New Year Dates
This plugin helps teachers efficiently roll their courses forward to a new academic year by automatically updating all date-dependent activities and assignments. The plugin is highly configurable with term-based settings that work for any school calendar system worldwide. It intelligently detects whether you're moving a course to the same term in a new year (Term 1 to Term 1) or converting between terms (Term 1 to Term 2), and automatically adjusts dates accordingly. Teachers can preview all changes before applying them, ensuring accuracy and control over the date update process.
