New Quizzes - Allow Students To Take Quiz at an Alternate Time

Canvas allows teachers to set up quizzes for students to take the same quiz at different times if needed.

Provided the student hasn't started or submitted the quiz already, this would be used to allow a makeup or missed quiz or to allow a student the opportunity to take it earlier.

This article is from the point of view that the teacher already knows how to create a quiz.
