We are interested in learning about our students’ assignment submission activities, such as when our students tend to work on assignments and further whether adjusting assignments due date can better facilitate students assignment submission activities. We harvested students assignment submissions data being generated in A&S Spring 2015 Canvas courses during the week of April 26-May 4. In order to examine whether there is a relationship between assignments’ due dates and students’ assignment submissions, we also gathered information of the corresponding assignments’ due dates in the A&S Spring 2015 courses. The infograph demonstrates students’ assignment submissions activity by hours during the week, and the time of students assignment submissions in relation to the assignment due dates. The graph reveals that in that particular week, there was an assignment submission peak time during each day, and the peak time always corresponded to a due date, in other words, majority students tend to submit their assignments right at the due date/time.
