If you administer a course with linked sections, you can determine how assessments, tests, and quizzes will affect your students’ overall grades in the course, and set different availability and due dates for each course section.
-
Availability refers to publishing or unpublishing the item. When the item is published, students can access it.
-
Due Date determines if a student receives notifications for that item. If the item has a due date, it will be displayed in students' calendar and Upcoming feed. The due date does not indicate if the item is published or if submissions are enabled.
-
Submissions determine whether or not the student can start an attempt and submit the item. If the item is published but submissions are not enabled, students may access the item but will be unable to start an attempt.
