Did you know Special Access<\/strong> is an option available in the Quizzes tool that allows the instructor to grant learners special accommodations? <\/p>\n

Special Access allows the instructor to assign specific learners a different set of quiz availability dates, late submission properties, and\/or time limits. The instructor can change Start, End, and Due dates; the \"Recommended Time Limit\" and \"Enforced Time Limit\" timing settings; and the number of attempts allowed for a quiz to provide allowances for different needs of learners.<\/p>\n
