It isn’t uncommon to have a student in your class who needs extra time on an assessment like a quiz, test, or exam due to an accommodation. If you are giving the assessment in Canvas, you can set up the “quiz” (Canvas’s term for any question-and-answer-based assessment) so that the student can have extra time to complete the activity while his classmates have the standard time you gave for it. To learn more, please see the section called “Adjust Additional Options” in the following link:
Once I publish my Quiz, how can I give my students extra attempts?
In the screenshot for this section, you will see an option labelled “Extra time on every attempt.” This is where you would add extra time for students.
