Adding a time modifier to online quizzes and exams on Canvas

[AE89]

I am an instructor reaching out for the Canvas team to allow for time modifiers in multiples of 1, 1.5 or 2. 

Both for regular Canvas and new quizzes I used to be able to just add in a time modifier as per the Canvas instructions (such as 1.5x or 2x) and that would apply for any exam or quiz a student took throughout the entire course. (Please see screenshot attached).

I'm not sure why that is no longer the case . -- it only gives an option for inputting exact number of minutes. 

It's a huge problem because also it no longer carries over to any quiz exam given in the course. I'm teaching approximately 170 students this semester and it does a disservice to accommodating our students. 

It used to be that any time modifiers out in would apply to all exams or quizzes that a particular student took. 

Can you see if Canvas would be willing to reinstate this option?

Hi @AE89,

For New Quizzes, you need to be sure you're following the How do I add accommodations for a student in New Q... - Instructure Community - 1092 guide (clicking on the student name to adjust the "acommodation" rather than the pencil to modderate a single quiz.  I believe the interface for this did change, perhaps confusingly (though more consistent with the Classic Quizzes interface), in the last few months but the functionality is definitely there still.

For classic quizzes, there has never been an option to make accommodations for all quizzes in a single course.  In my opinion, this is one of the major benefits of New Quizzes for faculty.

I hope this info helps!
