Guidelines: Test & Quiz Settings (Auto-submit and Publishing)

Tuesday, November 10, 2020

 

The following guidelines need to be followed when setting up online tests:

1. All Tests settings and configurations need to be set before publishing as editing the test settings after it has been published can and will cause unforeseen issues.
    

2. Avoid modifying the settings of a published assessment while testing is in progress. Instead, wait until the final submission date has passed.
   
   

3. Late Submission setting should be set as example: Due Time + Test Duration + 20min. e.g. 12:00 + 1hr 30min + 20min = 13:50
   
   

4. The Autosubmit setting does not currently save student work before submitting. Students are advised to save their progress as often as possible.
   
   

5. Do not tick the Autosubmit saved students' work after the latest date option if a test is timed.

Warning: You should ONLY use the “Stop Accepting Now” option if you are sure that students are not currently working on the assessments in progress. 

NB: Stopping and automatically submitting an active assessment will submit it immediately without warning; the student will not be able to save their work before it submits.
