New Quizzes: Audible quiz timer alerts

0 Likes
(3)

Several of my students have complained that the quiz ended and they had no idea they were even close to being out of time!

In a real classroom setting, I would remind the students when they are near end of time and should start wrapping up their work. It would be nice to have the option for the quiz to "beep" when there is 1 minute (or X minutes) left in the quiz.

This would also be helpful since the visible quiz timer seems to stick to the top of the page for some students, so when working on later questions in the quiz the time remaining is not salient.

This would be very helpful for my classes. I think allowing me and/or each student to set the number and timing of the "beeps" would be ideal.

Many of our math teachers would prefer this over just the banner that pops up, as students aren't even looking at the screen while working their math problems on paper. Sound alerts or having to push an "OK" notification to remove the banner would be helpful.

This would be incredibly helpful to students in Economics classes as well.
