The Automatic Zero feature:
Allows a score of zero (0) to be automatically applied to unsubmitted learner activities after the due date passes. Applying the Automatic Zero feature eliminates the need for instructors to manually set missing submissions to zero. Additionally, learners receive a more accurate view of their grade calculations for individual activities and for the overall course.
Supported submissions:
- Include file and text-based assignments, quizzes, and other tools. All activities must have grade associations.
- Automatic Zero applies to both individual and group assignments and respects any exemptions and release conditions set for an activity.
- Automatic Zero is triggered within one minute of the due date and is based on local time zones for both instructors and learners. The feature follows the same rules as existing due dates.
How it works
The Automatic Zero functionality is off by default. Instructors can select between system-added and manually-entered zero scores. The Automatic Zero for Missing Submissions check box appears in the Grade Calculations area of Grade Settings when the Automatic Zero function is turned on.
