These are important because they tell students the window they have to do the exam in. Not sure what these are? Here\u00a0is a quick summary:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Start Date: the first moment a student can start the quiz.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Due Date: when students need to have the test done by.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">End Date: the last moment a student can click the start quiz button.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Please have both a Due Date and an End Date<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, even if they are the same time. The due date is what Brightspace uses to fill out all the calendar and scheduling tools that students rely on. The Due Date won\u2019t close down the quiz once that date passes though. The End D<\/span>ate will close the quiz to new submissions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also,<\/span><b> make sure your quiz is NOT hidden<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> from students. If it\u2019s hidden, even if the dates are correct, students will still not be able to see the assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Recommended vs. Enforced Time Limits<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13246 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2020\/10\/clock-1426625_640.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"183\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2020\/10\/clock-1426625_640.png 617w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2020\/10\/clock-1426625_640-105x109.png 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2020\/10\/clock-1426625_640-317x329.png 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2020\/10\/clock-1426625_640-423x439.png 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2020\/10\/clock-1426625_640-32x32.png 32w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,183px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do you want to have a time limit on your exam? If so, make sure you select the right <em>type<\/em> of time limit. There are two types of time limits; Recommended and Enforced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Recommended Time Limit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> A suggested time for how long you think students should take on the quiz. Once the time limit is reached, the student can still continue working on their assessment with no penalty. (This is\u00a0the option you select if you don&#8217;t want a time limit on your quiz.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Enforced Time Limit: <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You are requiring students to complete the assessment before the time limit runs out.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>If you are using an enforced time limit<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> you must provide a grace period for students. This gives students a small buffer window to submit their quiz after the time limit but before any penalties occur. The students are not aware of this grace period. You will then need to decide what happens to students after they have exceeded their time limit and grace period. You can:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Allow the student to continue working (this will still mark that they exceeded the time limit on their quiz).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prevent the student from making further changes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Allow the student to continue working, but automatically score the attempt as zero after the deadline.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Special Access (Extending Time\/Dates)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12982 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2020\/10\/file-307626_640.png\" alt=\"File\" width=\"155\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2020\/10\/file-307626_640.png 640w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2020\/10\/file-307626_640-105x96.png 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2020\/10\/file-307626_640-317x291.png 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2020\/10\/file-307626_640-423x388.png 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/266\/2020\/10\/file-307626_640-634x581.png 634w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 155px) 100vw, 155px\" \/>If you have students who need accommodations you\u2019ll need to give them Special Access to the quiz. Luckily, Brightspace offers a convenient place where you can give students a different time limit, different due dates, or even add extra attempts. This Special Access setup is at the bottom of the Restrictions tab when you are setting up your exam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> We recommend selecting the student(s) who are receiving Special Access first and then adjusting the dates, timing, and\/or attempts for their accommodation. If the page refreshes before you have saved this, it will reset anything you have changed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here is a link to a document that explains how to use this feature: <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1yKZRg7jGBIa4ZoX_32zT29yekYrc7En7KOoi4ttIqu8\/edit#heading=h.ec2n9kzed1i5\">Click Here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Scenarios<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Have more questions? Check out these following scenarios to see answers to some common questions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What happens when a student reaches the end of an enforced time limit?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It depends on how you have it set. There are three different things that could happen, and they will only happen after the grace period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have it set to allow the student to continue working, they will see their time limit run out, but they will be able to continue working. Their exam will be marked as having run over the time limit though.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have it set to prevent the student from making further changes, it will record answers the student gave before the end of grace period. Anything entered after the grace period is not recorded.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have it set to allow the student to continue working, but automatically score the attempt as zero after the extended deadline, the student will receive a zero if they go past the deadline. If they submit the exam before the grace period and extended deadline, there will be no penalties. Once they go past the deadline, they will receive a zero on the quiz, even if they got questions correct.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What happens if a student starts an exam right before the end time with an enforced time limit?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have an end date set to November 13th at 1 pm and a student starts the quiz on November 13th at 12:59 pm, they will still have the full amount of time to take the exam. However, you can view when students started and ended a quiz when you look at the Completion Summary of the quiz.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What happens when a student reaches the end of a recommended time limit?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nothing! A recommended time limit does not apply any penalties to a students exam if they exceed it. If you choose to not show the clock with a recommended time limit, they won\u2019t see a count down clock.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What happens if you only have a due date set, but not an end date?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you set the due date for October 13th at 1pm, but do not have an end date, students can still take the quiz after the due date. For example, a student will be able to take that quiz on October 15th. The quiz will be marked as late, but there are no automatic penalties for them taking the quiz late. If you want to prevent students from taking the quiz after the due date, make sure to set an end date too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What if a student needs an extension due to internet\/power loss?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Follow the steps and add that student to Special Access. You can give them a new due\/end date or give them a second attempt if they lost power while taking the exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When do you want students to start the quiz?
