Blackboard Tests and Assignments – Setting Extra Time

How do I set extra time on a Test or Assignment in My Dundee?

The Service Delivery Team of CTIL has created a Setting Extra Time in Tests in Assignments guide which will take you through:

  • Setting extra time for tests/assignments with and without a timer in My Dundee
  • How to accommodate for students with time limits beyond what Blackboard allows

Note: to avoid student confusion, it is important to provide uniformity across modules in regard to providing extra time accommodations.  Please follow the steps in this guide to allow students as consistent an experience as possible.

Why can’t I set 25% extra time?

Many students have 25% extra time accommodations.  Unfortunately, Blackboard currently only allows the option to set 50%, 100% or unlimited extra time for tests and assignments.  This issue has been raised with Blackboard and additional time accommodation options have been requested.

If you would like to raise your thoughts on this to Blackboard or if you have any other recommendations you can fill out a product feedback form (sign-up is required).
