How do I create an assessment for a student with a disability who qualifies for extended time?

You may need to create copies of your tests and quizzes to accommodate a differently-abled students. These instructions will walk you through the process.

  1. Create a duplicate assessment
    1. In the Control Panel, select Course Tools > Tests, Surveys and Pools
    2. Select Tests
    3. Find the test you need to copy, and use its drop-down menu to select Copy; you will now see a second copy of that test (e.g, make a copy of Quiz 1, and it will be called Quiz 1(1) )
  2. Deploy the test in your course in the same location the original quiz is deployed
    1. Example: if the original Quiz 1 is deployed in Course Content > Module 1, deploy the copy in Module 1 as well
      1. Select Create Assessment > Test
      2. Choose the new copy from the list of tests that have not yet been deployed, then Submit
  3. Edit the Test (rename it if need be, e.g., "Quiz 1 Extra Time", change the duration, etc.)
  4. Use Adaptive Release to make the test available only to the student who need extra time
    1. From the test's drop-down menu select Adaptive Release
    2. In the Membership area, enter the student's UserID in the "Username" field, click Submit

Remember that this will create another column in your Grade Center. You should instruct the differently-abled student to NOT take the original quiz, so that he or she does not end up with 2 grades!
