Items API Initialization

Specify the action taken when the time limit max_time expires.

You would want to specify this option so that you can enforce a submission when the assessment timer runs out.

A "hard" limit shows a warning dialog for the learner and forces them to submit the assessment, while a "soft" limit has no action. By default, learners can continue working on the assessment after the time has run out.

Examples

// Set various assessment timer options:
// 1. Set the maximum time for the assessment to 10 minutes
// 2. Enable the warning indicator when 60 seconds remains
// 3. Force the assessment submission when the time has run out
// 4. Show the timer counting down from the total assessment time
