Quiz needs "suggested time limit" with timer that allows overage

[eesmith]

I would like to see that the quizzes have the added feature of a suggested time limit, with the timer, yet allow students to go over the time instead of immediately closing. 

For an asynchronous course, this would be beneficial for instructors to:

1. Allow students to complete all required assessment items.
2. Indicate to instructors when quizzes take longer than expected to complete - 
   1. If all students took more time to complete, then the instructor needs to self-evaluate and determine if the instruction was not adequate.
   2. If one student continually goes over, the instructor can reach out to the student and offer supportive learning strategies and help.

I have attached a screenshot of another LMS that allows for this feature.

I hope this will help!  Good luck with your idea creation!

Thank you.  I spent a good time yesterday searching how to do this.
