How do I manage Course Pacing for a student?

How do I manage Course Pacing for a student?

If enabled by your institution, you can use Course Pacing to define a pace in which students must complete course tasks. This allows students with different start dates to have the same time frame in which they must complete course tasks.

Notes:

  • The Course Pacing feature preview is in active development. To provide direct feedback about this feature, please post in the Course Pacing user group.
  • Course Pacing must be enabled in the course settings.
  • If the Course Pacing feature preview is not available in your course, the feature has not been enabled by your institution.
  • A Course Pace has to be created before you can manage individual students.

We are not semester based, and occasionally need to extend the overall course-end-date beyond what it was set to originally.  Is there a method by which we could do this and have all remaining course-pacing deadlines be recalulated?

We are in the same situation as @KBMassingill and would love to see a way for a 1-month course extension to recalculate the remaining suggested due dates. 

We have self-paced workshops where this would be great for, but only if it "started" upon a student's enrollment date and then the time limit would be based on a certain number of days, and not bound by a specific date...curious if the date piece could be ONE of the options for how course pacing is set, and not just the only option.
