If you do not accept late assignments, the Cut-off date is critical: it determines when the the Add submission, Edit submission, and Submit assignment buttons buttons in AsULearn go away for Students for the assignment. 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 notice as you begin grading, rather than having to create extensions. Explain in the syllabus how you will handle late assignments. If If no attempt is made to complete the assignment, after the Due date it will be marked Assignment is overdue. |
Remind me to grade by: This setting is used to prioritize the notifications on the Teacher dashboard.
Time limit: You can enter a time limit for an assignment similar to a quiz. Once students click Begin assignment, a timer will start counting down. Students cannot pause or restart the timer. A time limit does not prevent students from submitting their assignment after the time has passed. They can still submit but their submission is marked as submitted after the time limit.
Submission types
One or both types of submission can be enabled.

Turnitin plagiarism plugin settings
AsULearn assignments now have Turnitin added as a plugin the Turnitin Plagiarism 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 of a Turnitin assignment, 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.
