Items API Initialization

Allocate a reading time period where learners can browse and read the assessment. During this time period, Questions are placed into a read-only state and pausing or submitting the assessment is disabled.

You would want to specify this option so that you can enforce an initial reading period before any Questions are attempted.

Examples

// Enable reading mode for 5 minutes with a warning when there is 1 minute left
var initializationOptions = {
    "config": {
        "configuration": {
            "reading_mode": {
                "goto_first_item_on_reading_time_completion": true,
                "reading_time": 300,
                "warning_time": 60
            }
        }
    }
};
