Exams and assessment
Submitting work to Moodle
Just about all work at York St John University is submitted via Moodle. Essays may be uploaded to a Moodle submission box or to TurnItIn via Moodle. Mahara ePortfolio submissions are also through Moodle. Videos can be submitted directly to Moodle or can be uploaded to the YSJ Media Library or YouTube and then a link is submitted to a Moodle text box.

Submitting an essay to TurnItin via Moodle
Word file assignments should be submitted to Moodle for assessment. There are two types of submissions. A TurnItIn submission is shown by the red arrow around paper icon.
TurnItIn assignments usually allow re-submission up to the deadline for the assignment where the final submission is the one that is marked.
You can self-check your own work to get a report on its originality before the actual submission if you wish. This is through a special Moodle course that you can self-enrol onto called Academic Integrity.

Sometimes for submissions requiring a simple link or short piece of text this is submitted directly on Moodle by typing or pasting rather than by attaching a file.
