How to view a student checklist

The "Checklist" is a tool that allows the instructor to create a checklist for students in order to keep track of the items they have completed in the course.  Checklists can be created for other purposes as well.   The instructor is NOT able to view a student's checklist under the Checklist tool. it can only be viewed in the "User Progress" for each student, individually.  Below are instructions on how to do this.

• Go to Classlist 
• Select the "view progress" icon 
• Next to Tool, select Change if the displayed tool is NOT Checklist

•  Using the drop-down menu, select Checklist and click Apply. 

• You will now see the User Details for the Checklist.  The image below shows an example of the information that can be found here. 

1. The Checklist Summary for the selected user, which includes items completed, not completed, overdue (only applicable if there is a due date assigned), and the total items. 
2. The Status shows whether or not the student has completed that item. A green check markindicates the item has been checked off by the student.  
3. The Class Status represents how many students in the class have checked off that item. 
4. Due Date refers to the date the assignment is due.  This date is entered when the instructor creates the checklist. 
5. Checked Date indicates that the student checked this item. 

      

Online quiz technical guidelines for students

Instructors are urged to give students these guidelines to avoid technical problems during online quizzes:

• Use the most reliable internet connection available: Come to a campus lab, if possible. Next in reliability are cable modem and DSL. Dial-up is not recommended.

• Use a "hard-wired" internet connection, NOT WIRELESS.
  
• SAVE each answer as they move through the quiz.

• WAIT a minute after hitting Submit Quiz, before shutting down the browser or logging out of D2L -- this allows the system to properly save their responses and do the auto-grading, if that option is enabled.

• If the student has browser issues (e.g., the browser "freezes") or loses internet connectivity during the quiz, they should
• shut down the browser (not submit the quiz, not log out)
• open a new browser window
• log back into D2L
• navigate to the course and enter the quiz again
• continue taking the quiz.
• NOTE: In a timed quiz, the clock keeps ticking.

Quizzes: time restricted quiz

Question: When a student clicks the start quiz link to a time-restricted quiz, does the time clock start and continue even if the student closes the D2L browser window before submitting the quiz?

Yes, if a quiz has a time limit once the student clicks the Start Quiz link the time starts regardless if the quiz is submitted.  Moreover if the quiz is set to allow for normal submission the student can submit the quiz even if the time limit and grace period have expired. Submissions after the grace period will be flagged as late. Please note: once a student starts a quiz saves his/her responses exits the quiz without submitting it the clock is still ticking.

Student's Quiz Attempt Froze (Attempt in Progress)

If a student has a problem during the quiz, the quiz may hang. The quiz may freeze resulting in an "attempt in progress." As an instructor, you must impersonate the student and submit the quiz. Then, you must delete the attempt in order for the student to have a new attempt.
