Are you setting Canvas dates correctly?
This brief video shows you how to set up the three different date types in a graded Assignment: due dates, available from dates, and until dates.
Set Multiple Discussion Due Dates (Checkpoints)
After January 18, 2025, you can set multiple discussion due dates (known as checkpoints) in a graded discussion. Tell students when you want them to post a reply to your prompt by, and then tell them when you want them to respond to a peer's response by. Watch the video to see how to set the dates, grading options, and how students will interact with multiple due dates.
