The video assignment tool allows students to submit video files/media for assessment. Staff can also grade and provide feedback on submitted work via the Moodle assignment grading tools. 

This assignment workflow utilises Lecturecast to enable students to upload and submit videos through the Moodle assignment. Using Lecturecast to store and access videos is advantageous to having students directly submit to Moodle. Lecturecast allows for larger file uploads and the quality and playback speed of its videos are typically greater.
