Continuing our exploration of new functionality and features gained in our annual Fall Moodle update, today’s #UPTechTip shows how to allow multiple due dates for Assignment activities via the use of Overrides.

Overrides work well for Group activities that may require a variety of deadlines for project milestones or presentation dates. Using Moodle Groups is a powerful tool to facilitate collaborative work, set-up learning Wikis, or foster better online discussions.
