Doug,
... There does not seem to be
any way to prevent a student in a teacher-assigned slot from also
selecting a student-selected slot. Am I missing something?
For each of the student-schedulable slots, set the start and end dates
in the "Period of time when this slot can only be uniquely chosen"
settings to bracket both the time period when the instructor-assigned
slot is open, and also the time the student-schedulable slot is open.
In that case a student will thereafter not be able to make a
reservation for the student-schedulable slot for that resource (as the
instructor-assigned one will already be in place). If a student tries
to make a reservation a message: "Already have a reservation" will be
displayed.
Note:
If a student has already made a reservation for the
student-schedulable slot before the instructor-assigned slot is
assigned to the resource, the instructor must remove the reservation
for Settings > Slots for the particular slot (click "Edit" for
particular slot, and use "Remove" in the "Scheduled Students" column).
Setting the "Slots of availability [Part: 0] (available)" does not
currently automatically remove any prior student-selected slots for
the same resource.
If you prefer not to set "Period of time when this slot can only be
uniquely chosen" for the student-schedulable slot you could also use
the "Restrict slot availability" settings for the slot to restrict use
to particular users.
Currently, you can only indicate which users should be included, so
you must check checkboxes for all students who are permitted to use a
particular slot (there is no allow all except ...).
As an alternative, you could create a group of users, and then not
assign membership for the users who should not be able to reserve. In
the "Restrict slot availability" settings for the slot, the list
checkboxes below "Select sections to limit slot availability to"
includes both sections and groups. You would check the checkbox for
the group you created.
Note: when you change group memberships for a user, if the user is
currently logged in, he/she must click "Check for changes" on the
Courses/Roles screen for the group change to be in effect in the
user's session.

HI All,
I understand the rationale for being able to limit students to
selecting only one student-selectable slot within a given timeframe
as well as the fact that that is not needed in the case of
teacher-assigned slots. However, we have a use case where most of
the
students are using student-selected slots (and can only choose one
of
a couple of options) but SOME students -- ones taking conflict exams
or who require special accommodations are being assigned into
teacher-assigned slots for the same exam. There does not seem to be
any way to prevent a student in a teacher-assigned slot from also
selecting a student-selected slot. Am I missing something? I guess
in the case of a timed exam, IF a student who requires special
accommodations or a conflict exam signed up for a regular slot and
we didn't catch it and then somehow got a sneak preview before their
special slot time, they would have run down their available time to
do the exam anyway. Still, it would be nice to be able to prevent
such things from occurring as honest or confused mistakes. Is that
possible? OR would you recommend handling this a different way?
Thanks!
