Help!! This is my third year teaching with Moodle, and I need to know how to set up a quiz so that a student can work on a quiz over time without losing his/her progress (for my special services students). They were able to do this in the past by just exiting the quiz and their progress was saved (it would say "continue last attempt") but I'm struggling with setting this up correctly this year. Please help me!!!

You should not need to do anything. The quiz should still save every time the studnet moves to another page.
Re: Need help with quiz setting!
The issue I have is with special ed students starting the quiz and then finishing it up later. I want them to be able to pick up where they left off, but it isn't working out. Last year they could log out without submitting the quiz and it saved their progress. This year, we can't do this...
Re: Need help with quiz setting!
Without knowing your version and seeing your settings, it is hard to know where to start. It should be saving...
Re: Need help with quiz setting!
I don't know what version we have... Basically I have my quizzes set up so that I create a group for my special ed students which opens the quiz for them but doesn't close it so that they have time to finish it. Last year they were able to simply log out without submitting the quiz and it saved their progress. This year it doesn't seem to be saving their progress. I can't seem to find a setting that allows them to continue with the quiz. For submitting it, the options are submit open attempts automatically, give them a grace period for submission, or quizzes not submitted aren't counted. I can increase the number of attempts allowed, but this isn't what I want either. Needless to say, I'm very frustrated.
Re: Need help with quiz setting!
There is no setting.
If the quiz is not saving the students responses and letting them resume later, then there is a problem with the way your Moodle site is installed.
I guess from the fact that you don't even know which Moodle version you are running, that you are not the administrator of this Moodle site. You need to contact the person who does maintain your Moodle site, and ask them to investigate why it is not working (when it did last year).
It must be something specific to your Moodle site, because it works for everyone else.

Thank you! The Moodle site I use is hosted by my ISD, so my control over things is minimal. I will contact my support person and we can hopefully resolve the problem. Thanks again.
