I haven't reviewed this, but I am wondering if "accessibility" is the right word for this. Extended time is an accommodation, and I don't really think of it as having to do with accessibility. |
… tests. This accesibility time factor is a user property and is set when editing a student on the "Accounts Manager" page. The time that a student will have to complete any timed test is the product of the "Test Time Limit" set for the test on the "Set Detail" page, and this accesibility time factor for the student taking the test. By default the accesibility time factor for each student is 1, but can be set to something like 1.5 to determine that a student is allowed time and a half to complete timed tests. The point of this is that it is a bit tedious to need to go through all timed tests and change the test time limit for all of the students that need to be given extra time for accesibility accomodations. With this you only need to set one number, and it is rather convenient to do so for all of the students in the class that need it from one page. Since this is a per user setting, this requires the addition of a new column to the user table in the database.

I just think of it as an accessibility thing, because the requests for students to have extended time always are made by our accessibility resource center. But accommodation is probably a better work. I will make the wording change. |
