How do I give IEP students extra time when classwork has to stay in class because of AI?
Teachers now lock online classwork behind access codes that change every period to stop AI cheating, but students with extended time accommodations cannot finish in class, and parents demand the codes for home.
Who has it: Middle and high school teachers using Canvas, Schoology or Google Classroom, and the special education case managers who write the accommodations.

An accommodation scheduler that gives each IEP student a supervised extra window (study hall, resource room, lunch) with a one time code tied to that room and time, and logs that the accommodation was delivered.
Tools that solve this
4 named so far, and where each one stops.
- LanSchool and GoGuardian
Lock devices during class, but do not schedule supervised extra time elsewhere.
- Canvas access codes and moderate quiz
Manual per student and per assignment, which teachers rotate by hand.
- LMS timed quiz extensions
Extend timers on quizzes only, not supervised completion windows for classwork.
- Study hall or resource room
Depends on staffing and nobody tracks whether the accommodation was delivered.
How you might build it
- 01LMS APIs (Canvas, Schoology, Google Classroom)
- 02Rotating one time codes
- 03Bell schedule and room mapping
- 04IEP accommodation import
- 05Compliance log
