[DG: Teaching & Learning] Test Question with Limited Views of Video Clip

[Lydia Li]

Robin,

     Hope you are enjoying life in UK.

     Re. your question, unfortunately there is no way currently to limit 
the number of times a video or an attachment can be viewed inside a 
question.   The closest discussion I had related to this topic was on 
limiting the time a student can answer an individual question (as 
opposed to a time limit for the entire assessment).  Stanford actually 
has an external tool integrated with Sakai that does that for our high 
stake foreign language oral assessment.
     I've not heard anyone asking to restrict students the # of times 
they could view a video or a document embedded inside a question 
before.   As far as I know, Stanford does not have any plans in the 
foreseeable future to work on this.  This sounds like a useful feature 
though.

thanks,
Lydia
