Default Time Zone
Online assignments at 爆走黑料 are aligned with the Eastern Standard Time zone. Throughout the course duration, all dates, deadlines, and times are presented in alignment with the Eastern Standard Time zone. Most assignments have a deadline set for the conclusion of their designated week at precisely 11:59 pm, one minute prior to midnight.
In Canvas, users have the option to specify their time zone in their User Settings, although this choice does not impact the course's time zone. If users have configured a specific time zone in their User Settings, all course-related dates and times will be displayed in their local time. However, by hovering over the date and time, users can also view the corresponding course date and time in the Eastern Standard Time zone.
How to change your time zone from the EST default:
- In Global Navigation, click on your Profile.
- Click the Settings link.
- Click Edit Settings.
- In the Time Zone drop-down menu, select a new time zone for your Canvas account.
- Click the Update Settings button.
