    • Std Set:  standard setting is being used for the paper.

The only users who can access a summative paper outside of the examination time are administrators and staff members.  Students may only access the examination during the scheduled time.

Security

  • Session:  controls which academic year the paper applies to.  Set to N/A for formative assessments.
  • Password:  puts an extra password on the paper which students need to enter.  This password can be given out during the lab
  • Time zone, Duration,Available from/to:  governs availability of the paper.  

Feedback

Controls what kind of feedback is available.  This varies between formative and summative assessments

Formative assessments make different kinds of feedback available:

  • Objectives Based:  Use this for formative assessments to give feedback to students how they have met their assessment targets as mapped to curriculum objectives
  • Class totals:  allows external examiners to view this report
  • Textual feedback:  The Above dropdown sets a threshold value above which a student will receive a feedback message depending on their score (a 'pat on the back').

Summative assessments allow the following feedback:

  • Objective based: as above
  • Question based: allows feedback on specific questions.  This is a very dangerous option that has been turned off by default and is controlled by a module-level switch.  As papers can be shared between modules, the switch must be turned on in every parent module for this to work.
  • Cohort performance:  allows students to see how they have performed relative to their peers.  Performance is plotted on a box-plot diagram
  • Class totals:  allows external examiners to see the class totals report for a cohort.  Examiners can then drill down to individual scripts.

Reviewers

You select internal reviewers and external examiners from a list. Internal reviewers come from all Rogo staff in the current school, external examiners comprise Rogo users with an external examiner role.
