NOTE: The default is to have late submissions accepted with approval. Late submissions settings are only applied for the Creation Stage.
Multi-Topic Activities
Multiple Topics allows instructors to cover a wider range of content by having students do the same activity with varying instructions.
Each student is assigned one topic to make a creation for. Half the students are assigned Topic A and the other half are assigned Topic B.
Students will evaluate peer Creations on a topic different from their own.
Feedback works the same as regular activities.
How to Use Multi-Topic
In the Options section, under "Multiple Topics", select "Enabled"
In your instructions, identify which topic you want A or B to reference.
Students will be assigned a topic identified by the letters A and B. Ensure that your activity instructions clearly outline which topic you want each letter to reference.
Save and Schedule the activity.
Once the multi-topic activity is scheduled, you will be able to download a csv. file of the Student Topic Assignment List in the "Activity Details" section.
