Coursework

A coursework is a learning module such as an assignment, class note, or project.

A coursework can be assigned a due date, points, a rubic, 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.
