- To enter online text:
Type directly into the Online text box. Alternately, you can compose your submission in a word processing program and then copy and paste the text into the Moodle text box.- When pasting text into Moodle, for best results, paste the content as unformatted text.

- To submit a file using drag-and-drop:
- Arrange your computer desktop windows so that you can view both your browser window and the files on your computer (e.g., in an open folder or on your desktop).
- Drag files from your computer and release them on top of the big blue arrow in the Files area.
