Schoology Tip of the Week
We have completed an entire grading period and many teachers are unpublishing work from prior weeks for the purpose of organizing. This makes those materials unavailable for students to go back and review materials as needed. You might want to lock or disable submissions instead of unpublishing them. That way, students who want to review a previously taught topic, can.
Note: you can't lock Assessments, you will have to disable those to prevent students from submitting.
