<div style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<p>Embedded Answer questions (or CLOZE questions) are a way of designing multiple choice, short answers and numerical answers that are inserted within a passage of text. They are useful when you want to have a single question have multiple sub-parts and when it makes better sense to have answer boxes or dropdowns within sentences.</p>
</div>
<p>The questions are written by including a specific syntax to code each type of question that gets translated by the system.</p>

Questions should be dropped from the quiz by zeroing their score; or a duplicate of the quiz should be made and students moved to the second copy.</span></span></p>
<p>If you must edit Cloze questions, ensure that you <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>DO NOT</strong></span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>add or delete sub-questions within a question;</li>
<li>change the order of the questions in the text; or</li>
<li>change their question type (numerical, short-answer, multiple choice)</li>
</ul>
<p>We also recommend that you make any changes using the HTML text editor instead of the RTF editor in eClass to ensure that you do not accidentally inject new formats or behaviours into the Cloze question that you are modifying. Please contact eClass support if you have any questions about making edits to existing CLOZE questions.</p>

</div>
<p></p>
<p>This article outlines how instructors can set up exam accommodations for students who are taking fully remote exams. Instructors should also ensure they are familiar with the <strong><a href="https://www.ualberta.ca/current-students/accessibility-resources/exam/updated-accommodations-instructors.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accommodation guidelines provided by the Academic Success Centre</a></strong>. In addition,<span> instructors working with student accommodations, should also remember to </span><b>create their class test definitions in <a href="https://clock.uss.ualberta.ca/ClockWork/user/instructor/login.aspx">ClockWork's Instructor Services Portal</a> 5 days before your scheduled exam and no later than the middle of March for end-of-term exams</b><span>.</span></p>
<p>This guide covers the different setups for accommodations across a range of <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/425/1/delivering-remote-exams" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>different delivery methods available for delivering remote exams</strong></a>. Instructors may also need to consult <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/Knowledgebase/Article/View/465/1/creating-custom-versions-of-exams-for-audio-accommodations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Creating Custom Versions of Exams for Audio Accommodations</a> if that is required. <br /><br /></p>
<div style="display: table; border-collapse: separate; table margin: 5px; padding: 7px; border: 1px solid #000; background-color: #f8f9fa; font-size: 10pt;">

</div>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br /><a id="student-info"></a>Sharing Activities or Resources with Specific Students or Groups</strong></span></p>
<p>When a student requires access to a different format of an exam, for example, an audio file version, these can be shared with students through eClass. The <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/175/13/embedding-videos-in-eclass" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>general guidelines for uploading media files</strong></a> apply but instructors should note that audio files <strong>will not embed and playback</strong> <strong>if the option to prevent users from downloading is applied</strong>. If this is a requirement, it is possible to request the Alternate Formats (AF) team to produce .mp4 exports with only audio that do function when that setting is checked.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong></strong><span style="color: #000000;">To <strong>Add restriction</strong>, go to the activity of your choice and click on the <strong>Settings</strong> tab at the top of that page. Then scroll down to <strong>Restrict Access</strong>.<br /></span><strong><br /><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/exam-accoms-00.png" alt="" width="600" /><br /><br /></strong><span style="color: #000000;">Files, resources, or activities on eClass can have access restrictions applied to limit their use to specific time ranges and to specific users. </span><strong>It is important to note when restricting access to toggle the eyeball closed on any restriction that could reveal private information to the course at large:<br /><br /></strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/exam-accoms-1.png" alt="" width="725" height="253" /></p>
<p>When more than a few students require access to a resource or activity, it can save time to <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/149/14/setting-up-groups" target="_blank" rel="noopener">add all the students into a group</a> through the course participants list and use that group as a criterion for restricting access.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="overrides"></a>Adding Time or Attempt Overrides for Quizzes or Assignments</strong></span></p>
<p>eClass quizzes (and assignments) have a built-in mechanism to change the delivery mechanism for particular users. The article <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/114/15/modifying-quiz-settings-for-select-users-overrides" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Modifying Quiz Settings for Select Users</strong></a><strong> </strong>has more details but it is a straightforward process to provide a different exam duration or open/close time for specific users (or groups.)</p>
<p><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/exam-accoms-2.png" alt="" width="725" height="400" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="different-sem-lengths"></a>Setting Up SEM Monitoring for Different Periods</strong></span></p>
<p>When using <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/446/1/smart-exam-monitor---for-instructors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smart Exam Monitor</a> to have students provide a record of their academic honesty during remote exams, instructors can set up alternate exam durations in a couple of ways.</p>
<p>The easiest is to use the same SEM session for everyone and simply extend the monitoring duration to a time that encompasses the longest required time multiplier. The control of an individual's quiz duration is then handled by their quiz attempts directly in eClass or in ExamLock (see below).</p>
<p>If required (for example if all the students need to <strong>FINISH </strong>their exam attempts at the same time), it is possible to set up multiple SEM tools in a course and restrict access to them (see above for restricting access).</p>
<p><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/elx3-1.png" alt="" width="600" height="481" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>A last point about monitoring is that in case a student encounters technical challenges or need additional time during a session, they are always afforded an alert that their monitoring session is going to close when the duration is going to expire and have an option to extend their monitoring session to provide a complete record of their exam.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="examlock-override"></a>Setting Up Individual Student Time Overrides when Using ExamLock</strong></span> </p>
<p>When delivering exams through <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/375/1/using-examlock-to-promote-integrity-in-eclass-quizzes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ExamLock</a>, it is possible to add additional time to each student requiring it by pre-populating the list of students and entering different exam durations. This is equally possible after the exam has already started as ExamLock checks for time extensions every 3 minutes and alerts the student if any have been added. This would be the method to use if a student encounters technical issues requiring additional exam time. </p>
<ol>
<li>Click on the ExamLock activity in eClass and then find the required exam based on its session code and click on the "Monitor" button (far right side of screen). </li>
<li>Click on 'Import Users' icon near the top-right of the screen to 'Import Users from eClass'. <br /><br /><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/el-import-users-v2.png" alt="Highlighting the Import Users button at the top of an ExamLock session activity" width="501" height="141" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>You will now see a list of students and can search for a particular student's name (tip: make sure that "Rows per page" at the bottom-right of the webpage is set to "All" and then search quickly with <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>ctrl/cmd+f</strong></span> and start entering the students name in the box that appears in the top right of the screen). <br /><br /><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/eltimeadd-v2.png" alt="Going through the list of students and clicking on the clock icon to add more time." width="1121" height="195" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>Once you find the student, click on the clock image to the right to add additional time. In the pop-up window, enter the amount of additional time in minutes that this student will get for this attempt. For example: a student with a 1.5x time accommodation on a 60-minute exam would get an additional 30 minutes. In the box you would put 30 and click "Save".<br /><br /><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/eltimeadd2-v2.png" alt="Adding thirty minutes of extra time on an Exam Lock attempt and clicking Save." width="493" height="223" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>If the clock icon now displays +## the time has successfully been added. <br /><br /><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/eltimeadd3-v2.png" alt="The clock icon for the student now says plus thirty, signifying thirty minutes added to the student's time." width="1190" height="187" /><br /><br /></li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="multiple-examlocks"></a>Setting Up Multiple ExamLock Sessions</strong></span></p>
<p>If numerous accommodations are required for the same quiz, it is also possible to create multiple ExamLock sessions: one exam for the intended duration, another for 1.5x the intended duration, and another for 2.0x the intended duration (assuming all 3 are required). <br />In ExamLock you can create as many sessions from a compatible eClass quiz as you need and each would have their own 5-letter session code that could be shared with the different students. <br /><br /></p>
<p><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/elx3-v2.png" alt="Showing multiple sessions for an Exam Lock exam as well as the plus button to add a new session." width="1336" height="371" /> <br /><br /></p>

