The Accommodations tool provides instructors with a quick way to grant students accommodations on all of the quizzes in a course with a single setting change. This feature is in addition to the Special Access tool. The Accommodation tool only works with an Enforced Time limit. It does not work with the Recommended time limit. Keep track of who you grant accommodations to within your course(s). This tutorial demonstrates how to add accommodations on quizzes in MyFIRE. Step 1. Navigate to the desired course in MyFIRE. Step 2. Select the course tools at the top of the page in the navigation bar. Step 3. Once the drop-down menu appears, select classlist.
Step 4. From the class list, locate the desired student by scrolling down the page or entering their name in the search bar. Step 5. Once the student has been located, select the drop-down arrow to the right of the student’s name. Step 6. A drop-down menu will appear. Select edit accommodations. Step 7. A pop-up window will appear. Choose if the timing for quizzes needs to be adjusted for the specified student. If the time needs to be adjusted, select the modify time limit checkbox.
A. If modifying the time limit, choose how the time limit should be adjusted by selecting either multiplier of original quiz time or extra time. i. Multiplier of Original Quiz Time: This option multiplies the total enforced time limit for each quiz by the entered value. For example, a quiz that has an enforced time limit of 20 minutes is multiplied by 1.5 will result in an accommodation of 30 minutes granted. ii. Extra Time: This option will add the entered minute value to the enforced time limit of each quiz in the course. For example, a quiz that has an enforced time limit of 20 minutes with 20 minutes added will result in an accommodation of 40 minutes granted. Step 8. Choose if always allow right click should be enabled. If enabling this option, select the always allow right-click checkbox. Right-click includes the ability to copy,
save as, search the web, printing, back, forward, reload, translate, viewing the web page code source, and connect page contents to browser extensions. Note: We do not recommend enabling Always Allow Right Click unless the student’s accommodations necessitate this feature being turned on. Step 9. Once finished selecting the desired settings, select save at the bottom of the pop-up window. Step 10. Once the accommodation has been saved, you will be able to view which student(s) have an accommodation in the classlist by the accommodation icon that is visible to the right of the students’ name.
Step 11. Also, once the accommodation has been enabled, students will be able to view the accommodation icon to the right of their own name to indicate that they have an accommodation. A. Students will not be able to view if other students have accommodations. B. The accommodation icon also appears in the User Progress tool on the Quiz tab if a student has a quiz accommodation in a course. C. When commencing a quiz, the accommodation icon appears next to a student’s quiz time to indicate that their accommodation has been applied.
Note: If a student’s time accommodation has been overridden by a quiz-specific special access, the accommodations icon does not appear.
