Exams can be constructed by selecting 'learning module' as the assignment type, and then selecting 'test mode'. You can enter in a specific amount of time students will have, and if you'd like, a window in which they will have to complete the assignment. We are currently testing both commercial and within -system proctoring options and will be communicating more shortly.
Q: Is it possible to give an hour time limit on the exam, but the exam can be taken at any time on a particular day for a student?
A: Yes, absolutely. In order to do this set the (start date/due date during the full window you'd like students to be able to take the exam. Then enter in the time limit. Once a student proceeds off of the initial instruction slide of the learning module their timer will start; at the end of the expired time they will be prevented from accessing their exam any more (even if the window the assignment is open is still in duration).
Pooling questions together is also a possibility to ensure that students don’t have the same exam.
Q: Some of my students have extended time accommodations. Can this be accounted for?
A: Yes, please just send us (at questhelp@austin.utexas.edu) the unique the student is in, the students' eids, and how much more time (1.5x, 2x, etc) each is to be granted. We will ensure the students receive this accommodation for all of your Quest assignments this semester
Proctoring Tools
Quest in house (under development): Snapshots of a proctoring video feed will be offered to instructors to uphold academic integrity concerns. Please email questhelp@austin.utexas.edu for more information and to make suggestions on this front.
Pooling questions together is also a possibility to ensure that students don’t have the same exam. Approved by UT information security office (iso):
Protorio (I’m told the school of nursing has used this extensively, a contact for more info is Sean White)