<p>For students who require special conditions for taking a quiz or submitting an assignment, instructors can create a user or group override that changes the settings only for those particular users.</p>
<p>Overrides can be useful in cases where students need a bit longer to complete a quiz if, for example, a student has a computer crash while completing a quiz and needs an extension to the quiz time limit to complete it fairly; or they require additional time to complete an assignment due to an illness. Overrides are also helpful for instructors who need to apply <strong>time accommodations</strong> for accessibility purposes during exams.</p>
<p>Group overrides can be useful if you have a multi-section course with different submission dates or times for each different cohort.</p>
<p>Note that for group overrides: You must already have groups created in the course to use the group override functionality.</p>
<p>Adding a user or group override allows you to keep the same quiz or assignment and add as many different overrides as required for particular students. All other students complete the quiz or assignment with the original quiz settings.</p>
<p><strong>Note that if your entire class is affected, change the Timing or Availability by extending BOTH the duration and closing time or due date in the tool settings.</strong></p>

<ol>
<li>Enter your course and click on the quiz or assignment you would like to create an override for. Any existing overrides are alreay displayed on the quiz main page.</li>
<li>Then click on the <strong>More</strong> tab, then on <strong>Overrides</strong>. <br /><br /><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quiz_overrides_1.png" alt="" width="700" height="304" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>Select the override type you need, then click on <strong>Add user override </strong>or<strong> Add group override</strong>.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quiz_overrides_3.png" alt="" width="617" height="253" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>Select a user or group in your course:<br /><br /><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quiz_overrides_2.png" alt="" width="746" height="500" /></li>
<li>Make changes to the quiz delivery settings as required.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><strong>Important Note:</strong> when changing the quiz settings for a time accommodation override, instructors <strong>must</strong><span style="color: #000000;"><strong> ensure they match the timing setup settings for the main quiz</strong></span>.</li>
<li>This means that if your main quiz timing has <strong>BOTH</strong> start/close times <strong>AND</strong> a time limit applied, any override that you add for a student must adjust <strong>both</strong> of those for each student.</li>
<li>For example, if your quiz opens at 1:00 pm, closes at 2:00 pm, <strong>AND</strong> has a time limit of 60 minutes, <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>if you give a student an override that only gives them a 90 minute time limit, the student's attempt will close at the original close time, regardless of the extended time limit. You must also extend the close time. </strong></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="closed-attempt"></a>Handling quiz attempts that are submitted prematurely:</strong></span></p>
<p>Changing the closing time and time limit settings will not re-open attempts that have already been submitted, either by the student or automatically because the closing time was reached. This also applies for exam attempts submitted by <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/386/45/creating-examlock-sessions-for-eclass-quizzes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ExamLock</a>. In these cases, adding an override (as shown above) and changing the 'Attempts allowed' to 2 would start a brand new attempt (which may be a desired option).</p>
<p>But if a student requires more time to continue and complete <strong>their existing attempt</strong> 'Attempts allowed' must be set to 2 <strong>AND</strong> the setting in the quiz settings 'Each attempt builds on the last' must be set to <strong>Yes</strong>.</p>
<p>Changing this setting for the entire quiz will have no affect on other students because it will only take effect for the students given the second attempt through the override.</p>
<p>Click on the <strong>Settings</strong> tab in the quiz and scroll down to the 'Question behaviour' section.</p>
<p>Click 'Show more' to access the setting <strong>Each attempt builds on the last</strong>, and set it to <strong>Yes</strong>:<br /><br /><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quiz_overrides_2a.png" alt="" width="760" height="324" /><br /><br /></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="assignment-override"></a>Create a user or group override for assignments:</strong></span></p>
<p>Adding overrides to <strong>Assignments</strong> is the same except for the different settings options available:<br /><br /><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/assignment-overrides.png" alt="" width="733" height="718" /> <br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="editing"></a>Editing overrides:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>When you re-enter the 'Overrides' interface, any existing overrides will be listed on the Quiz page and on the overrides page.</li>
<li>You can adjust the quiz or assignment delivery details for an override by clicking the gear icon to the right of the override.</li>
<li>You can remove an override completely by clicking the trash icon to the right of the override.</li>
<li>The "copy" icon can be used to copy an override to another user.</li>
<li>If an error message similar to the following displays after inputting an override, it is likely indicating that a quiz availability setting has superseded the override rule(s), <em>i.e.</em>, the quiz is hidden at the course level. This is a warning only and will not impact the override once the superseding condition is removed.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="additional-notes"></a>Other notes:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>The interface for entering <strong>Group overrides</strong> is the same as for User overrides: any changes specified to all members of that particular group (<a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/148/13/setting-up-groupings">Groupings</a> are <strong>NOT</strong> required to limit changes to a particular group).</li>

