), and decide in which weekly block or topic block you want to attach the assignment.
Procedure 10. Posting a new assignment

Under the Assignments section of this menu, select one of these four choices for receiving submissions:

Students must upload one file as their homework submission.
Use this choice if the submission is not in the form of a computer file. You can post the assignment online, but students are not allowed to post submissions.
