Can I change the Availability dates for multiple items on one screen?
Answer
Moodle offers a Dates Report that lists dates for all course activities and allows instructors to update activity dates from the list.
To access the Dates Report:
- Click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the main course page.
- Select More... from the end of the dropdown menu. This takes you into the Course Administration area.
- Click the Reports tab and select Dates from the list.
- You can select an Activity type from the dropdown menu on the left to see all the instances of a specific activity such as Assignments, Click the Expand all link on the right to expand all the sections below.
- Change the dates as needed. (Don't forget to change the year, if you are changing dates to start the Spring semester.)
- Click Save changes at the bottom of the screen.
NOTE: At the bottom of the screen is a Timeline that shows when course items are due. After you save changes, come back to view this timeline for a quick way to doublecheck your dates.
