Eric SilvaIf you’ve ever wanted to extend the timer or change the availability dates for a specific student, then Blackboard’s Test Availability Exceptions feature is an easy way to complete this task. This feature is also a good workaround to reopen exams for students who were absent.
With Test Availability Exceptions, you can adjust the following settings:
- Number of Attempts
- Timer and Auto Submit
- Availability
- Force Completion
These settings can be assigned by selecting specific students or by using a group in Blackboard.
Instructions
Below is an instruction sheet I created for the Online Learning department at my university.
- From the content area, right-click on the chevron icon next to the quiz you want to edit.
- Click on Edit the Test Options.
- Scroll down to the Test Availability Exceptions section.
- Click Add User or Group.
- Locate the student and select the checkbox next to the student’s name, click Submit.
- Adjust the settings for the student.
- Click Submit.
