MyUCDavis Export - Samigo
...
Import Summary
The question type comparisons listed below compare the MyUCDavis question types with their equivalent in Samigo.
- Samigo lists 3 additional question types that do not exist in MyUCDavis: Survey, True-False, and File Upload. The first two question types are simply variations on multiple choice questions. The File Upload is a paragraph/essay question with file upload function automatically added.
- MyUCDavis has one question type with no equivalent in Samigo - calculated question type.
While there are many equivalencies between the two systems, there are slight differences and there are a few minor bugs with the Samigo import process which prevent the import of question parameters. These differences are noted as follows.
IMPORT QUESTION POOL LIMITATIONS
- Import question pools only works for single-section xml files - if you export a mult-section quiz, it will not import any of the questions. This is due to pending determination of how Samigo will handle export/import of subpools, possibly using Content Packaging; discussion of this issue is scheduled for Atlanta and is partly dependent on faculty feedback.
QUESTION POOL BUGS
Sakai v2.1.x
- Order by Question Text in this version does not work. Questions are displayed in the same order they are imported in (if imported.)
- Order by Question Type only works in descending order.
Sakai v2.2.x - 2.3.x
- Order by Question Text is forced in this version, i.e., imported questions will not appear in the order which they are imported (unless the order is already alphabetical.)
QUESTION TYPE COMPARISONS
PARAGRAPH/ESSAY QUESTIONS:
*Quiz Builder and Tests & Quizzes are comparable for this type of question.
...
- Quiz Builder allows you to set how many correct or incorrect answers to display from a pool of answers, while Tests & Quizzes displays all possible answer to the student.
Suggestion: If you have a large pool of possible answers, you may want to pare down the pool after import. - Cumulative grading for multiple correct answers does not exist in Tests & Quizzes, so students must select all correct answers to score the question as correct.
- If you want to display the answers to a multiple choice question randomly, you must set each question to 'Randomize Answers' in Tests & Quizzes after import.
- Survey questions are a special type of question in Tests & Quizzes. If your multiple choice question was meant to be a survey question, you may wish to experiment with this new question type.
