Summative assessments do not give feedback initially.
From Rogo 7.2 a summative exam can be set to be 'remote' this allows the exams to be taken outside of exam labs. i.e. open book exams.
Locking papers and questions
Anchor | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
|
Up to thirty minutes before a summative assessment is due to be sat, any user with the correct permission can make changes to it or any of its questions. After that threshold passes, Rogo locks the paper and all the questions. The paper cannot be changed and neither can any of the questions.
Formative Assessment
Formative assessment is a generic term for exercises that allow students to measure their own progress. They also allow students to become familiar with Rogo and its question types. Answer feedback is very important for formative assessment.
...
A timed progress test's duration starts from when the student opens the test and concludes when the duration has expired or the student finishes early. Students can take progress tests any time up to leave and re-enter a progress test as many times as they like up until the expiry date or they click on finish.

Simply canvasses participants for their views on a number of topics.

- Calculate Random Mark: Rogo works out how a student would perform if they answered every question randomly. It then adjusts percentages accordingly. This is sometimes referred as 'monkey marking'. This option is disabled if negative marking has been used on the paper.
- 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.

From Rogo 7.2
A summative paper can set to be a remote summative:
The minim valid time is also displayed to the admin (highlighted in the image above).
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
Sets external reviewers and deadlines.
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.
