- Big thing is adding new question types – adding calculated/algorithmic questions
- Currently, to share question pools between users requires import/export - can't do it staying within the authoring tool itself
- Copying question pools doesn't actually copy questions, it creates links SAK-3526
- During authoring the list of question-types available is not context-sensitive SAK-1379 – this could be a feature or a limitation depending on POV.
Reports
Minimal functionality at the moment.
- For example: School of Medicine wants to have "how long did student spend on each question"?
Importing/Exporting
Obviously, being able to bring existing quizzes and tests into SmartSite is crucial for all the current users of MyUCDavis Quizbuilder.
Currently, you can only import and export assessments to and from Samigo and MyUCDavis materials – even though it's QTI compliant, it's specific to Samigo. You can import assessments now from MyUCDavis to Samigo. You can also export/import assessments between sites within SmartSite.
One way: Samigo -> UCDavis.
Limitations:
- Can't export question pools yet, except with workaround – create a quiz that pulls a random selection from a pool, when export it exports all questions. Bug fix may make that no longer work.
- Calculated questions can't be imported from MyUCDavis
- Also, some things lost - documented in this gap analysis
- e.g. Matching questions in other systems have distractors may need a link/description
- MyUCDavis allows you
- There seems to be an upper limit on the number of questions you can have in a question pool SAK-61 – this may be an authoring limitation as well
Some things that are ahead in the import/export space:
On the horizon:
First thing: import question pools, which will take exported quizzes from Samigo. Key thing is that you can export a quiz and hand it to somebody else (share with other faculty), import to pool. Main thing, initially.
Second thing: export question pools and collections from MyUCDavis (new feature for MyUCDavis).
Futuristic:
In design phase: importing Respondus quizzes or question pools – the advantage of R. is that it's a nice authoring environment - desktop app, less than $100 a copy.
QTI: Interoperability standard. Predecessor to Common Cartridge. Distinct from Zach's effort to implement CC. Part of Sakai's committment to IMS standards for compatibility.
Consider expanding QTI import/export to look at IMS Content Packaging – includes capability to import/export media with a quiz, possibly importing/exporting subpools. Still gathering use cases from the community for this.
Common Cartridge: Still unclear when this will be incorporated into Sakai Foundation core. Prob. sign. work to draw into our world. But, it could make it possible to bring in various outside data...
Outside tool from Sakai Foundation, does migration via SiteInfo, long-term effort to bring in textbook publisher data, etc.
