TO avoid the problematic "overdue" column, please add a feature where a teacher can make "Submissions Disabled" the default setting for a course.
I agree! There are many schools that are using Schoology that are NOT 1:1 schools, so more items need "Submissions Disabled". Being able to set that as the default would be wonderful!
YES! I love that we CAN enable submissions, but for the assignments that are done in class or on paper, making this easier would be great.
There are multiple threads with this request. Schoology folks, please combine them!
This thread has been active for three years, and there's still no response or action from Schoology. The fact that we as a school cannot set our own default to disable digital submissions is a constant source of frustration when parents continually receive overdue notifications on assignments that were completed. It puts us in a very difficult situation, is difficult to explain to parents, and makes Schoology look bad. As we review our technology services this year, this will be a major consideration in our review of whether Schoology meets our needs and whether we should adopt a different LMS.
This means extra steps for every single one of the assignments a teacher creates. (Mine are currently having to both disable assignments in most cases AND change the due TIME to 8:00 am.)
