Date Management Tool Now Available

Date Management Tool Now Available

This tool allows tutors to view in one screen when items are available and change dates attached to more than one content item within a module at the same time. For example, change:

·         adaptive release dates on content, lesson plans, folders, files, web links, tasks, mash-ups and the due date of assessments

·         dates when discussion boards are visible

·         Announcement start and close dates

The tool also provides an overview of date criteria set against all items within your module.

The date management tool will be most useful at the start of the academic year when the module areas have just been copied across from the previous year.

The guide for the Date Management tool is now available on the CAP/Hub page under tutor guides: Click here
