- Allow extended time | Virtual TAU Support
In a Moodle Quiz or Assignment in which there are students who are entitled to time extensions - the time extensions must be defined in advance. In this guide we will explain how to set time extensions for students by creating a table in Excel, and how to set a time extension or a different date for an activity in Moodle for an individual or a group. Adding time extensions for groups or specific students In Assignment and Quiz activities, extended time can be allowed for groups of students or students individually. This must be done in advance for each test or assignment on the Moodle course website. In this guide we will explain the several ways how to do this. What's in this tutorial: Automatic sync of time extensions for eligible students New!

The extended time is synchronized according to the student's eligibility as recorded in University Student Management System (Mamta) and based on the time settings defined in the "Quiz" or "Assignment" in Moodle. A time extension is an additional duration granted to students based on eligibility approved by the university (defined in Mamta). For example: If a student is eligible for an extra 10 minutes per hour, in a quiz that lasts 90 minutes, the student will receive an additional 15 minutes, and the total quiz duration for that student will be 105 minutes. In Moodle, eligibility data for automatic time extensions is updated nightly from Mamta. Sync in a Moodle quiz can occur in two ways: Programmed sync: If predefined, sync will occur at 06:00 on the exam start date. Immediate sync: By using the "Sync now" button on the morning of the quiz and up until its end.
