Can ALA Assignments Be Reset?
Yes, ALA assignments can be reset, but the ability to do so depends on your role and the specific platform configuration.
How to Reset an ALA Assignment (Instructor Steps)
- Navigate to your **course** in the platform.
- Go to the **Gradebook** or **Assignment Manager**.
- Locate the student's ALA assignment entry.
- Select the student's name or the assignment row.
- Look for the **Reset** or **Clear Attempt** option.
- Confirm the reset action when prompted.
Note: Resetting an assignment will clear the student's progress and score. This action **may not be reversible**.
Important Considerations
- Adaptive data may be lost — Resetting clears the student's learning path history for that assignment.
- Deadlines still apply — A reset does not automatically extend the assignment due date.
- Multiple resets — Some configurations may limit how many times an assignment can be reset per student.
- LMS sync — If your course is integrated with an LMS (e.g., Canvas, Blackboard, D2L), a grade passback update may be triggered after the reset.
When Should You Reset an ALA Assignment?
Consider resetting when:
- A student experienced a **technical issue** during their attempt.
- The assignment was completed under **incorrect settings**.
- The student needs a **second attempt** per institutional policy.
