How to Extend New WileyPLUS Assignment Dates in D2L

If a student needs an extension on a WileyPLUS assignment, you will need to set both dates and restrictions for them on the link to the assignment in D2L.

1. First, in Content, find the assignment you wish to extend, and click the action triangle next to it. Choose Edit Properties In-place.
   
   
   
   
2. You will now see that there is an area to "Add dates and restrictions". Click this area.
   
   
   
   
3. Add a Start Date, Due Date, and End Date for this student's extension. Click the Update button to save.
   Keep in mind the differences between these three dates:
   • A Start Date is the date/time at which a student will be able to access the item.
   • A Due Date is the date/time the item will be due for the student. Past this date, the item is still accessible; however it may be marked as "Late" in the gradebook.
   • An End Date is the date/time at which the item will no longer be accessible to the student.
     
     
     
     
     
4. Then go back to the Release Conditions section and click Create. This is where you will be granting specific students access to the extended dates.
   
   
   
   
5. The Create a Release Condition window will pop up. Click the dropdown menu for Condition Type, and choose Group enrollment.
   
   
   
   

6. Then under Condition Details, click the Group dropdown menu. You'll see the "Special Access" group listed, and below that a list of all the students in the course. Choose the student who needs the assignment extension. Click Create. If this is the only student who needs an extension on this assignment, you are done!

   
   
   Steps to follow if more than one student needs an extension

   Note: if more than one student needs an assignment extension they will need to be given the same time frame to submit the missed assignment.

7. If another student in your course needs an extension on the same assignment, repeat Step 6 above and choose the next student. Remember their Start, End, and Due Dates will have to be the same as the first student.
8. Now that there are two students who have special access to this item, you will need to make one change before you are finished.
9. In Content under the item, you will see the two students listed, and see that the Release Condition has a setting that "All conditions must be met". IMPORTANT: You must click this dropdown and choose Any condition must be met instead. Click Update.
   NOTE: Whenever more than one student is receiving an extension on a specific WileyPLUS assignment, the setting "Any condition must be met" has to be checked for the release condition.
   
   
   
   
10. Now when you see the WileyPLUS assignment in Content, you will see the due date, start date, end date, the students who are receiving the extension, and the condition that "any condition must be met". The extension has now been set up and completed!
