Handling Absences and Making up RATS

This article will show you how to accommodate students who were absent and are making up for RATs.

Some students might need to make up for a missed RAT activity due to absences or late enrolments.

A teacher can accommodate making up RATS through the following steps:

Duplicate / Make a copy of the activity.
Set a password upon publish and only give the password to the students who will take the make-up test.
Publish and run the activity asynchronously or synchronously.

Here are the screenshots of the process:

You can also rename the activity as {ActivityName-MakeupTest} to easily distinguish it from the original.

Click 1-Basic Settings, change the name of the activity, click "Go to Question" to save.

You can choose to keep the previous TYPE and ACTIVITY DURATION or set it differently depending on when and how the students will be taking the make-up test.
Set the STUDENT'S ACCESS PASSWORD on the box. Any password can be typed-in.
Click "Publish Activity" to save and publish.

Find your set password from the ACTIVITY SETTINGS in the activity's dashboard.
You can monitor logins from the ATTENDANCE box. The avatar will turn green when the student has entered the test.
Download the grades and manually add it in your main Grades spreadsheet.

They will have to enter the password of the activity.
Once the correct password is entered, the "Take the Test" button will activate and the student(s) can start answering the RAT.
