You can set a start date and due date for any activity in Snorkl. This helps you manage when students can access and complete their work — perfect for pacing assignments or scheduling ahead of class time.
What Start and Due Dates Do
Start Date: The activity stays hidden from the student view until the set start date and time — once that time arrives, it automatically opens and becomes visible.
Due Date: Students can still complete and submit after the due date, but their work will appear as “_ hours” or “_ days late” on the teacher side.
You can also clear either date if you want the activity to stay open indefinitely.
💡 Tip: If you want students to stop working entirely after a certain time, change the activity Status to Inactive.
