ASSIGNMENTS: ADDING RESTRICTIONS

How do I set restrictions for an Assignment? Activities | Assignments

  • Log in to CELO+ website, click course selector and click the course you want to go (in this tutorial, use sandbox).

  • Click Assignments in the navbar of your course. You will land on the Assignments homepage to get an overview of all the  assignments you have created. 
  1. Click New Assignment to create a new assignment, or 
  2. Click the arrow next to the assignment to open the quick-menu. 
  3. Click Edit Assignment to edit an assignment.
Zoom:
  1. Navigate to Restrictions (second tab). Important: for a new assignment, you need to create a new assignment first, before you can navigate to the restrictions tab.
  2. Hide from users is turned on by default, which means that students cannot see the assignment. Tick Hide from users to make the assignment visible to students. 
  3. You can set a deadline under Due Date. Important: the option Now should only be used if you did not set a due date in Brightspace, but have communicated one to your students. By clicking Now you can directly set the communicated deadline in motion. 
  4. Indicate at Has Start Date the time and date that students can start submitting the assignment. Indicate at Has End Date the time and date that the assignment closes which means students are no longer able to view or submit the assignment. Click Now if the date and time are to start immediately. Important: the option Now should only be used for End Date when you want to close the assignment directly. 
  5. Add release conditions if you want.
  6. Under Special Access you can select for certain students to get special access to the assignment (Optional):
    • Select Allow users with special access to submit outside the normal availability dates for this folder if certain students get different submission dates. 
    • Select Allow only users with special access to see this folder if only certain students are allowed to see a certain folder. 
    • Click Add Users to Special Access to select students who will get special access. 
  7. Click Save and Close to return to the Assignments homepage.

Do not use the Now button to set the Due Date and End Date to start immediately. We recommend setting a Due Date and End Date when creating the assignment. This way you don't have to worry about processing communicated deadlines later on and it makes it much clearer for the student when the deadline is set and when they cannot access the assignment anymore.

Leave the Has End Date box empty if it is useful for students to be able to view the assignment after submitting it (for example whilst preparing for their exams). However, do fill in a deadline at Has Due Date. Students will now keep their access to the assignment and can still submit their assignments, but as a teacher you will have a clear overview which shows you when an assignment was handed in late. If you do decide to fill in an End Date, students will still see the title of the assignment, but will not be able to open it anymore (the same goes for the period of the Start Date, if there is one).

DISCUSSIONS

Image
     Use the Discussions tool to: allow students to work together. A discussion is a place where students can come together online and therefore a good place for students to work together. You can create different discussion topics for different groups and give them a space to share documents; allow students to easily discuss certain topics that are relevant to the course; allow students to provide each other with (peer)feedback. Students can share files, like documents, images, and videos, in discussion topics that can subsequently be viewed by everyone who has access to that topic. This allows students to provide other students with peer feedback and receive feedback on their own material. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will limit our tutorial for only creating a discussion forum and discussion topic. We wont be dwelling on the other aspects of the discussion page. If you are interested in discussions and want to know...
