What’s Your Preference?
Today we rolled out some new preferences for teachers. They are all course-related. That is, these settings exist for an individual course only. You may find them by going to your Control Panel and clicking on “Course Options” next to that course.
Let student see future assignments
This setting controls whether students may or may not see assignments that have a “date assigned” that is in the future. Some teachers might find it more useful to hide upcoming assignments to prevent confusion and to better guide students’ learning, but others might like to reveal where the course is headed. It’s all up to you.
New Assignment Preferences
This section include two preferences that let you control some default values for the creation of new assignments: the default assignment type, and whether or not students can ask questions about that assignment. The default values that you specify on this screen will be automatically be filled in when you go to create new assignments in this course. You can always change them, of course; this will merely save you some clicking time if, for example, most of your assignments are Homework, or you always want to enable student questions.
