About Special Access

Special access allows you provide alternative content or time limits to individual users or groups of users to accommodate special needs. For example, you can use special access to accommodate individuals who need additional time writing a quiz because of a physical or learning disability or you can use special access to set up a restricted dropbox folder for individuals who missed or under-performed on an assignment.

The following tools allow time-restrictions to be set on content and, therefore, use special access to allow alternative time limits:

• Quizzes
• Surveys
• Dropbox

There are two types of special access:

• Restrict access to a quiz, survey or dropbox folder to specific users
• Assign an alternative time restrictions on a quiz, survey or dropbox folder for specific users
