For our class midterm, I am requiring the class to take a timed online exam. The students are able to choose any time this week to log in and take the 3-hour exam, and they are required to complete the exam this week–the exam portal will close after seven days. Am I required to give students with 150% time accommodations ten days to complete the exam?
If you are using a platform that allows all students to engage with the exam for a set amount of time (three hours), then the settings in the platform should be adjusted for students with 150% time accommodations to allow them four and a half hours to take the exam. The student with the extended time accommodation can then choose when during the week to log in and take their exam, and while taking the exam, will be provided with the additional time they require, in relation to their peers without extended time accommodations.
