<\/p>\nThe NEW Manage Dates tool is a great time saver. In the past, when content was copied from a previous semester, the start and\/or end dates had to be changed one at a time by going into each Quiz, Dropbox Folder, Discussion Forum or Topic, Grade Item, or Content Topic. Now you can simply access the Manage Dates tool and make changes to any of these objects from one page. You can choose to open each item and adjust the dates as needed. Or, you can use the Offset availability dates option to change all dates by a specified number of days. For example, if this year\u2019s dates are calculated at being 176 days different than those used last semester, simply offset the current dates by that number.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Offset availability dates option is also useful when teaching multiple sections that meet on different days of the week. For example, let\u2019s say you have a section that meets on Monday\/Wednesday. You can change the dates so they reflect this semester\u2019s schedule. Then, copy the content to the section that meets on Tuesday\/Thursday and offset the dates by one day. The system will automatically change all of the start and end dates.