<p><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After your students have completed a quiz, if you find that it contained an unfair question (e.g., the answer was coded wrong, the question was too ambiguous, etc.) you can either:</span></p>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Go to the <strong>Questions</strong> page by clicking on the quiz link on your course page then by clicking on the <strong>Questions</strong> tab:</li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/qquiz-edit-question.png" alt="" /></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>As below, change the points for the question to ‘0’ in the <strong>Questions</strong> screen so that the question doesn’t count towards the final quiz grade. eClass will automatically recalculate the grade.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Otherwise, as below, edit the question using the edit icon on the <strong>Questions</strong> screen, and change what you will accept as a correct answer.</p>
</li>
<li><strong>Note: You cannot remove or add questions to a quiz once even one student has attempted it</strong>. <strong>You should also not completely remove question answers after quizzes have been attempted as this will cause inconsistent or incorrect quiz scoring.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><br /><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quiz-regrade-1.png" alt="" width="687" height="353" /></p>
<p>In both cases, all quiz attempts must be re-graded (see below) to update student quiz scores to reflect any changes you have made to question values or correct answers.</p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="cloze"></a>Embedded Answers (Cloze Questions) Advisory</strong></span>:</span> Before editing and re-grading Cloze questions, ensure that you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">do not</span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>add or delete sub-questions</li>
<li>change the questions order in the text</li>
<li>change their question type (numerical, short answer, multiple choice)</li>
</ul>
<p>Changes to CLOZE questions that have existing student attempts can break questions within existing attempts and for future quizzes. <strong>The recommended process for repairing CLOZE question scores is to zero the question score. </strong>If you are attempting to edit questions, we recommend that you make changes using the HTML text editor instead of the RTF editor in eClass to ensure that you do not accidentally inject new formats or behaviours into the Cloze question you are modifying.</p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="regrade"></a>To re-grade quiz attempts:</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Click on the quiz link on your course page, then click on the <strong>Attempts: </strong># link.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quiz-attempts.png" alt="" width="541" height="371" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>Click on <strong>Regrade all </strong>located above the listing of quiz attempts. To ensure your question edits or re-scoring produce the intended results, we recommend running <strong>Dry run a full regrade</strong> to preview your changes.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quiz-attempts-1.png" alt="" width="772" height="416" /><br /><br /></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="delete"></a>To delete quiz attempts:</strong></span></p>
<p>In some cases, you may want to entirely remove quiz attempts (for example in cases of incomplete attempts owing to computer failure, illness, or if you have had colleagues or your <strong>Demo student</strong> submit attempts in testing). To delete quiz attempts:</p>
<ol>
<li>Access the quiz and click on the <strong>Attempts: </strong># link<br /><br /><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quiz-attempts.png" alt="" width="541" height="371" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>Place a checkmark in the left side of the row of any attempt you wish to delete.<br /><br /></li>

</ol>
<p><a name="force-submit"></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>To force submit quiz attempts:</strong></span></p>
<p>In some rare cases, student quiz attempts may get stuck in an 'In progress' or 'Never submitted' state. If an attempt such as this has saved answers for the student that you want to save and grade, you can force submit the attempt:</p>
<ol>
<li>Access the quiz and click on the link <strong>Attempts: #</strong>.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quiz-attempts.png" alt="" width="541" height="371" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>Place a checkmark in the box at the left side of the row of any attempt you wish to force submit.<br /><br /></li>

</ol>
<p><strong><a id="note"></a>Note:</strong> There is no option in eClass to <strong>re-open an existing attempt</strong> (e.g., if there were technical issues and the attempt was automatically submitted by the quiz time limit).</p>
<p>If an attempt has been submitted, and if you require a student to continue working on the same attempt, it is possible to add an override for the particular student and then change the quiz behaviour so that they can build on their last attempt.</p>
<p>See the article <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/114/15/modifying-quiz-settings-for-select-users-overrides" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adding User Overrides to Quizzes</a> for more information.</p>
<!--<p><strong>To force submit quiz attempts:</strong></p>
<p>In some rare cases, students can complete a quiz but it will remain in an unsubmitted state. Their answers will be correctly saved but their attempt will not get graded and they will receive no score. In those situations you can force submit their particular attempt. To do this:</p>
<p>1) Access the quiz and click on the link<em> Attempts: #</em>.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This article outlines how instructors can use ExamLock Manager to manage existing secure exam sessions and review student activity during quizzes. Instructors should follow the instructions for <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/375/14/using-examlock-with-eclass-quizzes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Using ExamLock to Promote Quiz Integrity in eClass</a> to configure their quizzes and <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/386/45/creating-examlock-sessions-for-eclass-quizzes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">create exam sessions</a>.

