Event Assess API

time:change

Fires each time the assessment timer is updated, usually once per second by default when the assessment is not paused.

You would want to be notified about this event firing, because you might want to perform an action at a specific point in time for the assessment.

Examples

itemsApp.on('time:change', function (timeElapsed) {
    console.log('This code executes each time the assessment timer is updated.');
});

Callback arguments

  • timeElapsed integer
    The time elapsed in seconds.

Caveats

This event will not fire during the reading time of the assessment.
