Accommodations
As a wrap up to our Canvas Quizzes Quick Tip theme over the last month, we are sharing instructions for how to set up makeup quizzes for individual students. Pay special attention to Steps 4-5 in the Reopen the Quiz section to avoid the issue of disappearing grades!
The Quick Tip quiz saga continues, and our trilogy concludes this week with a focus on Canvas New Quizzes.
Last week, we took a comparative view of Classic vs. New Quizzes in Canvas. This week, we’re taking a deeper dive into the Classic Quiz tool, including how to create the quiz, configure the settings and accommodations, preview and publish, and handle grading and makeups.
Course accessibility is a time-sensitive activity. Throughout the course's development, you can take small steps to make course materials accessible, so when a student needs accommodation, it is available. Captioning videos can even help students who do not have an accommodation, for instance, if they do not know how to spell a term, cannot have the volume on, or simply learn better by reading.
The words accessibility and accommodations are often used when discussing how to make online content available to every person in the class. You may want to file this information away for future reference since students can request SAS accommodations anytime during the semester.
