Setting Dates and Adding Descriptions

This document will give you an overview of how to set dates in your course.

Step 3 - Visibility and Due Dates

1. Click where it says "Add..." to add a date, if there is already a date click on it to change it.
2. Click "Update"

IMPORTANT note:

Setting dates from the content area sets the Visibility of the item.

• Start Date - Displays the topic to be viewed before this date students will NOT be able to view the topic.
• End Date - Makes the topic and posts no longer visible students.
• Due Date - Acts as a flag for the last day students should complete the activity. This will NOT lock them out or lock their visibility to the activity. It is a reminder to them and a flag for you when you go to grade so you can see when their submissions are late.
