Introduction:
Accommodations can be set at the course level from the Classlist. From the Classlist, you can grant the following accommodations:
- Timing – Modify the time limit for all quizzes as a multiplier of the original quiz time (i.e. 1.5x) or extra time (i.e. number of minutes)
- Control (Allowing right clicks) – Enable right-clicks for all quizzes. This is a common requirement for students that use assistive technology to access their quizzes.
Note: Accommodations set in the Classlist will automatically be applied to all quizzes for the selected student(s). If you want to adjust quiz access dates (due dates, availability dates) or the number of attempts allowed, you will need to
customize special access settings for each individual quiz.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- 1. Access your course in Brightspace.
- 2. Click on Tools > Classlist.
- 3. Locate the student you want to set an accommodation for and click the down arrow next to the student's name.
- 4. From the Edit Accommodations pop-up window, choose one or more of the following options:
- Timing: Select Modify Time Limit to set a time limit for the accommodation. Choose from the following options:
- Multiplier of original quiz time: This option will multiply the enforced time limit for a quiz by the number you provide. (For example, enter 1.5 for the multiplier to give the student time and a half to complete the quiz).
- Extra time: This option allows you to add a specific number of minutes to the enforced time limit you set.
- 5. Click Save.
- 6. You will now see an accommodation icon next to the student’s name in the Classlist.
