While I have set the correct timezone in the course settings (Eastern), student accounts default to Mountain (in Free for Teachers). So do the assignment due-dates automatically compensate for this? We're all in Eastern Time.
Thanks!
Hello @KnightlyScribe ...
I recommend that you let your students know as soon as possible that they set their own time zone so they have an accurate display of when assignments are due to be submitted to you. For students, you can give them a link to this Guide:
For you (instructor), there should be two places that you can set time zones. One is at the course level. The other is at your user account level. So, for example, since you live in the Eastern Time Zone, you would set both to "Eastern Time".
If you had a student taking your course that lived in the Central Time Zone, for example, the student would set the time zone appropriately, and Canvas would figure all of that out so there is no confusion.
I hope this will help a bit. Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!

And since…
Has anyone run into issues with Speedgrader erroring when opening a student submission from a dropbox? See image for error information. I accessed this directly through the gradebook and instructors are getting the same message.
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
Teachers often assume that because an assignment is a groupassignment, they will automatically grade it per group via SpeedGrader. With the option “Grade students individually”, they think they’re simply assigning the group grade to each individual student — without realizing that this option actually requires them to…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
