Information to note:
Create Stage: This setting only applies to future activities and/or a creation stage that has not passed the deadline in an active activity.
Evaluate Stage: This setting only applies to future activities and/or a evaluation stage that has not passed the deadline in an active activity.
Late submissions settings only apply to the creation and evaluate stage for activities. If you have a student who needs to submit a late feedback, please have them contact our Live Chat after receiving approval from you.
How to set up late submissions:
Navigate to your course, and select your ‘Activities’, which will be found on the taskbar on the left
Go into your activity, and select "Edit Schedule"
Scroll down to the "Late Submissions settings" section.
Select ‘Expand’ to the right to view more details.
Select the Late Submission option you would like, as outlined below:
Allow Late Submissions - Students are able to independently submit Creations and Evaluations beyond the assigned due date. You will have to manually accept each late creation submitted. If disabled, no late submissions will be allowed beyond the due date.
Apply Late Penalties - When late submissions are enabled, you will have the choice to assign a penalty percentage for late submissions in the Create and Evaluate stages.
Auto-accept late submissions - This can only be enabled if late submissions are allowed. When enabled, you will automatically accept all late submissions for the Create and Evaluate stages, and all late creations will be automatically assigned eligible Evaluators.
What is an eligible Evaluator?
an eligible Evaluator is any student that has not begun their evaluations yet. When auto-accepting late creations, eligible Evaluators will be randomly assigned to evaluate the creation.
Please note, all submissions received past the Evaluate stage will have to be graded manually by you, as there would be no eligible Evaluators.
Needs Approval - Students’ late submissions will only be accepted if you choose to accept them. This will only be an option if the "Allow Late Submissions" option is turned on.
You will receive an email notification prompting you that there are late submissions needing to be approved or rejected.
All submissions will be date-stamped and marked as late.
Eligible Evaluators will be automatically assigned if the Creation was submitted during the Evaluate stage. This means that some students may receive more evaluations to complete than what you assigned.
You can always reject a late submission at any time even after it's been accepted.
Note: We don't recommend using this setting as it can cause confusion if, for example, a student submits a creation 5 minutes before the Evaluate deadline, none of the evaluators will have a chance to evaluate it in time.
Late Submission Penalty:
Instructors have the ability to add a late penalty to students who submit a creation after the deadline. The % penalty can be configured under the Late Submission Settings.
The student will be aware that there was a penalty applied to their score via the alert message and when viewing their final creation score.
