Utilize Due Dates on Assignments

When talking about Brightspace with students and their experiences, a frequent request is for instructors to post assignments with due dates so that they appear on the student’s Brightspace google calendar & /or on the work to do widget like this:

If you currently do not have the Work to Do widget , you can add it to your Homepage by following these steps:

  1. Click on Course Administration
  2. Select Homepage
  3. If you have never customized your homepage, you will need to make a copy of the existing one
  4. Edit the homepage and in the widgets section, select “Add Widgets”
  5. Scroll all the way down and select “Work to do”
