Un-submit

Students will sometimes click the 'submit' button on an activity before they have completed all of the questions. When they do this, we try to warn them by having this message pop up:

However, sometimes they will proceed to submit nonetheless, intentionally or unintentionally. Other times, you may want to allow a student to re-do an activity that does not allow edits after submission or multiple attempts.

Whatever the reason, you can "un-submit" the student's work.

Steps

  1. Make sure you are in "Totals" view on the Responses tab

  2. Click on the student's name, or on the Totals cell next to their name. This will bring up a side panel

  3. Click on the triple dots next to their score, and select the option "Undo Submission"

Troubleshooting:

🙋🏻‍♀️ How can I undo submission for students if there is a time limit on the activity?

You can still undo submission for students if there is a time limit set. When you undo submission, students will see the timer confirmation screen again, and the timer will restart for them. They will not lose any of their responses.

🙋🏿‍♂️ Can I allow a student to redo a timed activity?

If you remove a student's responses on an activity with a time limit, students will see the timer confirmation screen again, and the timer will restart for them. Their old responses will be cleared, and they can redo the activity.
