Assignments flagged as missing in grade book lock students out

Hi Scott, 


I just want to make sure we're speaking the same language. You're specifically talking about Assessments, right? The online quizzes? 


In my experience students can still work on Assignments with our without Online Submissions enabled even after they are marked Missing or even after they are overdue. 


Just want to make sure I'm clear on where you're hitting the issue. 


Thanks!

This is one of the more frustrating features of the assessment set. Most of our teachers gave up on using any Blackbaud assessments because of the trouble it is to use it. I have lost track of the number of times one of my students gets disconnected from his wifi, and is then locked out of completing the assessment when his connection is restored, so he has to contact me to manually reopen it, which I might not see until the next day, so then I have to go extend the time he has to complete the assignment, and if I already marked it missing, I have to go remove the missing...you get the picture. It all adds a level of trouble that doesn't make it worth while to use by many of the teachers in my school, yet here we are, paying our support fees for something that is not fully used because of faulty design decisions made someplace in the past. Argh! One possible request: When setting up an assessment, could there be a checkbox added that says something like : Allow student to continue after being disconnected without teacher intervention? Another LMS (Powerschool) does not have and trouble letting a student back in to an assessment after being disconnected. It remembers where he was and the answers that had already been entered. I was never contacted by any student who needed my permission to complete any assessment. With the current increase in doing work on line from home, the requests I get to open assessments back up after disconnection has increased dramatically.
