Dear Moodle Community,

 

Can we limit the number of users who can appear in a quiz activity simultaneously?

Lets suppose I want to restrict it to 5 users only, then when there are 5 users attempting the quiz 6th student shall not be allowed to take the quiz.

Thanks in advance

Well, I don't think it is possible to restrict it this way. But as a work around could be to divide students into groups and have them access to each activity.

Thanks Nitin,

 

But I think that I cant achieve that by grouping the students.

Can I have some sort of booking slot for quizzes which I can release for the students and they can opt for those quizzes only for which they have booked the slot.

Not within Moodle. You can achieve the same through firewall rules or perhaps through Apache.

Jaswinder, what is the reason? What are you trying to achieve?

Thanks Visvanath,

I want to provide some courses with quizzes for free, but afraid that I will have more simultaneous users than my server capacity.

So I just want to stay within my server limits because of financial constraints.

Can you please put some light on how to achieve it through apache.
