How does publishing a Prework activity work?
Prework activity is published asynchronously. This means that any student can access the Prework activity at time within the Open Period.
For Example
The Open Period you have set the following dates:
Start Date: 01 Jan 2020 12:00 am
End Date: 07 Jan 2020 11:59 pm
This means that students will be able to view the Prework betweek Jan 1-7, 2020 at any time. After the End Date (Jan 7, 2020), students will no longer be able to access the content of this activity.
Add more materials to an Ongoing Prework
Even published, you can still add more materials to the Prework. Here's how:
Go the the Prework Dashboard
Click the "Prework Material" button on the top-right corner of the materials table, then upload the additional files.
After saving, this will trigger an email that is sent to the students telling them that a new material was added to the Prework activity.
