Quiz

Hello Thomas,

I think there is no direct way to do it.

There may be workarounds, but they may or may not be possible depending on the conditions:

• Is the closing time fixed (set by a "close the quiz time") or floating (set by a "time limit")?
• Is the quiz taken over a short or long period of time, on the same computer in a single session or possibly over a few sessions on different computers?

Thomas,

You could download the Simple Reminder Block from here (https://github.com/nakaharatt/moodle-block_simple_reminder). It will do what you want because it uses the Moodle Messaging system, so the students will get a message in Moodle and an email if you have your system set up that way.

The Simple Reminder block sends a reminder to students that a deadline is approaching. It will send notifications on a specified date and time set by the instructor for any activities they wish. In addition to the specified date and time, this block also uses the activity completion results, so only the students who have not yet completed the activity will get the reminder. For example, a notice can be sent to students who have not done one or more posts by the date and time specified in a forum but no notice is sent to students who have satisfied this requirement. A Simple Reminder block is set for only one notification, but there can be multiple blocks in one course to send other reminders.

You could use this local plugin https://moodle.org/plugins/local_reminders to automatically send reminders for calendar events (including quiz and assignments)

You can customize to send reminders before 1,3 or 7 days before.
