Continue this process until you have changed all the due date or availability dates for specific assignments.
Use Bulk Edit Dates to update Due Dates and Availability Dates
Select the activities you want to include on the Bulk Edit Dates by selecting the box to the left of each activity you want to become available or be due on the same date.
Then scroll back up until you see the Bulk Edit Dates icon and select it.
On the screen that appears,
- Select the box under Due Dates (for this example) or under Start or End Dates in your course.
- Select the new due date you want all of those activities to be due.
- Select Save
Now we can see that the due date for all three assignments has been changed.
Using Bulk Offset Dates
This is a great tool if you have announcements or graded activities that are the exact same week of the semester every term.
Select all the announcements, assignments, content, quizzes, or discussions that you want to be due or available at exactly the same week in the upcoming term by selecting the box to the left of each item.
You can also select all items by selecting the box to the left of the Bulk Edit Dates Icon.
Select the Bulk Offset Dates Icon
Now you will decide how many days you want to move the due dates or availability dates and whether you want to move them forward or backward.
Typically, you will move dates forward.
Now select the number of day you want each date to be moved forward and put it in the range box
If you are not sure how many dates there are between terms, use the 'Calculate range between two dates' option. and enter the first day of last semester and the first day of the new semester. And it will display the number of days between the start of those two semesters.
Select the Save button. All the dates on activities you selected should be moved forward as you selected.
