Admins can adapt existing assignments into Explorations. This document shows how to do that. There are three sample assignments, each with an explanation of how the assignment can be represented as an Exploration.

Sample 1 - Collecting Video Evidence and facilitating Feedback to Peers
>> Admin creates Exploration
In creating an Exploration, an Admin's first step is providing high-level details about the Exploration. For this - as well as for defining the rest of the Exploration's components - the original assignment gives Admins all the information needed.
Note: Active Dates control the amount of time an Exploration is displayed as "active" throughout the site. Since the deadline is November 10th, this is used as the second Active Date of the Exploration. The system automatically displays the Exploration for a period of time after the end-date to make it easily accessible.
