Timer and Until Dates in New Quizzes

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can confirm if a change has occurred with the functionality of the Timer in New Quizzes compared to how it worked in Classic Quizzes.

In Classic, the "Until" date/time in a Classic Quiz was a hard deadline.

Example: A quiz has a 60 minute time limit and availability until 1pm. The student started the quiz at 12:55pm. The system automatically submits the quiz attempt when the availability ends at 1pm - ignoring the 55 minutes remaining in the student's attempt time.

In New Quizzes, my testing indicates that the "Until" date/time is not a hard deadline.

Example: A quiz has a 60 minute time limit and availability until 1pm. The student started the quiz at 12:55pm. They are able to work on the quiz for the full 60 minutes and submit at 1:55pm, 55 minutes after the end of the quiz availability.

Is my analysis correct? If so, is this the planned functionality of the New Quizzes tool or could it change back to the format from Classic Quizzes?

Thanks,

Graeme