<p><span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Please note:</strong></span> if instructors elect to also hide eClass course content sections during their ExamLock exams, this should be done well before students launch their ExamLock attempts as otherwise there may be performance issues launching student sessions.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the ExamLock manager, instructors will see the list of all the exam sessions that they have created with action icons in each row to edit the session details, lock the session, and view session activity.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a id="add-time-global"></a>Adding extra time:</span></strong><br /><br />During an exam, if there have been disruptions or students need a longer time to complete the quiz, instructors can extend the time of the quiz for <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>all</strong></span> the attempts. <br /><br />To add extra time for <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>all</strong></span> students, click the <strong>Edit session settings</strong> button (pencil icon) in the row for the session:<br /><br /></p>
<p><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/examlock-setup-12a.png" alt="" width="682" height="264" /></p>
<p>Then, enter the desired time extension, <strong>in minutes</strong>, into the <strong>Extra time</strong> field:<br /><br /><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/examlock-setup-14.png" alt="" width="559" height="366" /><br /><br />Any students who have not yet submitted <strong>and have more than 2 minutes remaining on their own quiz timer</strong> will receive an alert in their quiz attempt indicating that they have received an extension. From that point onwards, their quiz timer will show the time added.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br /><br /><a href="#Adding_individual_accommodations">See below</a></strong></span><strong> for adding extra time to an individual student's attempt. </strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a id="locking-all"></a>Locking sessions:</span></strong> After an exam session has been launched, or after it has been completed, you have the option of locking the session so no further attempts can be started or restarted. Existing attempts can be submitted normally when a session has been locked. To lock a session, click the <strong>Lock</strong> icon in the row for the session:<br /></span></p>
<p><br /><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/examlock-setup-12b.png" alt="" width="664" height="270" /><br /><br /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Session locking might be used in large course sections during exams where it is not possible to account for all the students submitting attempts - locking would prevent students from launching sessions from un-proctored locations and can also be used to ensure that students aren't quitting and resuming their exam session in cases where close proctoring is not possible. <strong>Locking should be standard practice after exams are completed and submitted if not all students have completed the exam.</strong><br /></span></p>
<p><br /><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="viewing-activity"></a>Viewing Session Activity</strong></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The <strong>Session Activity</strong> button allows instructors to manage individual student attempts and review any flagged attempts. These functions are available before, during, or after an exam has been completed. </span></span></span></span></p>

<p>The session activity page displays all students who have accessed the quiz, along with their current status (the help icon describes all the available statuses.) <br />By <strong>pre-loading,</strong> all students in the course will be populated in the session list (whereas otherwise, they appear when they launch their attempt in ExamLock). <br /><br /><a id="Adding_individual_accommodations"></a><br /><br />Pre-loading allows instructors to manage any <strong>students with accommodations</strong> by adding additional time for their attempt only. To add more time to individual students, you will have to click on the Clock Icon beside the student's name to add more time just for them <br /><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></span></span></span></span><br /><a name="switch-device"></a> <img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/examlock-setup-15.png" alt="" width="1274" height="400" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The exam activity page can be filtered to show only attempts that have been flagged, allowing instructors in large live exams to more easily check for potential issues. <br /></span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For each student you can add extra time to their attempts, lock/unlock their attempt, or allow them to switch devices using the icons at the right:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/examlock-setup-15.png" alt="" width="1274" height="400" /></span></p>
<p>The <strong>Device switch </strong>toggle will allow a student to switch to a different machine in case of a machine crash or a battery problem. This<strong> </strong>toggle will allow the student to re-launch the last saved attempt using ExamLock on a different/new device. Device switching takes the student's last saved data from the Examlock cloud manager and pre-fills a new ExamLock attempt on the new device. Students should select the option to <strong>Resume exam</strong> once they have input the exam session code. <strong>This should only be used if a student has access to a different machine - it will not function on the original machine.<br /></strong></p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/h5p-contentbank-1.png" alt="" width="821" height="425" /></p>
<p>2. The <strong>Content bank</strong> lists all previously added content (or content copied forward from previous terms) and provides the option to <strong>Add </strong>or <strong>Upload </strong>H5P activities:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/h5p-contentbank-2.png" alt="" width="728" height="506" /></p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/h5p-contentbank-3.png" alt="" width="719" height="415" /></p>
<p>4. The available content types allow for a range of different types of interactivity from answering embedded questions to recording audio to dragging objects. Instructors can customize the templates to include their own images, videos, or presentations, and then add the specific interaction allowed by the template.</p>
<ul>
<li>The range of content types is inter-operable and by default many of the recommended, 'fuller' activities are constructed using the 'smaller' ones as building blocks. <a href="#available">See below for a table</a> of what the different content templates do and to access links to specific instructional materials for the most popular types.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="unlisting"></a>Unlisting Content bank items:</strong></span></p>
<p>By default, your creations are set to 'Public' and may be searched by other H5P authors or Instructors in the same eClass course.</p>
<p>If you wish to hide the visibility of your content bank item,</p>
<p>1. Click on the item in your content bank:</p>

<p><strong>New in June 2023, </strong>instructors can create attempts for students within the quiz activity. These attempts would reflect any random answer ordering or question ordering <em><strong>specific to those students</strong></em>. Once created, these attempts can be easily printed, giving instructors the option to fill in the answers in the students attempt (to allow grading to occur automatically). It is also possible to view and/or print student's completed attempts including answers to provide secure review or retain copies.</p>
<p>This new functionality can be used if students need to complete a quiz but do not have internet access and will also streamline the process of creating print or PDF copies of exams to share with the Academic Success Centre for alternate format conversion.<br /><br /></p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br /><a id="limitations"></a>BEFORE printing exams, it is essential that instructors are aware of the limitations of this workflow:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Several quiz question types <strong>CANNOT</strong> be converted to static/paper form including the drag-and-drop types, multi-answer (Cloze) questions that contain dropdown boxes, and STACK online computational questions.</li>
<li>Creating attempts using this workflow <strong>actually launches</strong> student attempts on eClass so if quizzes have time windows or time limits for completion, the countdown will start for those attempts. Students <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/114/15/modifying-quiz-settings-for-select-users-overrides" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can be given overrides</a> that work around the timer so that that any offline processes can occur in an appropriate time. <strong>Instructors CANNOT submit attempts for students if the countdown timer has elapsed or the exam completion window has closed.</strong> </li>
<li>When you are submitting answers for students, if you have a multiple choice questions that allows the user to select multiple answers at once (a select all that apply question), when you are in the <a href="#submit-attempts"><strong>Submit student responses </strong></a>interface, then you will only be able to select one answer. If two or more answers are correct, you cannot choose them all. Right now, there is no workaround for this issue, so it is best to not use "Select all that apply" questions.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="create-attempts"></a>Creating Student Attempts</strong></span></p>
<p>To access the attempt creation interface, open a quiz, click the <strong>Grades </strong>tab from the top header, and then select <strong>Create student attempts</strong> from the options dropdown at top left:</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /><a id="submit-attempts"></a>Submitting answers for students</span></strong></p>
<p>If a student has completed an exam on paper, instructors can use the <strong>Submit student responses</strong> link to transcribe their answers into eClass. Instructors could equeally score the paper copy themselves and enter the total score directly into the eClass gradebook. Entering the answers <strong>as the student</strong> allows the automated grading actions of the quiz to do the scoring and pass values to the gradebook.</p>
<p>The student's answers can be directly entered into the page but must be saved by clicking the green <strong>Submit answers on behalf of [student name] and finish attempt</strong> button at the very bottom right:</p>

