Hello from the IT-FITS team!<\/p>\n

With only a few days until Finals Week, here’s a handy tip about a useful Sakai feature. The Tests & Quizzes functionality is generally underused by faculty members even though it is a useful way of controlling the test-taking environment. Timed exams are one way to control the accessibility and functionality of online test-taking and as we race to Finals Week, it is only fitting to provide you with this tip.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open Sakai<\/li>\n
  2. Click Tests & Quizzes (found on the left-hand side Menu).<\/li>\n
  3. Name your ‘Assessment’ then choose ‘Assessment Type’; set this to ‘Timed’<\/li>\n
  4. Click Settings<\/li>\n
  5. Based on your preferences, set the start and end times of the assessment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: this can also work for essay-prompts, file downloads, etc. Therefore, students can have access to specific information that you provide.<\/p>\n

    There are so many more functions and ways to personalize (and even create test types on Sakai!) and we encourage you to explore these next semester as well!<\/p>\n

    Have a wonderful Winter Break and we will see you next semester!<\/p>\n
