Worried about accommodations and modifications? Read about Group Settings in Edcite Schools. 

Note - Distribution settings override assignment settings so anything you set here will be what students see with the exception of group accommodations.

C. Basic Settings
Focus Tracker - records time spent on / off assignment tab from student and reports to teacher. Gives student warning about this. 
Randomize Question Order - Students will be presented with questions in random order. Not recommended for passage based assignments! 

D. Student Report
Hide Answers and/or Scores - Customize what the student sees when they complete the assignment. This can be changed over time if you want to initially prevent students from sharing answers but later want to review. 

E. Control Retakes 
Control Retakes - Turn off the ability for students to retake the assignment. 

F. Student View
Time Limit on Assignments - Sets limit on amount of time student has on assignment before it is automatically submitted.
Turn off Unanswered Question Alert - Useful for younger students when assessing using a mix of Edcite and other questions. Student can submit without seeing alert about unanswered questions if some questions are answered outside of Edcite. Less useful now that work capture feature exists! 
Allow Answer Checks - Allow students to check if they are correct or not after each question. Great for formative assessments. 

G. Access Time Windows
Access Time Windows - Remove access to the assignment by day or by time. 

H. Access Control
Access Control - Sets a start / end time and date for a window where the assignment can be opened and submitted.
