Requiring Time Between Assessment Attempts –

The Teams Version

In order for these instructions to work, you must place the assessment in a folder.
1. Go to the Manage tab
2. Click the Teams link in the Course Management nugget
3. Click the Add a Team link
4. Name the team something along the lines of <Assessment Name> Team to help you remember
what the team is for
5. You can enter a description if you would like
6. Set Hidden to Yes

7. Click the Save button

8. You do not need to add anyone to the team, click the Done button
9. Go to the assessment settings
10. Click the Access tab
11. For Team Access select Selected Teams
12. Check the box next to the team you just created
13. Click the Automate tab
14. In the Current Actions box enter the following (substituting your own variables and team name
for the ones highlighted in yellow):
?[GRADE]SETVAR:[Taken][1]
?[GRADE]SETVAR:[Timer][0]
?[GRADE]TEAMUNENROLL:[Team Name]
If you only have one assessment per course that you will be using this method on, you can leave
these variables rather generic. But if you will have multiple assessments using this method, I
suggest making these variables assessment specific (i.e. instead of Taken use Quiz1Taken or
Exam3Taken) just be sure to write down the exact variable names you are assigning because
you will need to use them in other areas.

15. Click the Save button

16. Go to the settings of the folder the assessment is in
17. Click the Automate tab
18. In the Current Actions box enter the following (substituting your own variables and team name
for the ones highlighted in yellow):
?[VIEW]($Taken$ = 0)TEAMENROLL:[Quiz 1 Team]
?[VIEW]($Timer$ > 12)TEAMENROLL:[Quiz 1 Team]
Use the same variables and team name as you did in the assessment actions. Substitute the
number of hours you want between attempts for the 12 in the above statements. The Timer
statement here is requiring more than 12 hours to have passed before it unlocks the
assessment.
19. Click the Save button
20. Click the Automate tab (next to the Manage tab at the top of the screen)
21. Click the Add New Agent link
22. Name the agent something along the lines of <Assessment Name> Timer to help you remember
what the agent is for
23. Ensure Scheduled Agent is selected
24. For Choose Schedule, select Daily
25. Enter 1 in the day(s) box
26. Choose the Every 1 hour(s)… option
27. Change the ending at time to 10:55pm
This will actually make the agent run from 12:00 am to 11:55 pm but due to the difference in
server time we have to list it as running from 11:00 pm to 10:55 pm.
