How Tests will be Administered for Online Courses
- All Online tests and final exams will be administered Online by faculty.
- Accommodations will apply in the Online environment.
- Assistive technology accommodations: Students who use assistive technology (screen readers, screen magnifiers, etc.) should have access to these technologies on their home computers.
- Students should communicate with faculty prior to any test to ensure accommodations are in place.
Class Notes Accommodation
When students who receive the “supplemental class notes” accommodation are enrolled in Online classes:
- Notes are applicable for Online classes that are Synchronous (specific meeting times) but not recorded.
- Asynchronous classes and Synchronous classes that are recorded will not need class notes.
Extending Test Time in Canvas: Faculty Resources
Students who have extended time on tests will need extended time for Online tests.
- Canvas provides instructions on how to give extended test time to one or more students.
- Quiz availability dates still apply when moderating a quiz. Remember to adjust the Until date. If the Until date, specified in the quiz settings for the class, passes when students are taking a quiz with extended time, the quiz auto-submits even if the student’s time extension has not expired.
- Visit CTL’s FAQ page, “How do I extend the time for a student to take the quiz?” for step-by-step instructions.
For 24/7 assistance, contact Canvas Support at 1-877-257-9780 or by live online chat session. For more information, visit the DS Faculty Resources page.
Calculating Extended Time
- Extended time is based on the amount of time allowed all students, multiplied by the extended time accommodation.
Creating Accessible Online Materials: Faculty Resources
- CTL and Disability Services offer guidance for faculty.
