Providing students with accommodations 

If a student is eligible for extended time accommodations, it is the instructor's responsibility to provide that extra time for any tests or quizzes in Canvas. The quizzes tool offers an accessibility feature called Quiz Moderation, which allows the opportunity to allot extra time and/or extra attempts on a quiz for students who may need it.

Directions:

• Go to the quiz and click Moderate This Quiz. The Moderate Quiz page shows what students submitted, their score, and how long they took on the quiz.
  
  • Attempt - the number of times the student submitted (not started!) the quiz.
  • Time - how long the student spent on the quiz.
  • Score - the portion of the score that Canvas automatically calculates.
  • Arrows/pencils - give the student another attempt.
    
• Find the student you want to give extra time or submission to and click the pencil next to their name. 
• On the Student Extensions window:

• • Give the student a number of extra attempts. Check Manually unlock the quiz for the next attempt if the quiz end date has passed. 
  • Give the student extra time for every attempt. 
• Save.
