Article No.: 000075584
Product:
Learn SaaS
Release:
SaaS
Description:
The Gradebook in an ULTRA Course is displaying a red message for gradable items that are not late after changing the due date, and this red message is confusing students
Steps to Repeat:
  1. Login to Blackboard SaaS as an Administrator
  2. Go to System Admin > Courses > Create Course > New
  3. Create an Ultra Course
  4. Access the Course
  5. Enroll Students into the course
  6. Create an Assignment with the following settings:
    1. Due Date (+30 minutes from now)
    2. Unlimited Attempt
    3. Timer = 60 minutes which is the default value
  7. As a Student user, access the course and submit the assignment
  8. As an Instructor, change the assignment's due date to an earlier date/time
  9. Note a pop up appears with the message:
    The item is now past due. Zeros will be assigned to past due work.
    Change the date?
    
  10. As the Student user, access the Gradebook
  11. Note the attempt shows with this message in red color:
    1 attempt submitted (1 Late)
    
  12. As an Instructor, change the assignment's due date to the original or future date/time
    1 attempt submitted (0 Late)
    
  13. As the Student user, access the Gradebook

Observed Behavior:
The Status for the attempt is displaying in red color with the following message

1 attempt submitted (0 Late)


Expected Behavior:
The Status for the attempt will show 1 attempt submitted in the normal dark gray color since the submit date/time is less than the due date/time
