Our Moodle environment is configured to only allow students to upload assignment files of up to 10MB. This amount should suffice for any essays or small projects, but it may be insufficient for large graphics, PowerPoint decks, or multimedia projects.
When it is expected that students will be handing in large files, it is recommended to make use of OneDrive via Office 365. Using this method, students can upload large files to their cloud drives and share work with instructors via a link.
