Timed quiz

[davej]

I want to create a quiz that is available for a 24 hour period and requires students to create and submit a pdf response, but only allow each student 2 hours to open and complete the quiz.  Is something like this possible?

Hello there, @davej ...

Yup...this sounds completely possible.  I'm not sure if you are using current Classic Quizzes or New Quizzes, but here's what to do in both interfaces:

• Classic Quizzes
  • Set your time limit for 120 minutes, and set your availability dates/times for a 24-hour time frame.  See this Guide for instructions on how to do both of these things: What options can I set in a quiz? - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
  • Create a file-upload question in your quiz.  See this Guide: How do I create a File Upload quiz question? - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
• New Quizzes
  • Set your availability dates/times for a 24-hour time frame.  See this Guide: How do I create a quiz using New Quizzes? - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
  • Set your time limit for the quiz.  See this Guide: How do I manage settings for a quiz in New Quizzes... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
  • Create a file-upload question in your quiz: How do I create a File Upload question in New Quiz... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

Here are also a couple of short video tutorials that will walk you through much of what I've described above, but the Guides I linked above will give you more detail.

Hope this helps a bit.  Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
