Content Item Date Settings

When you first start your course set up there are a few areas you will need to update with dates for the course. These dates will assist students to stay on task and to be successful.  

1. Set the availability date defaults.
   This will control how the dates you enter for items will perform in your course.  
   • To change those settings from your course click on Manage Course 
   • Select Course Admin 
   • Select the link for Availability Date Defaults 
   • Change any of the settings that fit with the restrictions appropriate for your course.  
      
2. Manage Content Item Dates
   Adjust dates for individual items within the course. If you have copied the dates from another course you can use this tool to offset dates to adjust the dates 
   • To change those settings from your course click on Manage Course 
   • Select Course Admin 
   • Use the filter options to select specific tools within the course
   • For multiple items with the same dates,  use Bulk Edit Dates to set the dates for those items.
   • To edit an individual item either click on the date that is assigned already or the dash “-” to edit the dates
