[Using Sakai] Decouple open/start dates for assignments?

[Jim Mezzanotte]

Hi Gregory,

I don't think there's a way to change that functionality in the
Assignments tool--i.e., you can't make an assignment visible to
students but not yet available for submission.

If you're using the FCKEditor, and it's configured for the "Entity
Picker" option (https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/SAKDEV/Entity+Picker),
you could send a "begin assignment" alert as an announcement that has
a link to the assignment.

Best,
Jim Mezzanotte

> I have some assignments that are assigned on one day, due on another, but I would like to make them visible from the start of the course, but still alert students when they should start working on them. Early visibility makes the course structure and progress through assignments more visible, and allows student sto start earlier if they wish.
