Reopen an Exam to Students after the Exam Ends

You may have students who missed out the exam due to illness, technical problems, etc. The following procedure MUST be done AFTER the exam ends. You can then reopen the exam available only to the requsted students. You need to change the settings in both Edit Settings and Set Release Criteria. After such students take the exam, you MUST delete the setting in Set Release Criteria, so other students are able to view the correct answers of the exam.

1. In Build tab, click Content Inventory.

2. Click Assessments in the middle of the screen.

3. Click the Edit Settings icon in the same row of the exam that you need to reveal the answer.

4. Click the green arrow next to Dates Available.
Select a new ending date and time. Click Save.

4. When the page is back to the Assessments list page, click the green plus sign (Set Release Criteria) for the exam.

5. Click Date button and select the ending date and time (the same as in Editin Settings-Dates Available). Click Save. Click Memeber button, check the student names, and click Save at the bottom of the pop-up window. Click Save.

Once the selective release is set to open for a certain student, others cannot access the exam. Therefore, this special setting needs to be done after the exam deadline for the entire class. Also, to allow others to view the correct answers of the exam, after the student finishes taking the exam, you MUST delete the Set Release Criteria settings by clicking the Delete icon.
