Install DueBoard

DueBoard is on the Chrome Web Store. Click the button, then Add to Chrome. It works in Chrome, Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers (Brave, Arc, Opera).

Install by hand (testers)

Testers who try a version before it reaches the store add it by hand. It takes about two minutes, and you don't need to know anything about code.

Using Firefox? DueBoard for Firefox is coming to Firefox Add-ons, where it installs with one click. Until then, testers can follow the Firefox guide.

1. Download DueBoard

   Go to the latest release. Under Assets, click the file named dueboard-…-chrome.zip to download it.

   Don't pick "Source code". That's for developers and won't install.

   Go to the download

2. Unzip it and put the folder somewhere safe

   • Mac: double-click the zip in Downloads.
   • Windows: right-click the zip → Extract All… → Extract.

   You get a folder named like dueboard-1.0.2-chrome. Move it somewhere you won't clean up, such as your Documents folder. Chrome runs DueBoard from this folder, so if you delete it, DueBoard stops working.

   Documents

   dueboard-1.0.2-chrome choose this one in step 5

   manifest.json

   assets

   dashboard.html

   …

3. Open the extensions page and turn on Developer mode

   Type chrome://extensions in the address bar and press Enter. In Edge, type edge://extensions.

   Turn on Developer mode in the top-right corner. In Edge, the switch is in the left sidebar.

   

4. Click Load unpacked

   Three new buttons appear. Click Load unpacked.

   

5. Choose the DueBoard folder

   In the window that opens, go to the folder from step 2 (the one that has manifest.json directly inside it). Select the folder and click Select. On a Mac the button may say Open.

   DueBoard now appears in your list of extensions.

   

6. Pin it to your toolbar

   Click the puzzle-piece icon to the right of the address bar, then click the pin next to DueBoard. Now its icon is always one click away.

7. Sign in to Brightspace and run the first sync

   Click the DueBoard icon, then Open full dashboard. The welcome page asks for one thing: sign in to Brightspace in this browser. Then come back and click Start sync.

   That's it. You don't sign in to Gradescope, Pearson or WileyPLUS separately. DueBoard finds the platforms your courses use from Brightspace.

   The first time DueBoard finds a homework platform such as WileyPLUS or ALEKS in your courses, a bar asks to allow reading its due dates. Click Allow. From then on, DueBoard attempts to read homework in the background without opening tabs or windows. Pages that cannot be read invisibly stay unavailable; existing dates are kept. Sign in yourself if needed, then click Refresh.
