    Gradebook
  • Select the show advanced settings checkbox to display all of the editor options.
  • Several of the common access settings can be very useful when used on a assessment. In particular:
    • Select the Do not allow users to view this item to hide the assessment which is a “work-in progress”.
    • This setting is also useful for quizzes that are being used as “question banks” or for future quizzes that should not yet be made available to students.
    • The Team Access option is useful for distributing multiple versions of a test (i.e. two versions of a test – one for every other seat in a computer lab, etc.).
    • The Password field supports proctored testing through the process of 1) password protecting an assessment and 2) providing the password to each designated proctor. The student would be required to schedule and meet with the proctor to take the test. At test time, the proctor would provide the password and observe the student during the test to ensure testing rules are followed (e.g. time limit, use of notes, etc.).
  • The Date Enabled and Date Diabled settings are useful for limiting the “window of time” that an assessment is available. In combination with the “Time Limit” and “Auto-submit” options available on the Submissions tab, this approach is very useful for take-home quizzes, to decrease the amount of time available for unwanted student collaboration or sharing of printed copies of the quiz.
