DL Tip of the Week - Setting Test Availability Exceptions on Exams

This week’s tip is about "Setting Test Availability Exceptions on Exams".

When deploying a test in Blackboard, instructors may create exceptions to the already established settings. This may be used to provide an exception to individual or groups of students. Exceptions may be created for: number of attempts, test timer, auto submit, availability dates, and force completion. Exceptions may be set up at any time.

Setting test availability exceptions may be handy if you have been recently notified about students with an accommodation plan requiring double or triple the time you have set. You no longer have to create an extra test and deal with the extra column in your grade center.
