How to lock access to a quiz for a certain amount of time?

Sep 07, 2013

Hello,

Is it possible to lock access to a quiz for a certain period of time if the user does not achieve the passing grade? For example, if a user gets say 70% on a quiz, I do not want the user to attempt the quiz immediately afterwards; rather, I'd want the user to first spend some time to review the slides that came before the quiz and any relevant study material prior to attempting the quiz a second time.  Is there a way to lock the quiz for say 24 hours before the user can attempt it again?

Best regards,

Belal

Hi Belal:

I have had these challenges in the past when developing certification courses using other development products.

There are 2 solutions you need to make work together:

Ensure a date change has occurred. Use javascript to collect the date and make the retry button accessible based on that date changing.

Check this link for the date script:

To ensure the user actually reviewed the content again, you would also have to do the following:

The second is to create a trigger for the results slide retry button that counts and only allows it to be enabled when the count reaches a number.

Check this link for the value trigger related to a button:
