This feature allows instructors to provide students accommodations using the Classlist tool. The accommodations currently available are granting users more time to complete quizzes, and the ability to bypass right-click restrictions in quizzes. The right-click restriction is the ability for users to right-click in the quiz while taking it. These accommodations apply to all quiz activities for the student.

  2. Select Classlist from the drop-down menu.

  3. Locate the student you wish to provide accommodations to and select the down arrow beside their name. Select Edit Accommodations. You can use the Search For bar to search for the specific student.
