Best Practices Checklist

Best practice checklist when using Kwe' (Moodle) quizzes: 

(  ) Create and try a test quiz/exam with students prior to exam day 

(  ) If using Respondus have the students install it and test it in advance 

(  ) Hardwire to the network where possible 

(  ) Have students turn off devices and close apps drawing on the network  

(  ) Print off extra paper exams - or have a plan 'b' for online exams 

(  ) Add multiple attempts to test (should the quiz or Lockdown browser crash) 

(  ) Consider extending timelines
