Time extension in Moodle
Time extension for students with right to ?disadvantage compensation? in Moodle quizzes.
We recommend implementing the right to time extension as a measure to compensate for disadvantages in the same way as this is done at ETH Zurich for exams: By overriding the user settings "User Overrides".
User Overrides
Navigate to the quiz whose time limit you want to adjust for individual learners.

Entitled to compensation for disadvantages are persons who live with a "disability" in the legal sense, i.e. as defined in the Disability Equality Act (BehiG) Art. 2. para. 1. (external pagehttps://www.szh.ch/themen/nachteilsausgleich)
