  5. You will be asked if you want to “edit this activity." If you are simply adjusting text within the activity (assignment), this will not cause any interruptions for your course or data collection efforts. However, if you are removing components (e.g., assignment submission options) in the activity (assignment), students will lose previously submitted content. If you would like to proceed, click Edit.

    Edits made to your course activity (assignment) through the steps above are ONLY for the course section where you made the edit. If you teach multiple sections of the same course (e.g., multiple sections of M680 in this example), you will have to repeat these steps for every section.

    If you wish to make these edits permanent in the future, please contact the Associate Dean for Accreditation to make sure that future activities (assignments) in your course have been properly edited.
