New quizzes: restrict availability during certain hours?

My course has a number of "mini-tests" designed to encourage students to get started with their textbook reading on time. If they manage to score 95% on such a test (after a limited number of trials) they get a small bonus addition to their exam result. Many students like this, but it has been observed that some students take these mini-tests during lectures, thus defeating the purpose of the tests and potentially distracting them from learning during lectures.

What I would like to do in response is to restrict the availability of the tests (which are set up as New Quizzes in Canvas) to certain hours during the day such that the students are prevented from taking the tests during lecture time. Can that be done?

Hi Dan,

While restricting when quizzes can be taken is offered within Canvas, it does not get to the granularity I think you're looking for.  Here's a document‌ about all the options you have when you're setting up a quiz. https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10152-415241475
