If you do not accept late assignments, the Cut-off date is critical: it determines when the Add submission, Edit submission, and Submit assignment button buttons in AsULearn goes go away for students Students for the assignment. Keep in mind that students Students are likely to request extensions; if you are likely to extend them, a time-saving strategy may be to disable the Cut-off date and simply rely on the red "Assignment submitted late" mark notice as you begin grading, rather than having to create extensions. Explain in the syllabus how you will handle late assignments. If no attempt is made to complete the assignment, after the Due date it will be marked Assignment is overdue. |

Turnitin plagiarism plugin settings
AsULearn assignments now have Turnitin added as a built-in " plugin " feature, which allows for originality reports to promote academic integrity. We encourage you to talk with students about originality and academic integrity, rather than using it simply as a "gotcha" feature, by displaying originality reports to students as they submit.
AsULearn also offers standalone Turnitin assignments, which will give you access to all of the features that of a Turnitin assignment allows, such as its unique grading interface. However, the advantage of using an AsULearn assignment with the Turnitin plugin enabled means you can use any groups you have set up within AsULearn. Standalone Turnitin assignments do not recognize your AsULearn groups, though they are integrated in AsULearn.
To learn more about the Turnitin features offered in both kinds of assignments, click here.
