If students require accommodations that remain consistent across all assessments, you can set a date or time modifier for them just once at the course level. Due dates and assessment time windows are adjustable on a per-student basis. When accommodations are set in the course, the students’ modified requirements will be automatically applied to all future assigned assessments.
Note:
- You can update course accommodations anytime, but changes won’t affect assessments where grades have already been returned.
- You can always override a course accommodation by editing accommodations at the assessment level.
Customizing the due date or time to complete all assigned assessments
- Navigate to the Course students page.
- Find a student by using the search bar or by locating them in the student list, and select the checkbox on the far left of the student’s name. You may select one or many students.
- To select all students, use the checkbox at the top of the Name column. A label will appear to let you know all students on that page have been selected, and offer you the option to select all students in the course.
- Choose Accommodations from the taskbar at the bottom of the page. A panel will appear containing accommodation settings for the student(s). If you have many students selected, the panel will offer you the option to view the complete list. Changes made will apply to all selected students.
- You can modify all due dates or time limits for a student or a group of students. Click the checkbox beside the accommodation you wish to set. Accommodations can be switched on or off anytime by clicking on the checkbox and then clicking Save at the bottom of the panel. Any changes will apply to all selected students.
- Select Modify all due dates if you want to extend the deadline for the student(s) to submit and still be considered on time. This setting will apply an extension for all assigned assessments. Select the number of days, hours, or minutes for the extension. Any changes will apply to all selected students.
- Select Modify all time limits if you want to extend the timer for a student in all Timed assessments. The time adjustments dropdown offers various ways to modify the time:
- Multiply time limit: Grant the student a multiplier of the original assessment time (e.g. 1.5 times). If a multiplier leads to a remainder in seconds, Crowdmark will round up to the nearest minute.
- Extra time: Grant the student a set amount of extra time (in minutes).
- Until the due date: Extend the timer until the due date for the assessment. This function effectively removes the limitations of a Timed assessment for that student.
- Once your changes have been made, click Save. You will see the modified settings appear for individual students in the student list for the assessment.
Confirming when course accommodation is applied
To find out whether an accommodation is applied at the course or assessment level, look for a blue dot next to the accommodation in the Assessment students table.
If a course accommodation is in effect for a student, you’ll see a notification in the assessment accommodations panel. You can always override a course accommodation by editing at the assessment level.
What students see
If a student has either a course or assessment accommodation, they will see the revised due date and/or time when they open the assessment.
