POSTED: Nov. 20, 2024

 
We are happy to announce the release of a new feature in Canvas New Quizzes: the ability to add extra time to a student’s in-progress quiz attempt!

Instructors can now extend the time for students who are actively taking a quiz. This new feature allows you accommodate students who may need extra time without interrupting their workflow or requiring them to take a second quiz attempt. 
 

How to add the additional time:

  1. In the Course Navigation Bar, click on the Quizzes link and then locate the quiz you want to manage. 
     

    Canvas Quizzes menu link


     

  2. Find the quiz you need to edit [1]. Click on the three vertical dots [2] to view the options menu and select "Build link [3]." 
     

    Canvas Quiz Options menu - Build


     

  3. Click on the Moderate tab at the top of the page.
