Short Description: Set a time limit for your test or assignment. Time limits give students less time to search for answers they do not already know.
Add a time limit to Aplia tests or CNOW tests.
CNOW
Set Time allowed per take to a specific number of minutes when creating or editing a test.
Password Protection
Short Description: Set a password to be sure your students cannot access tests ahead of time. Students will not be able to begin the test until you share the password.
Set a password for any scoreable activity when you add it to the activities list. You can also set passwords in Aplia and CNOW.
CNOW
Set Password to take assignment when creating or editing a test.
Limit Availability
Short Description: Make tests available for a short window of time. If tests are available for a long time, students have more opportunity to share answers. A short window of availability means students begin their tests at the same time and prioritize their own work.
When adding your test to the learning path, set Available Date and Due Date to the same date with only the appropriate amount of time between them.
Shuffle Questions
Short Description: Shuffle the question order for each student. Shuffled questions make it difficult for students to share answers.
Aplia
Set the activity type to Randomized.
CNOW
Select Shuffle questions for each student and take when creating or editing a test.
Question Pools
Short Description: A question pool is a list of questions from which a specified subset of questions are randomly selected for each student's assignment. This makes it difficult for students to share answers.
Question Variation
Short Description: If algorithmic questions are included in your exam, you can set these questions to generate different numerical values for each student. Students will be tested on the same concepts but have different answers, so they cannot share answers.
CNOW
Set the Regenerate algorithmic questions option to either For each student and each take or For each student on first take only when creating or editing a test.
Limit Feedback
Short Description: Do not allow any feedback on students' test performance until after the test is closed. Students that finish their tests early can use this feedback to assist those still taking the test.
CNOW
Clear the option under Feedback after Assignment when creating or editing a test.
