[To Do] New Quizzes: show Available from date in students' To-do list rather than Due date
At the moment, in students' to-do list in Canvas, all assignment types, including quizzes, show the due date. This makes sense for most assignment types, but for quizzes, where the due date indicates when students can't take the quiz, rather than when they can, this is misleading.
Instead, for quizzes, it would be helpful either to show the Available from date (where this has been set), or at least to make clear that the date shown is a 'complete your quiz before' date rather than a 'do your quiz at' date.
Currently the onscreen text reads:
Coming up
View calendar-
New Quizzes Assignment
100 points • 5 Jun at 23:59
which doesn't make clear that the date is an end-point. Even:
Coming up
View calendar-
New Quizzes Assignment
100 points
Complete before 5 Jun at 23:59
would be more helpful. This latter would be applicable for all assignment types, if it is not possible to disaggregate a quiz assignment from other types and differentially display data.
