How do I create varied due date Quizzes?

You can assign different availability dates and due dates Quizzes for each section of your course. This feature is designed to help you when you have sections of a course that meet on different days of the week or in different formats (online vs face-to-face).

Due Date Warning

If you assign a due date for one section without assigning due dates to remaining sections, you will see a warning message reminding you to add due dates to all sections. For example, the sample course in this lesson has 3 sections. Section 1 was assigned a due date, but Sections 2 and 3 were not.

You can click the No Due Date button [1] if you don't want to add due dates to the other sections, or click the Go Back button [2] to go back and add due dates.

Error Notifications

Users will receive a notification when they submit an invalid string of due dates for a Quiz, Assignment, or Graded Discussion. Such invalid entries include not unlocking the assignment before it is due, or not placing the due date inside the range of availability dates.
