CANVAS exams for students in several time zones

[tom_mallouk]

I'll be teaching online in the Fall semester and will have students in many time zones.  I'd like the students to take my exams at the same local time (say 6 pm) in their respective time zones.  Is there a way to make that happen in CANVAS?

Hi  @tom_mallouk  Welcome to the Canvas Community!

Your students can go into their personal settings and set their time zone for their locations. This guide will describe https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10622-4212717410

Hi Kelley.  Thanks for replying, but I am asking a different question.  Let's say I want to give an exam at 4 pm on a Friday in Philadelphia.  That is 4 am on Saturday for a student in China, which is rather inconvenient for that poor student.  I would like the student in China to take the exam at 4 pm Friday (local time), which would be 4 am on Friday in Philadelphia.  I'd like my students in Philadelphia to take the exam 12 hours later.  Is there a way to set that up, so that a student takes the exam at 4 pm local time, regardless of the time zone they are in?
