Setting the due date for the whole class
If you use Canvas or Google Classroom, just set due dates like you would for any other assignment, and they'll automatically be sent to Derivita.
If you use another LMS (like Schoology, Blackboard, or Moodle), follow these steps:
- Open the assignment
- In the top left, under the Derivita logo, click "Due: Not set". You'll be taken to the assignment settings page
- Click "Not Set" and choose a date and time
- Click "OK", then in the top right, click "Save"
The due date in Derivita doesn't sync with the LMS, so we recommend that you set the same due date in the LMS as well, so it'll appear on your class calendar.
Setting the due date for particular students
If you want to give some students an alternate due date, you can learn how below:
