Please change the default deadline time from midnight to 5 pm

Dear D2L,

My institution uses your product for content delivery. I would like to re-think your default deadline time of midnight for assignments and quizzes. As you're likely aware users typically adopt default parameters in programs. There is ample evidence that midnight deadlines do not promote healthy work life balance in students. Therefore, please consider changing the default from midnight to something more reasonable like 5 pm. I am aware that users can change the deadline time but I have found at my own institution that instructors use the default simply because they cannot be bothered to change it.

Thank you!
