This article explains how teachers can access activity settings available in their learning management system.
Activity Settings
Activity settings allow you to individualize how students experience an activity. This feature includes options such as visibility, scoring, and more. For example, changing the visibility of an activity can support students who are overwhelmed by the amount of content or can help with student pacing. Activity settings also allow you to make adjustments to assignment weights, the number of attempts a student has to complete the activity, and how the score is displayed.
For more information on making specific activity adjustments, please see the Customizing Course Content and Personalization Options resources.
IMPORTANT: Content changes may affect your students' pacing.
