In short

How do I chase overdue McGraw Hill Connect assignments?

WebRun checks every McGraw Hill Connect assignment each Monday for students who are past the due date and posts a chase digest to Telegram. It also drafts a Twilio text nudge for each overdue student, so the instructor can review and send it, keeping homework completion on track without manual roster checks.

  • Overdue assignments surface every Monday instead of at grading time
  • Instructors get a ready to send nudge for every overdue student
  • Students who submit late are dropped from the list automatically

Questions, answered

Will it text students without approval?

No. WebRun only drafts the nudge in Twilio. The instructor reviews and sends it, nothing reaches a student automatically.

Does it apply a grade penalty?

No. WebRun only reports what's overdue. Any grading decision or late penalty is applied by the instructor in Connect.

What if a student submits late but before the nudge is sent?

It checks submission status fresh each run, so anyone who submits before the instructor sends the nudge is dropped from that list automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
