Accommodations can be set at the course level from the Classlist. From the Classlist, you can grant the following accommodations:

  • Timing – Modify the time limit for all quizzes as a multiplier of the original quiz time (i.e. 1.5x) or extra time (i.e. number of minutes)
  • Control (Allowing right clicks) – Enable right-clicks for all quizzes. This is a common requirement for students that use assistive technology to access their quizzes.

NOTE: Accommodations set in the Classlist will automatically be applied to all quizzes for the selected student(s). 

To set an accommodation for all quizzes:

 

1. Log in to Brightspace

2. Go to your module. (Click the waffle icon on the navbar and find your module on the list)

3. In the navbar, click Class Organisation > Classlist.
