In the case of group work, how do I lock a group - stop it from being editable but keep it viewable - at the deadline?
In cases of large cohorts where every student is a Group Administrator, it would be very time-consuming for a departmental staff member to change settings on an individual basis. So instead, the convenor or programme leader arranges for either a departmental MyPortfolio Administrator (if there is one) or otherwise somebody from ELE, to use a csv file to change students' role from Administrator to Member, and to check the Settings of the Group page so that after the deadline it is no longer editable by anyone with a Member role, but Assuming students have a Member role in their Group (i.e. they're not Administrators), then a staff Group Administrator should do the following to ensure that the Group pages will cease to be editable at that date and time, but the Members can continue to view and present their work:
- Go to the Group's About Page (by clicking the Group name wherever it appears as a link).
- Click Settings; a page of Group settings displays.
- Scroll down to the Editability settings.
- Check, and if necessary edit, the End Date settings to reflect your deadline.
- If you make change, click Save Group (and you may wish to double check again).
In the case of students submitting individual work, how can I apply a deadline to the group accepting submissions?
