Awarding students extra time (all quals - quizzes only)

A Centre Admin can now apply extra time at a student level for assessments taken directly in FI learn. This will apply the extra time % across all quizzes on the site.

Follow the steps below to add students extra time.

Step 1

Navigate to a users profile by searching for the user and clicking on the hyperlinked name.

 

Step 2

Once in the user profile click edit (fig 1) and scroll down to the 'Admin only' section (fig 2) you will see a box titled 'Quiz extra time %' (fig 3).

FIG 2 & FIG 3

 

Step 3

Add in the extra time as a % that the student is allowed. E.g for 25% extra time type in 25. Click update profile and you will be returned to the saved profile.

Once you have clicked to update the profile the extra time will be applied to all timed assessments that this user takes in FI learn.

There are some other functions that you might find useful when adding extra time to students. The first one is to view the total time awarded to any specific student in any specific assessment.

Step 1

Navigate to the course and assessment that you would like to view. Different users have different dashboard configurations but you should be able to search by a course name or access the course catalogue.

 

Step 2

Once you have clicked to access the required assessment you will see an admin menu on the left of the screen. Navigate to 'Quiz administration' and select 'User overrides' (Fig 4)

This will bring up a list of all users who have been granted extra time at a profile level (Fig 5) The time shown is the total time for that user.

It is also possible to adjust the time limit at an assessment level by accessing the user override as detailed above.

Step 1

Follow all of the steps above to access the details of the extra time awarded.

 

Step 2

In this area you are able to:

3. You can change the time limit at a user level but not for this specific quiz. To do this check the 'Lock time limit override' and click save.
