IDT Tips for Adding Due Dates

• Adding due dates helps students understand when work should be submitted.
• The due date helps with navigation, but assignment instructions should live inside the item so students know exactly what is expected.
• After adding due dates, view the course in Student Preview to confirm that all requirements appear as intended.
• If you are Teaching Online, refer to the Important Semester Dates to plan the weekly due dates and weekly availability dates for the semester.
