[ARCHIVED] Lock New Quizzes

[ferram2]

I want to be able to lock the quiz after my class takes it so that students who are absent cannot open the quiz. 

I know this is possible in the old version of quizzes, but I can't for the life of me find out how to do it for the new quizzes.

 @ferram2 ‌ have you found out how to lock a New Quiz? I have this same question.

Thanks,

Curt

Hi Michael,

You should be able to set the new quizzes to have due dates and be available from and to like other quizzes.  If you go into assignments, find the quiz you want and press the three dots to the right hand side, then go into more options the ability to change the availability is there at the bottom.

Hope this helps!

You have described this feature which pertains to ALL students who are taking the quiz. 

The feature that the above user has mentioned works best for those students that are absent. As a teacher, you do not want a student who is absent to log onto Canvas and be able to take the quiz remotely at the same time as the other students are taking theirs in class. Having the lock feature allowed the teacher to manually unlock ONLY those students who were present in their class. The absent students would then be locked out and could NOT attempt to take it while they are at home. 

By setting the dates, that will lock ALL students out or allow ALL students access. 

Could you make a quiz and then assign it to those students present that day--- yes, but it is MUCH more cumbersome and takes a lot of time out of class as students arrive. 

The feature to lock and manually unlock quizzes in Canvas new quizzes is absolutely essential.
