[ARCHIVED] Quizzes at different times for different students?

[huxleys]

Can different students take a quiz at different times?

Hi Stephen,

Yes the quizzes are available 24/7 during the window that you make them accessible by the students.  Do you mean that you would like to limit the time windows that different groups of students can access a given quiz?

Thanks Scott -

Yes.  We sent all our students home from the Univ. of San Francisco, so some are in China, Thailand, India, etc.  They are 12-15 hours ahead.  So they will have to take the exam at a different time than the students who are here (or within 5 hours of the Pacific Time zone).  I don't want them to have access to the exam when the students here take it, only when I set it for a time compatible with them (e.g 5AM our time would be 7PM for the students 14 hours ahead).

Hi Stephen,

In that case today is your lucky day.   You can set differing access dates and times for individual students and or sections.  I thought it might also be helpful to you to read a question response regarding how Canvas handles time zones written by community member  @James : https://community.canvaslms.com/message/178466-re-can-a-time-zone-be-set-within-canvas?commentID=178...
