[ARCHIVED] Moving an assignment from one quarter to another.

[brian_donahue1]

I gave an assignment and it was due for quarter 1.  I only received a select few were actually turned in.  I would like to re-assign this for quarter 2 but I can't.  When I go to edit it, it says "Some settings have been disabled because the assignment is in a closed grading period." 

Even if I duplicate the assignment it carries over the due dates.  Essentially I cannot give the assignment again.  I've tried importing in back into my class. I've duplicated it.  I'm stuck.

Hey, Brian.

Reach out to your Canvas admin, who can help you get that assignment adjusted!

Hi Brian,

I have experienced the same problem.

Contacting admin is not a great solution (or one at all) in my opinion.

A colleague of mine helped to find a solution for me that may also work for you.

In my situation, we have a Sandbox course to save assignments. I had a copy of the closed assignment in the unpublished Sandbox course. I was able to change the due date in the unpublished Sandbox course and then import to my current class.

I hope this can help you out.

This behavior is in my opinion clearly indicative of 'buggy' software, where 'buggy' is a euphemism for poorly designed.

Good luck.
