The Learner Upload module type allows learners (or admins on behalf of the learner) to upload files (up to 3 files per module, no larger than 250MB in size each). Optionally, the module may be set to require Marking by an admin so that the module won’t become complete until an Admin has reviewed the upload.
Learner Upload Modules might be used for:
-
Submitting written assignments
-
Submitting documentation such as Driver’s or other licenses which can remain on file and be reviewed administratively

Note: The Learner Upload module type must be created from within a course via the Content,>Courses tab and cannot be created via the Module Library.

-
Now name the module,>Place a directive to learner in the Question field (i.e., Please upload your driver’s license),>Select a module ‘Type’ (based on your use case), and Save
