Submission settings
_Note_
"Require students to click the submit button" is "No" by default
- Students drag and drop assignment files, then click "Submit assignment".
- The submission status becomes Submitted, and students can edit it as many times as needed before the due date.
If you set this to "Yes", students must click buttons three times.
Students must do the following.
- Drag and drop an assignment file, then click "Submit assignment".
- → The submission becomes a draft (it can be edited any number of times. Students see "Draft (not submitted)" and it remains a draft even if the due date passes).
- → Click "Submit assignment".
- → Click "Continue".
- → The submission status becomes Submitted and can no longer be edited.
Students may click the submit button only once, fail to check their work, and leave the submission as a draft until the due date. If you change the setting to "Yes", make sure students are fully informed of this point.
When to Release Grades
Set "Use marking workflow" under "Grade" as follows.
- To release grades at your preferred time: select "Yes" (the default is "Yes").
- To release grades to students at the same time as entering grades or uploading an offline grading worksheet: select "No".
- Click "Save and return to course" at the bottom of the page.
