If you have students who require time accommodations for tests and quizzes and you use the quiz tool in Brightspace some new functionality will be welcomed. In the February update to Brightspace, you’ll be able to specify specific rules about how much time a student is allowed for all quizzes through the class list. Instead of specifying special access in each quiz, you can create a rule for the student that they can have 1.5 or 2x (or whatever your student is allowed) time on all quizzes for the term. This change should take place on Feb. 17th in our production environment and we’ll get it turned on within a day of the update.

If you do create any special access rules and have rules in place through the course list, you will see a warning alerting you to the possible conflict.

More information about this feature is available on the Brightspace Community.
