How do I change Open, Close & Due Dates in a course using one process?
@rowen15
I'm a little confused by the question, so I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for or not. You mention "open, close, and due dates" but you also mention "module dates" in your title. Assignments have open, close, and due dates. Modules only have a lock until date, which is essentially the date to open the module. I think you mean assignments, but you're looking at the modules page and so connected the two.
For assignments, Canvas has the functionality to change all the dates at once, but not from the modules page. You need to go to the Assignments page to do this.
Once you're on the assignments page, click the "more options" (three vertical dots at the top right) and choose "Edit Assignment Dates". This opens a batch edit page that allows you to set when the assignments open, close, and are due for the entire course. This is the closest that Canvas has for editing the dates for all assignments in one location. More information is available in the How do I bulk update due dates and availability dates as an instructor? lesson in the Canvas Instructor Guide.
If the bulk date editor doesn't work or you really want to edit assignment dates from the modules page, you have to do it one at a time. Click the more options and choose Assign To.
For modules, the functionality to edit them all in one location does not exist in Canvas. You would need to edit each module separately.
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
