I have an instructor whose quizzes are timed, but who has one student with special needs who needs to take an untimed test. Can we exempt a single student from the time limit? If so, how? We are using 1.6.
Thanks a bunch!

Crystal - Currently there is no option in 1.6 that would allow for this. It has been a requested feature but AFAIK it has not been addressed. One option would be to let the other students take it with the time limit and at a later time have the teacher go in and remove the time limit for the student with the special needs. Alternatively, if the teacher is giving the test in the classroom instruct the student with special needs to save without submitting and when the student returns to finish the test with the extended time have the teacher remove the time limit. So in short, the answer to your question is not yet. Peace - Anthony
Can you explain how this has been implemented in 1.8? I do not see anything in the settings for the quiz. We have students with special needs who require 1.5 or 2 times the normal time for a quiz. In order to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act, we need to allow this to happen.
Thanks for the help.

This is certainly not obvious how to configure so someone ought to write it up on docs.moodle.org (hint, hint), once they have checked the steps in detail.
Roughly what you need to do is:
1. Create a new role called something like 'Needs more time'.
2. Configure this role so that it has the single capability 'mod/quiz:ignoretimelimits' (or whatever it is called.
3. Assign this new role to the student in an appropriage context. You could assign it at the site context, so that they can ignore time limits in all quizzes in all courses, or you could just assign it on a single course or quiz.
There is no way to give some multiple of the time limit, like two or 1.5, you can only ignore it altogether (but you could enforce the time limit in other ways, for example if this was an invigilated exam.
