Tips and Tricks (Advanced)-Give learner additional time for a timed exam

Give learner additional time for a timed exam

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript explains how to grant extra time on timed exams through user-level settings. Exams have a fixed duration for all students (e.g., 2 hours), but ADA accommodations are applied per user via a time multiplier (commonly 1.5x), giving that user more time on every exam (2 hours becomes 3). It also shows how to grant additional, one-off time for a specific exam: locate the user, open their course, go to the User Exam tab, and either add extra minutes to the running clock (e.g., +30 minutes) or extend the exam by setting a later expiration time.
