Accessibility
New Quizzes, like Classic Quizzes, allows you to moderate quizzes by extending the test-taking time or number of attempts for one person and not everyone. Moderating in a quiz created in New Quizzes is a bit different than Classic Quizzes. Refer to the following guide for help: New Quizzes: How to Add Extra Time or Attempts.
