Best Practices with Multiple Due Dates in Discussions Plus

Oh, you didn't know you can have a discussion activity with multiple due dates?

Two quick things to know:

For Instructors: Set the due date for the Canvas assignment to match the due date of your final Discussions Plus milestone.  Typically, this is the date when students are expected to complete their comments on peers' posts or (better) their replies to comments that have been made on their post.

  • If you instead set the Canvas due date to match the date of the first milestone then you must also set an Until date in Canvas and set the milestones to be relative to that date. Note: in this case, all activity after the first milestone in Discussions Plus will be marked 'late' in Canvas!

For Students & Instructors: Users can now sync milestones to appear on their To Do list in Canvas!  Once you're in the Discussions Plus environment, click the calendar icon and then simply "authorize" the sync between Discussions Plus and Canvas.  More information...
