Can I control when and where students take quizzes?

Yes. Under Settings → Quizzes, the sentence "… and can start quizzes anywhere at any time" sets where students can start quizzes, and optionally on which days and hours. Click either phrase to change it.

Where

• Anywhere: the default. Your quiz password, if you set one, applies everywhere.
• Anywhere (no password at school): at school, students start quizzes without your password. At home, a parent types it to start each one. Books above a student's ZPD, or with no known level, still ask for it at school.
• Only at school: away from school, quizzes are closed.

Bookroo knows a student is at school by your school's network:

1. Open Settings from your classroom, on the same Wi-Fi your students use.
2. In the line under the quiz sentence ("No school network yet…"), click add this network. Each network you add is listed there, with remove.

If your school has more than one network, such as a separate student Wi-Fi, add each one. Sign in as yourself on a student device to add theirs. Until you add a network, every quiz counts as away from school.

When

Click at any time, choose Only on certain days and hours, pick the days, set the times, and click Save. The times are in your time zone, which shows under them.

When a quiz is closed

The student sees why, such as "Your class takes quizzes at school" or "Your class takes quizzes Mon–Fri, 8:00 AM–3:00 PM", and a Teacher password box. Your class's quiz password starts the quiz, so you can always give a makeup quiz. Set a password if you haven't.

Good to know

• A quiz already started can be finished. Only starting one is limited.
• Students in more than one class get the strictest setting of their classes.
• Points: if you also require a quiz before points, reading done at home earns its points once the student takes the quiz at school.
