Moderate New Quizzes in Canvas
Sometimes students need accommodations for extra time, more attempts or to reopen an already submitted quiz. Here are instructions on how to do that in New Quizzes.
Moderate assessment under the "Moderate" tab
In New Quizzes, click the "Moderate" tab to go to the settings for moderating the quiz.

After opening Moderation Settings, you will see a table of the students assigned to the quiz. The table also contains the number of attempts, the score, the time they've spent on the quiz, link to a log of activities, active accommodations and a Moderate button. This page explains several of the functions, but if you're missing something, you can read the Canvas Commmunity guide material on moderating New Quizzes .
Total time adjustments under Accommodations
You can find the total time adjustments per student in the column Accommodations. It is the sum of the adjustment done in this quiz and the adjustments made for all quiz in the same Canvas room.

Moderate the time adjustments for all quiz
You can add time adjustments for single students that will apply for all New Quiz in the same Canvas room. You can therefore change the moderation settings to give a student extra writing time both in existing New Quiz and in future New Quiz.
To moderate these settings, find the correct student in the table and press the edit-button in the "Accommodations" column (the pen icon).
The options you can choose are:
- "None", which doesn't add any extra time.
- "Give additional time", to add additional time to the assessment attempt. Select the amount of time in units of minutes and hours.
- "Remove time limit (unlimited)", to remove the time limit entirely.
- “Time limit multiplier", to choose a factor to multiply with the time limit.
The chosen time adjustment will be added to the adjustment made for each quiz.
Moderate adjustments for the current quiz
You can make adjustments for single students that only applies for the current quiz. To do som find the student you want to moderate [1] and click the "Moderate"button [2].

A side tray with the alternatives for moderation will appear. The alternatives are:
- "Reopen assessment". Only visible if the student has made at least one attempt.
- "Additional attempts". Standard is 0.
- "Time adjustments". Standard is None.
These alternatives for moderation are explained in more details below.
Reopen an assessment for one student
To reopen the student's most recent assessment attempt, click the "Reopen" button.

A warning message will be displayed to inform you that the student can resume their assessment attempt from its previous position. That is, with their previous answers included and with the remaining time on the timer [1]. To accept and reopen the assessment, click the "Reopen" button [2].

Manage number of attempts
The Moderate panel displays the number of allowed attempts as per the assessment settings [1].
To give the student additional attempts on the assessment, type a number or use the arrow buttons in the "Additional Attempts" field [2].

Adjust Time Settings
To adjust the time settings for the student, select an option in the "Time adjustments" menu.

The options you can choose are:
- "None", which doesn't add any extra time.
- "Give additional time", to add additional time to the assessment attempt. Select the amount of time in units of minutes and hours.
- "Remove time limit (unlimited)", to remove the time limit entirely.
The chosen time adjustment will be added to the adjustment made for all quiz.
Manually Submit In-Progress Attempts
If students are currently working on an assessment the number of in-progress attempts is displayed above the table [1]. Click the "attempts" link [2] to see which students haven't submitted the quiz and to get the option to submit it manually.

A pop-up with the title Attempts in Progress displays a checklist with the "Students" [1] who haven't submitted their quiz. You can manually submit quizzes for all students in the list. All students are checked by default. If you do not want to submit a student's assessment manually, deselect the checkbox for the student [2].
To manually submit the assessment for the selected students, click the "Submit Manually" button [3].
