I have no perspective on the specific issue you raise, but I have found CAL's communications and expectations since the start of the pandemic to be more aggressive than they used to be. JDF

Subject: Administering accommodations in on-line quizzes - has CAL changed its policy?

 

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone else has experienced this change. I’ve been using short on-line canvas quizzes (15 min or less) for some years now. The Centre for Accessible Learning never required accommodation for students with special needs. Exams yes, on-line quizzes no. But this year the very same quiz requires accommodation that it did not require in 2019. Has there been a change in policy, or am I confused about something?

Puzzled,

Oliver
