As a homework service, Quest is entirely capable of supporting online homework, learning modules (with lecture videos embedded), and exams remotely. More than 300,000 online exams have already been administered, so while we're continuing to add functionality, you can be confident the basic processes and software pathways are extremely well exercised.

Q: I have Quest automatically drop the lowest exam in my gradebook, but now I need to make another category for online exams. Will the system know to drop the lowest score in these two separate categories (exams, online exams/learning modules in test mode)?
A: Yes, we can roll online exam scores into your previous exam category, so the dropping and averaging machinery will work. Please contact us (questhelp@austin.utexas.edu) for more details.
Q: When giving online exams using Quest, can students log off and come back on?

A: Steps to be taken are here; please send a note to questhelp@austin.utexas if any links are not appearing (we need to give you an additional permission). Please note that if the name of the Quest Assignment Type where you've created the assignment (ie in the settings, listed as an exam/homework/learning module type)— matches the name of the Canvas Assignment Group, the assignment should automatically get filed in the correct spot when it's transferred to Canvas–there is no need for you to create the specific assignment in Canvas first.

Once you start, you have up to XX minutes to complete the exam.

Consider pooling questions, especially for the first few.
*Proctoring Tools
Quest in house (under development): Snapshots of a proctoring video feed will be composed into a flipbook and offered to instructors to uphold academic integrity concerns. Enabling or disabling this feature is expected to be on the specific assignment settings page. More information will be posted on Quest Proctoring capabilities here as it is created.
