I work with faculty to support the implementation of student accommodation plans. An accommodation provided to students in a higher education classroom include splitting a quiz over two days. One solution to this is to duplicate the quiz twice, split it into two sections, assign to a single student, and set a due date for each part. However, I am looking for information about an alternative method.
The faculty member used the "Assign" section to assign the quiz separately to a single student, creating a due date and until date that reflected a two-day testing window rather than a single class period (ex: Available from: March 6 @ 9:30 am, Until: March 7 @ 4:00 pm, Due: March 7 @ 4:00 pm).
The quiz, however, had a time limit for the rest of the students. Not only does this student get an extension as part of their accommodations, but they are obviously taking more time with it being split over two days. Classic Quizzes does not allow an instructor to remove the time limit, so the only solution was to give the student extended time in the Moderate section. Because the student was doing two different sessions over 24 hours apart, the instructor had to give an extension of 2,000 minutes on each attempt (one attempt only). The exam proctor is manually stopping the student at the end of the first day so the student can finish the remainder of the exam on the second day.
The question is: Is there any other way to split a Classic Quiz to be administered over two days? This current approach is not ideal and requires having the exam proctored. Perhaps copying the exam and splitting it into two parts is the best solution, but ideally there is a way to do this within the original quiz assigned to the rest of the class.
Thank you @katzm5 for including a description of your dilemma and also the solutions you have explored. If I were in the faculty member's situation and committed to Classic Quizzes, I think your initial solution is the best: create a second quiz using the same questions, limit that quiz for the student receiving the accommodations, and excuse that student from taking the original quiz. Then the quiz settings can be focused on what will help that student complete the quiz successfully. Their classmates can take the quiz as originally designed.
I encourage you to check out New Quizzes. One of the options that tool has is to build on last attempt, which means that the questions the student answered in their prior attempt will be prefilled when the student begins their next attempt. It also allows the time limit to be removed for individual students.
