Steps

  1. Create the supplementary assessment activity, for example, an assignment or quiz 

  2. Create a group that you will use to restrict the activity. Note: Keep the group name inexplicit as students can see group membership 

  3. Add users to the group (only add students who have been offered the supplementary assessment) 

  4. Restrict access to the activity using the group created at step 2 

  5. Use the Fail or Holding Grade column in gradebook to indicate which students have been offered a supplementary assessment
