Manage Due Dates for Learners in Courseware
Explanation
In Plato Courseware, Educators have the ability to change the Due Date for a class or for a single learner. This knowledge article will cover the directions for editing the due date for a class or for a single learner. As a best practice we recommend including both a start and end date. An end date allows you to view pacing on the My Course Sections page.
Resolution
To edit start or end date for Learners
- Go to your Courseware Program
- Click the Menu button and select 'Manage Courses' for Administrators and 'My Course Sections' for Instructors.
- Locate the Course and expand the course by clicking the blue arrow to the left of the course name.
- Click on the gear icon for the class
- Enter the 'End Date' and select a date on the calendar or enter a date with the following format (mm/dd/yyyy).
- Click 'Save Changes' button at the bottom
- There is an additional setting on all classes to 'Lock After End Date' which will determine whether the student will be able to access the class activities after the due date.
To edit start or end date for Individual Learners
- Click on Menu
- Go to 'My Course Sections' for Instructors and 'Manage Courses' for Administrators
- Locate the Course and expand the course by clicking the blue arrow to the left of the course name.
- Click on the class name in blue.
- Select the check box to the left of the student's name and select 'Edit Start/End Dates'
- Select the box under Start/End date and select a date on the calendar or enter a date with the following format (mm/dd/yyyy).
- Click 'Save Start & End Dates' button at the bottom
*Warning: Updating Start and End Dates will recalculate student pacing.
NOTE:
- END DATES directly effects the pacing a student sees. View more on this here.
- If an educator has not checked the “lock if overdue” box the assignment will still be accessible to the student but have a red overdue alert on the main landing page.
- If an educator has checked the lock box, the assignment will be locked as seen below:
Neither instance removes the assignment from view.
