My organization has implemented the pages feature introduced in late 2016. The first page gives an introduction to the week's content and lists the outcomes and objectives for that lesson. The second page houses all the content and activities/assignments for the week. This breaks up the content, which allows the brain to organize and digest the information.
When the course ends, the second page is locked.
This keeps students from posting late work and viewing feedback on their last assignment. Extending the end date will have implications, specifically producing inaccurate official records. Therefore, we would love to have all the pages unlocked so that our students will have the ability to submit late, access feedback, and review past content.
