Differentiate for Every Student’s Needs With Accommodation Profiles on Quizizz

Note: Accommodation Profiles are currently in Beta.

At Quizizz, we recognize that every student can thrive if their unique learning needs are supported. And that is why we are pleased to introduce Accommodation Profiles! 

With this feature, you can provide specific accommodations to groups of students in your class. This means you can save time by assigning the same Assessment/Quiz to your whole class while ensuring you provide compliant scaffolded experiences for your students.

To learn about the different Accommodation Profiles available on Quizizz, check out this article: Explore Each Accommodation Profile on Quizizz.

How Accommodation Profiles work

Let’s say you’re assigning an Assessment/Quiz to your math class. With Accommodation Profiles, you can create groups within your class such that:

1. Sue and Derik receive an extra 30 seconds while answering questions, 
2. Jamal has the Read Aloud feature enabled, 
3. Sanjay, Beth, and Jon see reduced answer choices, 

and the remaining students in your class will experience the Assessment/Quiz using the regular game settings.

You can create as many groups as you need for a given class. These groups will be saved so you can reuse them in the future as well. You can always edit the groups by adding or removing students and modifying the accommodations.

Once your Assessment/Quiz is assigned, you can view the results for each participant in the Assessment/Quiz report. Additionally, you can view results per Accommodation group. 

Select your report and click on the ‘Groups’ tab. This will display the accuracy percentage and completion rate for each Accommodation group. You can also click on ‘View Students’ to view the accuracy and points for each student within a group. 

Note: If you assign an Assessment/Quiz to multiple classes, you cannot create Accommodation Profiles for all of them on the game settings page. You can only create/modify Accommodation Profiles for one class per game.
