Updating a student profile, including EdgeEX accommodations and modifications

The following settings are set as student profile settings, not in the course options:

  • Untimed Assessments: When enabled, assessments won't be timed.
  • Reduce Number of Assessment Questions: When enabled, reduces the number of assessment items on Quizzes, Tests, and Exams (does not include Pretests, Practice Tests, or Practice Exams).
  • Uses Screen Reader: When enabled, videos will not auto-play (to avoid audio overlap with screen readers).
  • Deaf or Hard of Hearing: When enabled, audio content is automatically presented with a transcript.

 Caution

While it is technically possible to archive a student by updating their profile, archiving a student using the instructions below results in a missing Archived Date on the Manage Students page. To archive a student, use the instructions in Archiving a Student.
