They are:
Offline activity: If your student projects can't be uploaded into Moodle because the student submission isn't electronic (just like my poster project) then you can manage grades and your notes on the students' work using this kind of assignment type.
Online text: Students are going to be creating the assignment submission using the text editor built into Moodle. That's the one we've been using to create our course so far.
Upload a single file: Students can only upload one file. That's the activity...
