[Academic] Disability overrides for Myplace exams and class tests [FYI: for those after a reminder]

[Aidan Arnold]

Dear All,

Following on from Catherine and Nigel's emails, a reminder email from earlier this year on what should be done for overrides.

Staff setting exams need to check "Disabled Students" for their specific class on Pegasus. Alerts from Kirsten/Catherine/myself should let you know of any new students recently added. Time adjustments for disabled students must be done for each assessment and each disabled student or (if you make your own time groups) group of students individually, and for every separate class.

If you have set the time limits correctly (see below) and that is the only restriction then the students can click on the exam/test before it starts and it will say they can't take it but it also show what their exam time slot will be (including overrides), and you can then advise your students of this feature.

For support see:
https://support.myplace.strath.ac.uk/display/MS/Additional+Requirement+Adjustments  In the normal test/exam just set the start and end time for most students e.g.: [Attached image: Timing.png]

I've also attached a screenshot [Overrides.png] 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 duplicate a Myplace exam/test note that every single override is not updated to the correct date or time, but retains the OLD one.]

Best wishes for smooth exams,

Aidan
