Great questions around amnesty week. I have seen instructors provide a “grace period” on all assignments of one type. For example, one writing instructor gave a 5 day grace period for weekly writing assignments that students were encouraged to do revisions on after seeing feedback. The instructor did not offer the revision opportunity to students who turned in the assignment outside of the grace period, but did give the student credit for the assignment.

Another idea was that students could turn in any assignments of a certain type during an amnesty week. One instructor had weekly problem sets for a math class and students were allowed to turn in missing problem sets during amnesty week.

In terms of monitoring late submissions in D2L, if you have the “Updates” widget on your homepage you can see when you have new submissions for assignments, discussions, and quizzes that require your attention.

Here is a link to instructions on how to add a widget to your homepage. /online/faculty/technical/creating-and-activating-your-course-homepage/
