Workflow
When the instructor opens the Samigo tool for the first time, s/he is presented with this screen:the screen shown below appears. To create a new assessment:
- Enter a title in the appropriate textbox
- Select the desired assessment type (for example, 'Survey', 'Test', or 'Quiz'), and
- Click the button labelled Create.
It's also possible to click on the button labelled Import, which will then allow questions to be imported from an existing question pool.
If the instructor clicks Create, she will be presented with a screen prompting her to enter the first question.
In addition to providing instructors with the ability to build assessments of the six built-in types: Formative Assessment, Problem Set, Quiz, Survey, Test, and Timed Test, the authoring tool also allows for these types themselves to be customized, and for new assessment types to be created. Of course, there is still plenty of functionality that could be added – and most of the effort out there in the community seems to be either fixing bugs with or adding new functionality in this space.
