Moodle - Course upload limits on assignments.

Moodle - Course upload limits on assignments.

Hello Moodlers,

For many years our university has used moodle. Currently 3.11.9 planned move to 4.3 this summer. We have a big media department that always struggles with assignment uploads at the end of the semester. The main reason is file size. Students upload video files as an end of year assessment and the video always max out on the file limit for assignment. As admins we need to change the setting to allow an higher upload limit for that time period. This is done on the backend but seems like extra work that could be mitigated.

Does anyone know if moodle 4 brings the ability to set a higher upload limit? Also if this can be done at an Individual course level as we don’t want to enable a higher course upload limit for all courses - storage these days is a premium.

If not then we will continue to use a work around but I am interested to know if any other universities are have the same problem, and how they are dealing with it.

Thanks,

Khaled

Sounds like you are using Site Level only per course.
There are settings for course level and activity level.

Consider

Media Department assignments would change from one that required an upload
to one that shared a link to the teacher for the students shared folder on their Google Drive.

Would think students might find that desirable as they could put together an e-portfolio of their work.

or could use:
WIX, Behance, FolioSpaces, Weebly

Truth in suggesting ... have not tried all the above.

Could part of the assignment being producing reasonably small video files? If absolute video quality is one of the requirements, then uploading to Moodle may well not be wise at all.

Did you read Video?

Not mentioned there, but Moodle is not a proper video server. Moodle is OK for small scale use of videos but you have a major operation.

That said, I'm not sure whether your problem is specific to video. Isn't it more about students uploading big files in to Moodle, thereby hitting the resource limits?
