Coursework
In our system, all assignments, quizzes, and class activities are collectively called coursework .
A coursework can be assigned a due date, points, a rubric, and can be time-released. The time release feature allows faculty to set the date and time when the coursework title is released to students and/or date and time when the entire coursework content is released to students.