<p>This article describes how instructors can use the built-in quiz statistics available for all selected-response-type questions (multiple-choice, true/false, matching, etc.) in the eClass quiz tool. These statistics are not available to review until after a quiz attempt has been completed by students. Once available, the stats can be used to review the performance of the class and to help determine the validity of the assessment and specific questions.</p>
<p>Test Scoring and Questionnaire Services (TSQS) can provide instructors with alternative item analysis reports and exam files using eClass quiz data. The reports may be of interest to instructors who have transitioned to eClass exams from Scantron multiple choice exams and would prefer to see the TSQS-style exam reports. Instructors can request reports by emailing <a href="mailto:test.scoring@ualberta.ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener">test.scoring@ualberta.ca</a>.</p>

<p>Navigate to your course home page, and click the link to your Quiz.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quizlink.png" alt="Final Exam link" width="598" height="74" /></p>
<p>On the quiz details page, Click <strong>Results</strong>, then from the dropdown menu, select <strong>Statistics</strong>.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><strong><br /><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quizstat1.png" alt="Accessing quiz Statistics" width="742" height="420" /><br /></strong></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The statistics page sometimes loads slowly in quizzes with a large number of questions and student attempts. Once the page loads, the top section displays a range of information and statistics about the quiz as a whole: </span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quizstats3.png" alt="Overall Statistics" width="805" height="406" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="basic-info"></a>Basic Quiz Information and Statistics</strong></span></p>
<p>The first few items are basic information about the quiz and how it was delivered:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- Quiz name - pulled directly from the quiz settings, the title you gave your quiz<strong><strong><br /></strong></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Course name - your course name</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Open the quiz</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- pulled directly from the quiz settings, the date you set the quiz to open</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Close the quiz - pulled directly from the quiz settings, the date you set the quiz to close</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Open for - pulled directly from the quiz settings, the duration of your exam window</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Number of complete graded first attempts - the number of students who completed a first attempt of your quiz</span><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Depending on the parameters set for the quiz regarding how many student attempts can be made (one attempt only, multiple attempts, highest grade, etc.), the following items will indicate the average grade across attempts:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Total number of complete graded attempts - total number of student attempts on this quiz</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Average grade of first attempts</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Average grade for all attempts</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Average grade of last attempts</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Average grade of highest-graded attempts</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="eval"></a>Quiz Evaluation Statistics:</strong></span></p>
<p>The next few items can help to determine the validity of your assessment overall.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Median grade (for highest graded attempt) - If your quiz has skewness (</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">by having a number of very high or very low scores)</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the median will assist you to judge your class’ performance in comparison to the mean (Average grade of attempts).</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Standard deviation (for highest graded attempt) - The standard deviation indicates how spread out the grades are in comparison to the average. Larger standard deviations indicate more spread and smaller standard deviations indicate less spread. </span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Score distribution skewness (for highest graded attempt) - Skewness helps determine how symmetric the distribution of grades is. Zero implies a perfectly symmetrical distribution, positive values have a ‘tail’ to the right and negative values have a ‘tail’ to the left. The ideal number will be a negative number around -1.0. If the value is too negative, this indicates the clustering of grades at the top of the distribution which makes it harder to discriminate the performance of high-scoring students. Similarly, a large positive value (greater than 1.0) indicates clustering to the bottom of the distribution making it hard to discriminate the performance of students with lower scores.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong><strong><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quizstats4.png" alt="Skewness" width="544" height="236" /></strong></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><span style="font-size: 8pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Image Source: </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Quiz report statistics - MoodleDocs. (2020). <a href="https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Quiz_report_statistics#:~:text=Discrimination%20efficiency%3A%20This%20statistic%20attempts,same%20score%20on%20that%20question" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Retrieved 10 June 2020</a>.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- Score distribution kurtosis (for highest graded attempt) - The ideal range will be between 0 to 1.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Coefficient of internal consistency (for highest graded attempt) - This is Cronbach’s alpha. Ideal values should be above 65% but anything over 80% is very good. This value is typically represented in item analysis as a decimal value ranging from 0-1. High values signify that the quiz has a high level of reliability indicating scores can be used to consistently rank students. A low value can indicate that some of the questions are not measuring the same underlying knowledge and skills as the rest of the test. In this case, reporting total scores might mask the strengths and weaknesses students have for the different types of knowledge and skills being assessed. It can also mean that the test contains questions that are susceptible to random error and thus how students' scores on some questions are not related to the intended focus of the test  (e.g.: it is testing reading comprehension rather than content - i.e. the test questions are heterogeneous.)</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Error ratio (for highest graded attempt) - The Error ratio should have a lower score - if this score is high, it may indicate you have several difficult or very easy questions. Values over 50% indicate that there is substantial error, and imply that less than half the standard deviation is due to differences in ability and the rest is due to chance.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Standard error (for highest graded attempt)</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- Standard error is derived from the quiz’s standard deviation and error ratio values. Ideally, this score should be below 8%. It is difficult to get this value below 5% or 6%.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><strong><a id="stat"></a>Quiz Statistics for the individual items </strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you scroll downwards, you will see the individual questions listed, with each question title linking to more detailed information about that question. The columns in this table provide a statistical evaluation of each question. (To see Moodle’s guide to the item analysis headings, click the link '<a href="https://docs.moodle.org/310/en/Quiz_statistics_report#Quiz_structure_analysis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quiz structure analysis - for details click here</a>'.) If you have pulled random questions from categories into your quiz, there is information for the question number slots and for the individual items. </span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><strong><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quizstat2.png" alt="Quiz structure analysis " width="903" height="361" /><br /><br /></strong></strong>Additional details about the item analyses:<strong><strong><br /></strong></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- Question name: The name of the question that was assigned when the quiz was built</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Attempts: The number of students who received this question on their exam. In the event that you have randomized questions pulling from a question bank category, not all students who wrote the test may have received that specific item.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Facility Index: Also, item difficulty. This value indicates the percentage of students who answered this question correctly. You can use the following guide for an idea of the interpretation of different Facility Index scores. </span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quizstats6.png" alt="Difficulty" width="599" height="481" /></p>

