Multiple Response (Grading Method: Right Less Wrong)

Multiple Response (Grading Method: All Points or None)

Algorithmic

Of note here is that the feedback models for Samigo are more numerous and flexible than for Respondus. Samigo offers both question-level and answer-level incorrect and correct feedbacks, depending on the question type. Respondus offers only general feedback except for true-false. This will make for fewer required translation points.
Also of note here is that Samigo does not curently support algorithmic question types. Respondus exports this question type as a .swf or Flash movie and the question text is actually the JavaScript launch code and the xml answer output is similar to a multiple-choice single-correct answer.
Finally, there are differences in grading method that should be noted in the gap analysis so that instructors understand the potential grading changes in their translations.
