The Automatic Deadline feature in Assignment Deadlines Pro allows you to set dynamic due dates based on when each student enrolls in the course. This is especially useful for self-paced or rolling enrollment courses, ensuring each learner gets a fair and personalized deadline.
Here’s how it works:
- Enable the Assignment Deadline feature from the Assignment Settings section.
- Select the Automatic option as your deadline type.
- Set the number of days (e.g., 5 days) after enrollment when the assignment should be due.
- The plugin will automatically calculate and assign the deadline for each student based on their individual enrollment date.
For example: If a student enrolls on August 1st and the deadline is set for 5 days, their assignment will be due on August 6th.