(2020). <a href="https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Quiz_report_statistics#:~:text=Discrimination%20efficiency%3A%20This%20statistic%20attempts,same%20score%20on%20that%20question" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Retrieved 10 June 2020</a>.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- Standard deviation: The amount of variation amongst student scores for this question.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Random guess score: This is the mean score students would be expected to get for a random guess at the question. In an item with 4 answer options, students would always have a 25% chance of getting the item right.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Intended weight: The weight assigned to the question on the Edit Quiz page.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Effective weight: Is an attempt to estimate, from the results, how much of the actual variation amongst student responses was due to this question. Ideally the effective weights should be close or match to the intended weights.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Discrimination Index: The correlation between the score for this question and the score for the entire quiz, effectively Item Discrimination. In Moodle, it is reported as a percentage, while it is commonly indicated in item analysis as a decimal value ranging from -1 to 1. Low values, below 20% and negative values indicate the item is discriminating in a way that is opposite to the rest of the test. In other words, lower-scoring students have a better chance of getting these questions correct than higher-scoring students and vice versa. The discrimination index correlates students’ overall performance on the quiz to their performance on each item; stronger students should have a better chance of getting each individual question correct, and weaker students should have a lower chance of getting each item correct. If everyone is getting it right (or wrong), then the question is too easy (or too hard). The higher the discrimination index, the better the question is at differentiating students who know the concepts being tested from those who don’t. </span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong><strong><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quizstats7.png" alt="Discrimination" width="378" height="301" /></strong></strong></p>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Discriminative efficiency: An item which is very easy or very difficult cannot discriminate between students of different ability levels, because most students will get the same score on that question. Discrimination efficiency will very rarely approach 100%, but values in excess of 50% should be achievable. Lower values indicate that the question is not nearly as effective at discriminating between students of different ability levels and is therefore not a particularly good question.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="problems"></a>Problematic Items</strong></span></p>
<p>Some question names will be highlighted in red, which is eClass' way of indicating that these questions should be reviewed by instructional staff. The red flags are triggered by a low discriminative efficiency score:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><strong><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quizstat3.png" alt="Highlight" width="776" height="352" /><br /></strong></strong></p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="individ-quest"></a>Individual Question Detailed Statistics</strong></span></p>
<p>Clicking on an individual question name will bring you to a new page with more details about the question's performance. Additionally, you will be able to see the number of students who selected each answer option to review how your distractors are functioning.</p>

</div>
<p>This article describes how instructors can use the ExamVis external tool to provide students with feedback on their eClass exams. This tool, developed as a part of a TLEF project headed by Dr. Okan Bulut from the Faculty of Education, splits exam questions into subject matter categories that provide students detailed information on their strengths and weaknesses in those areas as well as a range of summary statistics. Dr. Bulut has provided this <a href="https://www.ualberta.ca/centre-for-teaching-and-learning/media-library/teaching-support/generating-effective-feedback-from-online-assessments-using-examvis.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">short overview of the tool</a>.</p>
<p>For the Fall 2022 term, we have made a number of performance improvements over the summer as we continue to transition ExamVis to central support. Instructors should ensure to check the <a href="#known-issues">known issues</a> before using the tool.</p>
<p>ExamVis can be added to an eClass course through <strong>Add an activity or resource</strong> &gt; <strong>External tool</strong> &gt; Select <strong>ExamVis </strong>from the list of preconfigured tools:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/examvis-1.png" alt="" width="626" height="529" /></p>
<p>To get started using the tool, Dr. Bulut has prepared a <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XT91iWxcDeF5npa5ssJC1LykZBTnOA-h1Vm8NKG0_jE/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">user guide</a> for using this tool that contains complete instructions.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a id="known-issues"></a>Please note, since the tool is in open beta, instructors should be aware of the following known issues before opting to use ExamVis:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>The Description type question is not compatible with the tool. Descriptions will cause issues with calculating students correct total scores within question categories. If this type of question is required in a quiz, it/they can be added to a separate question bank category to prevent errors - this category would appear in the reports but not have any student scores associated. Note that collecting description questions will break the display of top visual graph, 'Radar chart'- per category scores and class averages will still be displayed in the Bar Chart below.</li>
<li>Questions cannot be pulled randomly from categories into quizzes. If random order is required in a quiz, the <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/286/13/adding-and-managing-quiz-questions#shuffle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shuffle feature</a> can be used.</li>
<li>Images within quiz questions <strong>cannot </strong>be added as base-64 encoded data (which commonly occurs when question text including images is pasted from word docs). These will cause the ExamVis tool to throw an http 504 error when loading the tool in a course. Base-64 encoded images can be identified by opening the html editor view of a question or answer and looking for either an image with a file name or an image consisting of a (very) long string of characters as in the screenshots below:<br /><br />
<ul>
<li>Not base-64:<br /><br /><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/not-base64.png" width="475" height="221" alt="" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>Base-64:<br /><br /><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/base64.png" width="475" height="242" alt="" /><br /><br /></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Very large courses (in terms of quizzes, question bank size, and overall content) may encounter errors when trying to load the ExamVis tool. This issue only appears intermittently and can sometimes be circumvented by launching the tool and running reports at off-peak hours when there is less overall traffic on eClass.</li>
<li>Student reports are sometimes not fully generated on first attempt but if instructors click 'Generate reports' again, they should all appear.</li>
<li>Student reports sometimes report that all student reports are generated when the actual number is lower and some reports are missing. This issue can sometimes be resolved by clicking 'Generate reports' again.</li>
<li><a id="question-version-issue"></a>ExamVis reports will not display correctly when questions with multiple versions are set to the default version setting 'Always latest' in quizzes. New versions of questions are created automatically every time a questions is edited so instructors who have made any changes to questions in ExamVis-enabled quizzes may need to manually change the version. This issue is being worked on by eClass developers. This issue can be resolved by selecting the latest version in the question's version dropdown (instead of 'Always latest'): <br /><br /><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/evis-manual-version-switch.png" width="925" height="" alt="" /></li>
</ul>
<p>Instructors encountering any issues should contact eClass support.</p>

