How to use activity dates

Instructors can display the due date on activities on the course page by enabling “Show activity dates” in the course settings.

Enable Show Activity Date

  1. Click the “Settings” tab within your course.
  2. Expand the “Appearance” section and set “Show activity dates” to Yes (this is on by default).
  3. Click [Save and display]

Setting the Activity Date for an Assignment

For assignments that have an “allow submissions from” date, due date, and cut-off date (i.e., Moodle assignments, Forums, etc), the dates can be displayed on the main course page once they’re enabled.

To enable these options to be displayed on the course page, do so by navigating to the “Availability” settings for the assignment. Here you can check which dates you want to enable and set the dates appropriately. The “remind me to grade by” date is only displayed for the instructor in the course.
