7.5.3 Name & Date

 

STEP 1. This step allows the instructor to select a name for the assignment and the start date and time and end date and time for the Homework. The Homework will be available to the students during this period. By default, the start date and time is when you begin creating the Homework; the end date and time is 11:59 PM of the same day. This section additionally includes other accessibility parameters that can be selected.

Name
A sequential name for the Homework will be generated (e.g., Homework 1, Homework 2, etc.), or the instructor can choose a name.

Normally, the Homework will be left Enabled; if you wish to keep it hidden for the time being, change the Status to Disabled using the drop-down menu.

Start Date and End Date

If IP addresses are used to restrict access to assignments to within the college, a Location drop-down menu will be available (Sec. 7.9.1).

Time Limit
By default, there is no time limit on a Homework, but one may be assigned.