<p>This article outlines how instructors can set up individualized versions of exams for specific students. This is most commonly required if an instructor needs to facilitate an approved Exam Audio (AF) accommodation and this article will describe that use case in detail. The eClass steps for creating individual, printed copies of exams may apply to other situations.</p>
<p><strong>New in June 2023</strong>, instructors can <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/Knowledgebase/Article/View/514/1/exporting-quiz-attemopts-for-individual-students" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now create individual student versions of quizzes</a> that use both randomized values WITHIN questions such as the calculated, simple-calculated question types and that have both shuffled question or answer orders. These attempts have a convenient option to create print versions. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>This new workflow is now the recommended process for creating audio versions of printed exams. </strong><span style="color: #000000;">It is still not possible to create printed-in-advance versions of exams using the STACK question types, the drag-and-drop question types, or CLOZE questions with dropdown boxes so these scenarios require an alternative delivery method for audio accommodations.<br /><br /></span></span></p>
<div style="display: table; border-collapse: separate; table margin: 5px; padding: 7px; border: 1px solid #000; background-color: #f8f9fa; font-size: 10pt;">
<div><strong>Contents:</strong></div>
<ul style="list-style: none; margin: 0.3em 0; padding: 0;">
<li>1 <a href="#configure"> Configure the quiz in eClass for printing</a></li>
<li>2 <a href="#quiz-construction-notes"> Specific notes on quiz construction</a></li>
<li>3 <a href="#clockwork"> Upload the resulting file to ClockWork</a></li>
<li>4 <a href="#share"> Share the converted audio file with the student</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<p></p>
<p>The eClass quiz tool has several delivery options but converting an exam to audio requires three primary steps: </p>
<ol>
<li>Configure the quiz in eClass for printing (and optionally, if the student will be writing online, ensure they have access to the quiz);</li>
<li>Upload the resulting file to <a href="https://clock.uss.ualberta.ca/ClockWork/user/instructor/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ClockWork’s Instructor Services portal</a>; and</li>
<li>Share the converted audio file with the student.</li>
</ol>
<p>When conversion for an Exam Audio (AF) accommodation is required, instructors will be contacted by the Academic Success Centre’s Alternate Format Team to request electronic files of the eClass quiz at least three (3) working days in advance of the exam. (Exam accommodation procedures can be reviewed on the <a href="https://www.ualberta.ca/current-students/accessibility-resources/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Academic Success Centre’s Academic Accomodations website.</a><a href="https://www.ualberta.ca/current-students/accessibility-resources/index.html">)</a> </p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Important note</strong>:</span><strong> </strong>at this time it is <strong>not possible</strong> to create an audio conversion or printed-in-advance version of an exam that uses randomized values WITHIN questions such as the calculated, simple-calculated, and STACK eClass question types<strong> </strong>because these create the questions for each student “on-the-fly” when each attempt gets launched. In these situations, a separate static quiz must be created.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a id="configure"></a>Step 1: Configure the quiz in eClass for printing</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>A. No randomization.</strong> The easiest case is a quiz that involves no randomization of questions <strong>OR</strong> answer order. When a quiz is static, students using an audio format copy of the exam can use the same version as the rest of the class. <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/368/14/how-to-print-quizzes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The basic instructions for quiz printing apply</a>: switch the layout of the quiz temporarily so that all questions are on a single page, launch a preview of the quiz, and then use the browser print function to create a PDF. Save this file and then share it with the Academic Success Centre’s Alternate Format team as per the instructions in Step 2 below.</p>
<p>After saving the PDF, <em><strong>ensure to return the layout of the quiz to its original question-per-page format</strong></em> (quizzes should never be delivered with all questions on a a single page.) Approved exam time multipliers can be <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/114/15/modifying-quiz-settings-for-select-users-overrides" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added as overrides</a>. <em>In this case, no extra steps are required to give the student access to the online quiz.</em></p>
<p><strong>B. Randomized quiz.</strong> Any time you <strong>have used question or answer order randomization as part of a quiz setup</strong>, you must create a separate version of the quiz in order to enable an audio conversion. You can do this easily by using the eClass <strong>Duplicate</strong> function available in the '3 dots' (⋮) menu to the right of the quiz:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quizdupe.png" alt="duplicating a quiz" width="656" height="170" /></p>
<p>Once duplicated, the options for question and answer shuffling can be turned off.</p>
<p>Question order shuffling:</p>
<p><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quiz-accoms-af-2b.png" alt="" width="650" height="98" /></p>
<p>Answer order shuffling: </p>
<p><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quiz-accoms-af-2a.png" alt="" width="550" height="111" /></p>
<p>The quiz can then be printed following the steps in part. <strong>A. </strong>above, ie. switched to 'All on 1 page, printed, and then returned to 1 question per page. If the student is taking the quiz on paper, this version can be hidden. If the student is taking the quiz online, this quiz version can then can be <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/455/1/setting-up-accommodations-for-fully-remote-exams#student-info" target="_blank" rel="noopener">access-restricted to the specific student</a> requiring with the audio accommodation. This student should also be excluded from accessing the non-audio version of the quiz using another access restriction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a id="quiz-construction-notes"></a>Specific notes on quiz construction:</span></strong></p>
<p>For audio conversion to be successful, all features used in the digital eClass quiz must be able to be translated to a paper format:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- Any online content such as linked files, embedded videos, or You Tube links must be shared separately with the student.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- The drag-and-drop eClass question types cannot be printed so will not convert to audio.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- The matching question type uses dropdown boxes so it will not convert to audio.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- Random variable questions like calculated and STACK cannot be printed in advance so will not convert to audio.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- When using CLOZE-style type questions, you must specify that answer options are displayed as radio buttons, MCV or MCH, as opposed to in a dropdown list.  (<a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/57/13/cloze-quiz-question-settings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">See here for more information on CLOZE</a>.)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- Similarly, for questions whose answers require the selection of numeric units, the units should be displayed as multiple choice radio buttons as opposed to in a dropdown list.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a id="clockwork"></a>Step 2: Upload the resulting file to </span></strong><a href="https://clock.uss.ualberta.ca/ClockWork/user/instructor/default.aspx">ClockWork’s Instructor Services portal</a></p>
<p>Upload your saved PDF of the “all questions on one page” version of the eClass quiz to ClockWork:</p>
<p><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/quiz-accoms-af2.png" alt="" width="775" height="323" /></p>
<p>This will enable the Academic Success Centre’s Alternate Format team to access the file and complete the audio conversion. The resulting converted audio file will be returned to you through a Google Drive folder. Note that while it is possible to block the options for downloading videos/audio files in the google drive interface, students could still be able to save hard copies of files. It is possible to share .mp4 type audio files through <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/486/23/using-the-yuja-enterprise-video-platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YuJa</a> without giving students the option to download.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a id="share"></a>Step 3: Share the converted audio file with the student </span></strong></p>
<p>The most common method for providing the audio format of an eClass quiz with a student is to share it through a Google Drive folder. This can be accomplished in either of two ways:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/131/13/adding-urls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">add direct url links to the folder or files</a>;</li>
<li><a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/403/13/embedding-google-drive-files-in-eclass" target="_blank" rel="noopener">embed the files via the Google embed tool</a></li>
</ul>
<p>With both of these methods, you must restrict access to only the student with the Exam Audio (AF) accommodation, making sure to <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/455/1/setting-up-accommodations-for-fully-remote-exams#student-info" target="_blank" rel="noopener">follow the steps here</a> for protecting student private information. If you wish to prevent downloads of the exam audio files, <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/175/13/embedding-videos-in-eclass#prevent-download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">follow the instructions here.</a></p>

