Canvas Tip #5- Adjust the Assignments Default Due Time

amcdonnell Uncategorized

This is a nice update that just came out on April 16. We can now modify the Default Due Time Field for assignments from the current and hitherto unchangeable 11:59 pm.  It’s been a bit tedious to always adjust the due time, and I forget about once every three weeks to change the default due time. Currently, since the due date is 11:59 pm, students can tell me that they thought it was due that evening instead of before class. Perhaps you’ve heard that to?

Here’s how I changed my default due time from 11:59 pm to 8:00 am. (BTW, if you like the step by step tool below, it is called IORAD and it is a Google Chrome Extension.)

7 STEPS

1. The first step is to open Religions and Revolutions (McD) 21-22
