Assignment type "URL"?

Assignment type "URL"?

Hi,

I've just installed moodle and I think it's absolutely great! It's exactly what I was looking for.
But I'm wondering if there is a possibility that students submit an URL?
I do some courses on webdesign and web programming and I don't need the whole website to be uploaded by students. The URL would be enough.
Is this possible?

thanks

And then and URL with a student comment/annotation  field like SHELVES have, I hope..

Hi Ger!

That is why I like the script by Williams, it provides for a Bookmark comment area. 

Also, if the 'URL" can be stored in an area with other file storage ( like the present "files" area or the coming "DMS") that would provide an easier way to manage all stored material in one location.

Hi Ger!

I'm sorry, but I don't know why you mean. Could you please post you answer more detailed? Sorry for my "not-understanding"...

Hi,

The glossary module is another option.  smile

Well, it works - but it is not very convenient.

Yes I know what you mean, the layout is not ideal for urls, although all the information can be entered there:  the url, a title, description, even files can be attached if that is necessary.  Each entry by a student can be approved and graded too.

However a dedicated module or resource type would be preferrable, I agree.  smile

I think an "online assignment" type would do the trick.

In the meantime, have you considered the journal?

Hi Przemyslaw!

Thank you for the hint with the journal! This is a quite convenient solution.