<p></p>
<p>An instructor may need to adjust scores globally on a quiz by adding or subtracting points or scaling the scores without having to enter mass gradebook overrides to student scores.</p>
<p>eClass can do this by any combination of adjusting the '<strong>Offset</strong>' and/or '<strong>Multiplicator</strong>' values within the grade item for the quiz in the gradebook.</p>
<p>(<strong>Note: </strong>this procedure is not the same as adjusting the scores on specific questions when, for example, a wrong answer to a specific question was set as the correct answer or else was not scored correctly. Refer to <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/113/15/quizzes---editing-and-regrading-submitted-quiz-attempts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Editing and Regrading Quiz Attempts</a> for direction on how to adjust the grade on a specific quiz question).</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Multiplicator</span></strong>: The factor by which all grades for the grade item will be multiplied. For example, to add 2% to every quiz attempt, add a Multiplicator of 1.02.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Offset</strong></span>: A number that is added to every grade for this grade item, <strong>after</strong> the multiplicator is applied.</p>
<p>If you wish only to add 2 marks to every quiz attempt, set a Multiplicator of 1.0 and an offset of 2.0.</p>
<p>In another scenario, if you set a quiz where students are given the choice of answering two essay questions out of three topics and</p>
<ul>
<li>the quiz is worth 10 marks;</li>
<li>the three answers are worth five marks each;</li>
<li>students must provide only two of three answers; </li>
</ul>
<p>you could set a multiplicator of 1.5 to give them the full value of the grade out of ten. In other words, you would be dividing the number of marks of all the questions by the total grade (15/10 = 1.5).</p>
<p>The grade that the student will see will equal <span>(grade the student scored * multiplicator) + offset.</span></p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: the adjustment is made in the gradebook grade item setting, as below, and not in the quiz settings.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>To adjust these settings</strong></span>:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to your course's <strong>Grades</strong> tab then go to <strong>Gradebook setup:</strong><br /><br /><img src="https://sites.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/mult-offset-1.png" alt="" width="528" height="190" /><br /><br /></li>

<div><b data-stringify-type="bold">NOTICE:</b> Please be advised that the content of this article may only be relevant for users concluding the final stages of course work on eClass or for users on the eClass External system. <span>The eClass Learning Management System is currently in a <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/News/NewsItem/View/319/digital-learning-environment-changes-for-summer-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">read-only state</a> that prohibits new courses, enrollments, and users from being added to the site. Credit courses and co-curricular courses at the UofA are now being delivered on <a href="https://canvas.ualberta.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canvas</a>, and full articles on how to use Canvas can be found <a href="https://support.eclass.ualberta.ca/Knowledgebase/List/Index/53" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></div>

<div style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 11pt;">An effective way of preventing students from accessing course material during exams is disabling access to your course by changing the course availability on eClass. You may want to preemptively notify your students of the course closure as some students may try accessing your course in the minutes leading up to the exam - especially if information relevant to the exam such as seating arrangements is stored on eClass.</span></p>
</div>
<p>To change these settings: </p>
<ol>
<li>On your course main page, click on the <strong>Settings</strong> tab.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/Course Settings Tab.png" alt="" width="600" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>You will be taken to the <em>Edit course settings</em> page. In the <em>General</em> category from the dropdown menu for <strong>Course</strong> <strong>Visible</strong>, select <strong>Hide</strong> to hide the course from the students' view.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.ualberta.ca/~eclass/kb-images/block-student-access-to-course.png" alt="" width="700" height="" /><br /><br /></li>
<li>Once you are done click on <strong>Save changes</strong> at the bottom of the page.<br /><br /></li>
</ol>
<p>The course will now be unavailable to students. To re-enable student access after your exam, simply follow the same steps and adjust the value to <strong>Show</strong>.</p>
<p>If you have a multi-section course and want the course content to be hidden only for certain sections at a time, contact <a href="mailto:eclass@ualberta.ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eclass@ualberta.ca</a> and we can show you another (more complicated) method of doing this.</p>
<div><strong>NOTE: </strong>Blocking students from a course will remove it from their list of courses in eClass temporarily. It is recommended to inform students of this when restricting access to the course to avoid confusion.</div>
