As a result of this design decision, the process of creating an assessment also requires each question to be entered one-at-a-time and on its own screen. This means that there's no easy way for an instructor to simply copy and paste a list of questions that she's written up in a word processor. This strikes me as the biggest hurdle on the authoring side, since the awkwardness of this current method pushes it closer to the 'power-user' side of things and makes the hurdle bigger for non-technical instructors who simply want to put their existing paper assessments online. The choice in designing Samigo has obviously been to sacrifice ease-of-use for comprehensiveness of functionality, and I think this will ultimately limit the number of instructors who are willing to use the tool.

Tasks/Feature Requests

• There's some interest in sharing assessment types so they could be modified on a departmental basis, for example SAK-5199 and SAK-3526
• Request for more flexibility to accommodate students with special needs - allow instructor to adjust time available on a student-by-student basis SAK-3427

Limitations

• 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.
• Performance problems when clicking on 'Add Part' SAK-5323
