Due dates help both students and teachers keep track of upcoming, as well as completed, work.
Due dates can be set for both assessed and non-assessed Lessons. This can help provide a clear path for students to work through their Lesson(s) in a more organised and timely way.
Teachers can easily set and edit these dates as needed, as well as assign varying due dates for each Class within a Subject.
This article covers the following:
- Set the due date for a Lesson;
- Remove the due date for a Lesson;
- What the teacher sees;
- What the student sees.
Set the due date for a Lesson
- In your Lessons tab, click on the title of the Lesson you want to create a due date for.
- Just below the Prepare/Teach/Analyse toggle, click on Due date.
- Click into the text field or on the calendar icon to set the date.
- Do the same on the clock icon to set the time.
- Click the Save button to save the new due date.
Note: If you have more than one Class in the Subject and want to set different dates for each, click the I want to set a due date for each class button.
