[Academic] Disabled student Myplace adjustments

[Aidan Arnold]

Hi Everyone,

Sorry but a short PS to the last email.

I have heard that if you copy a Myplace exam/test for a new use at a new time frame then: the overrides are not updated to the new time (Thorsten) or the overrides can disappear (Nigel).

Moreover if you set a Myplace test/exam for a given time, make overrides and then change the exam time, the overrides have to be manually updated to the new times as well. (thanks Nigel)

Another point raised (thanks Francesco) was what adjustment to make for 'stop the clock' disabled student Myplace adjustments, which would happen if the student had a room to themself with an in-person invigilator. Please make a Myplace adjustment of +25% for such students, and ideally notify them of this change and check suitability.

Best wishes,
Aidan

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder for class tests and Exams, as highlighted by Brian already.

Time adjustments for disabled students must be done for each assessment and each disabled student or (if you make your own group) group of students individually, and for every separate class. You can find the adjustments for disabled students in your class via Pegasus.
This is not ideal, we have asked for a more efficient method (e.g. Physics-wide '+25% groups') through the Myplace/Disability and Wellbeing Team, but it's how it is.

For support see:

In the normal test/exam just set the start and end time for most students e.g.:

I've attached a screenshot of how, within the test/exam setting mode, to access individual user overrides or group overrides (if there are enough students that you might want to make a group for your class).
Just change the end time to allow for the time extension for a student using the student number (or by using the 'group' link for a group of students), e.g. +25% is a common time extension where making a group may save you time for larger classes.

[NB If you ever copy an exam/test note the overrides are not updated]

Best wishes to all in the run up to exams,

Aidan
