This tech tip is about setting a synchronous quiz. A synchronous quiz allows all students to start and finish a quiz at the same time. The timer will end the quiz at the deadline, regardless of when the student logged in. For example, when you schedule a one-hour quiz starting at 10AM, the quiz will end at 11AM. If a student starts the quiz at 10:15AM, they will only have 45 minutes to complete the quiz.

1. From within the quiz, click Availability Dates & Conditions and enter a start date:
