Users in wrong time zone receive a message that may be inaccurate in the user's situation (default email information is only relevant to users located in the server time zone).

Deliberatively marking this as a bug (not feature request) as feature is currently unusable / recommended disabled for all fully-online courses, where most users are taking course from different time zones (off campus).

Technical bug fix needed

1. Stopgap bug fix: indicate Time zone in email message

Two options for better UX (TBD/to be created)

1. Feature request: email notification message defaults to a designated time zone

2. Feature request: email notification reflects user time zone

According to SAK-40544, the assignment reminder email is sent 24 hours before the assignment is due in the server time zone. The user's time zone is not currently consulted.

To clarify: The email is properly sent 24 hours before the deadline but can provide confusing information as the user may be located in a different time zone.

Users on a different time zone are confused about the actual deadline, which can cause users to submit their work late (defeats the purpose of the feature). This is especially a problem in cases where an entire in-person cohort is located separate time zone than the server.
