How do I set restrictions for a quiz?)

Aangepast op

With the Restrictions tab you can decide:

  • whether a quiz is displayed to students and/or has a deadline (status, deadline and availability);
  • whether there are release conditions attached to the quiz; 
  • whether the quiz has a time limit (restrictions);
  • whether students need to enter a password before they can start on the quiz and/or can only do the quiz when they are working from a certain IP-address;
  • if there is a time frame in which the students need to complete the quiz;
  • if you want to allow (certain) students to get special access to the quiz (for example extra time for a student with a visual disability).
  • Go to Course Tools in the navbar of your course.
  • Click Quizzes. You will land on the quiz homepage.
  • Click the arrow next to the title of the quiz you want to edit. 
  • Click Edit.
  • Go to Restrictions (second tab).

  2. Tick Due Date to set a deadline and specify the date and time:
    • The quiz remains visible and accessible after the due date has passed.
    • With the intelligent agent you can send a notification to the students about a due date that is coming up. 
    • The quiz will appear in the Calendar of your students.
  3. At Availability, set a start and/or end date if you only want to give students access to the quiz for a limited time. 
  4. Tick Display in Calendar if you want the specified date to appear in the calendar of both your students and yourself.  
  5. At Additional Release Conditions you can identify requirements that your students need to meet in order for the quiz to become available to them. A quiz can contain multiple release conditions (for example: student only get access to the quiz after having submitted assignment 1 and/or finishing the checklist of week 1 completely).

  1. At Optional Advanced Restrictions, click the fold-out arrow next to the quiz if you want to set up a password and/or IP-restriction. Only users that enter the correct password and/or permitted IP-address can get access to the quiz:
    • At Password fill in a password. 
    • Click Add new IP Range to identify which IP-addresses are permitted.  
  2. At Timing you can choose to set a time limit for the quiz and/or identify whether the quiz disappears after the time limit has passed. The Recommended Time Limit does not affect the termination of the quiz or the score. At Enforced Time Limit you can ensure the quiz will be terminated or that a late submission is automatically assessed with a score of zero:
    • Recommend: specify the time limit of the quiz (students will see this at the start of the quiz) and identify whether you want a clock to appear in the screen of your students. 
    • Enforced: specify the time limit of the quiz and identify a Grace Period if you want to (the amount of minutes after the time limit has passed in which students can still change their answers and can still submit their quiz without it being marked late). The Grace Period can be zero minutes or more. After the Grace Period has passed, all submission attempts that come after will be marked as late. You can also identify what the consequences are for submitting passed the time limit:  
      • Students can continue working on it.
      • Students can no longer make changes. 
      • Students can continue working but the attempt will automatically marked as zero after the deadline has passed.
  3. With Special Access you can determine whether there are participants with special access to the quiz.
  4. Double-check your settings and click Save and Close.

Date restriction and release conditions are automatically transferred when the quiz becomes available in Content. In Content, if you adjust the date restrictions and/or release conditions at an item of the type quiz (via Edit or in the item itself), these changes will also apply to the quiz. 

When you copy a quiz, Brightspace will also copy Special Access settings for students. Keep this in mind when a student does have special access for one test, but not for another. If this is the case, then you can reverse the steps in step 3 of the copied quiz.
