@hesspe I did a little bit of testing.  You can turn off the timer while the quiz is in progress and it will remain visible for students already in the exam and when it runs out the quiz will submit. However I couldn't re-open an attempt until it has been submitted and it does need to be done per student, unless anyone else knows of a way to do it in bulk but I couldnt see an obvious way to do it.  So if you did need to do the whole cohort it could take a little bit of time to reopen it for everyone but it is possible. You could always advise the students that they will get a 2-5 minute break after the exam, followed by an extra ?? minutes in the exam due to the error. Changing the available from time will stop anyone getting a head start while you sort the reopening process. Its not ideal but hopefully a solution for some, while we wait for canvas to sort out a real solution! ... View more

I have found a workaround for this.  Allocate the students that need the unplanned extra time their own time window in set up and you can adjust this as much as you need too. After the official time limit has passed, toggle the time limit off and reopen the exam for the students you need to give extra time too.  They will lose the countdown clock but will be able to continue with the exam until the "until" date and time has passed. ...

Agree, this would be very useful.  One final mark is fine but students should get to see all feedback and annotations from all markers. ... View more

I also like to use the "allow liking" option in Discussion Boards, I put an end date on the board so students cant post but they can still like a post that is already there.  Below is an example of what it looks like: ... View more

This has been a problem in our modules for a while.  What I do in my courses is create a page in the flow with a link to the quiz that opens a new tab/window.  I mention in the instructions of the quiz that it has opened in a new tab/window and once they have completed the quiz to close the window to return to the content. Not ideal but it does allow students to remain in the flow of the course and not lose their place. Next and previous buttons would be a lot easier. ... View more

I agree, we have a lot of "test your knowledge" type quizzes at the end of each week and it would be nice to include essay questions in these with model answers given as feedback instead of making the quizzes without essay questions as they would need to be marked. ... View more

You could always add your tooltip as suggested in the post and underneath in the HTML editor add this: <p style="display: none;" aria-hidden="false">TOOLTIP TEXT GOES HERE</p> A screen reader will read that but it is not visible on the page. ... View more

Yes we would really love this feature too. ... View more

I don't mind it being listed in the calendar, actually I find that quite useful but the email notifications are confusing to students, especially if you want them to use the self sign up feature instead of just turning up to the zoom session as they have been emailed the link.  ... View more

I am having the exact same problem. The storyline file worked in June. Now it doesn’t and yet nothing in the file has been changed. But the font is full of symbols and squares or the files just don’t load at all.  This seems to be such a common error for us with storyline and canvas, I feel like we may need to abandon it.  Such a shame as we have created some really beautiful content in storyline.  ...

Yes, I would very much love this.  Trying to do a roman numeral list in New Quizzes is impossible and its such a simple feature!! ... View more

I have tried this and it works a treat.  I also added this little div at the top to hide the Due and Points line from students. <div style="background-color: white; height: 35px; width: 100%; margin: -50px 0 0 0;">Text in here if you want or leave blank</div> ... View more
