Can a student complete an SLS assignment that is past the deadline?
Yes. If a teacher extends the deadline for only students who have not completed, any submissions from previous students will be gone too. So, teacher can allow students to complete assignment without extending the deadline. On the monitoring page, assignment will be recorded as "overdue".
Can other teachers monitor my class assignments?
If they are added as co-teachers in your class or group, other teachers can help to monitor your assignments. Please refer to the slide below for the functions of the different teacher roles in SLS.
