Important Notes:
- Before You Begin: Ensure the quiz is published before you add extra attempts or time.
- Extra Attempts: You can only add an extra attempt if the student has already made an attempt. You cannot delete the submission or reset the quiz.
- 'Until' Date: Note that the 'Until' date will override any extra time allowed, so adjust the due date accordingly.
- Time Limit Settings: If there's no option to add extra time, the quiz may not be set with a time limit. To grant extra time, the quiz must be timed.
- Assignment Cards: It is recommended to add another assignment card instead of replacing the current one to avoid losing submissions in the gradebook.
-
Proctoring Services: If using a proctoring service, ensure that accommodations are also provided in their system.
