Under the Assignments tab, select Lesson Due Dates to view and assign the due dates for your section(s).

 

The following page will appear where you can manage which due date template is applied to which section.

 

 

Create a New Due Date Template

A new due date template can be created by selecting a section name that has not been assigned a template yet or by pressing the Manage by Template button at the top of the screen and then pressing the Create New Template button. An existing template can be edited by selecting a section to which that template is assigned or by pressing the Manage By Template button and selecting the desired template.

 

From the Edit Lesson Due Dates page, due dates for assigned lessons can be applied. Give the new template a name in the box labeled Due Date Name. Then, enter the desired due dates for each lesson in the column labeled Due Date. Due Dates may be entered in either the MM/DD/YYYY format or the MM/DD/YY format. Dates can also be entered by selecting the calendar icon and choosing the date from the calendar. Students must complete their lesson certificates on or prior to the chosen dates in order to be considered "On time" and receive full credit for the lessons. The status of lesson submissions may be viewed using the All Student Scores and Detailed Student Grades reports.

 

 

You may choose to Share, Lock (Course Administrators only) and/or Allow lessons to be marked as bonus within your due date template. Selecting the Share check-box will allow other instructors in the course to view and assign the same template to their sections. Selecting Lock will prevent other instructors in the course from editing the due date template. Selecting Allow lessons to be marked as bonus enables the lesson bonus feature.

 

Note: If Allow lessons to be marked as bonus is enabled, an additional checkbox will display below that reads Bonus lessons included in grade as they are completed. Place a checkmark in this checkbox to have bonus lessons calculate into student grades as they are completed.

 

Show Additional Options

Select the Show Additional Options button to assign lessons without due dates, mark lessons as bonus or to choose when lessons will be available/visible to students.

 

 

You also have the ability to choose a date that lessons will be available to your students to access under the Visible On column. Students will not be able to access these lessons until the specified date arrives. Further, you may also assign points on a per-lesson basis, if desired. Once you have made all desired changes, press the Save Changes button.

 

Shift Multiple Due Dates

The Shift Multiple Due Dates feature allows you to shift lesson due dates relative to a single day, simplifying the process of setting up for new semesters or adjusting for missed class days.

 

 

To Shift Multiple Due Dates:

 

 Note: No assignments due before this date will be affected.

 

 

 

 Note: Before saving your changes, you may select the View Calendar button to view them in calendar format.

 

 

Note: If due dates shift outside of the start or end date of the section, a dialog box will appear confirming the change. Press Save to accept and apply the changes. Press Cancel if the changes are only intended for the current section.

 

Assign a Due Date Template

Each section may be assigned a different due date template. On the Manage Lesson Due Dates (By Section) page, you can designate which due date template is assigned to each section. Sections can be assigned a template individually by selecting a template from the drop-down menu beside the section name. A due date template may be assigned to all sections at once by selecting the template from the drop-down menu beside "All Sections" or beside an instructor's name (for Course Administrators).

 

 

Once you have made any desired changes, press the Save button to assign/un-assign the lesson due date template(s).
