Can I give extra time to a quiz that is in progress?

You can give students extra time for quizzes ahead of the quiz being available (e.g. for students with reasonable adjustments), but you can also change the time limits for a user doing a quiz whilst the quiz is in progress.

In the same way as you would give a user override ahead of time, if you set up a user override whilst the quiz is in progress, the student's time limit will update on the next page load from Myplace.
