[Building Sakai] How to do tests with samigo without acces to the rest of sakai

Tue May 5 04:21:15 PDT 2009

Hi all,

My proposal was to create a site for Samigo sites in addition to the "regular" site. In this way, they can do quizzes at "assessment" site and access to contents and other tools at their "regular" site.

Sergio, is this what you wanted? Anyway, Lydia suggestions sound very good.

David

David, Lydia, thank you.

Lydia is right. That is what we need, so that what David is proposing, we can not implement. ☹

Yes, all the students are taking the test during a fixed time period. For a couple of hours to be precise. The idea of hiding the resource files is not bad. I suppose that can be programmed to do something on a massive scale even.

Hmmm…. We can create and assign a new role while the studentes are taking the tests…
The role would not have permissions to resources, chat, Melete, forums, etc..
But I can’t find how to remove read permissions to some tools like syllabus, glossary , dropbox, messages…
Is this possible?

What think about this way?

Thank again!
Saludos,
Sergio

David,

    Thanks for helping out.   Did you mean to take the students out of the old site and put them into a new site that only has the Samigo tests?   I think Sergio only wanted to block students' access to other Sakai tools,  such as course's materials,  when  they are in the middle of taking a test.  The students should still be able to  access course materials when they are not taking the test.  If you put the students in a new site that only has Samigo tests, they would not be able to access the course materials when they are not taking a test.  I'm not sure if that's what Sergio wants.

Sergio, are all the students taking the test during a fixed time period, say, within a certain week? If so, you could hide the materials for that week.   My guess is that you were probably asking for something more complicated.  Unfortunately I can't think of any better ways now.

thanks,
Lydia

 Hi Sergio,

 This David Rold�n Mart�nez from Universidad Polit�cnica de Valencia (Spain). Maybe this workaround can be useful for you. I haven't tested it but I think it should work. :)

 Every quizz has a public url. You can create a site and include only a set of these urls. In this way, students only will have acces to quizzes. But...the only type of resource you can include oin the quizz have to be public.  Lydia, do you think this will work?

 Hope this helps.

 David

Thanks Lydia.

Yes, the idea is to block a particular user immediately and just do the

exam. Thus creating a new role is not practical.

The problem is that teachers do not want students to have access to course's

material while they are doing the exam.

There is no way to do this? Any other idea?

Saludos,

Sergio

Hi,

Is it possible to deny access to the rest of the tools for a single user

that is doing a test with samigo?

My only idea would be to create a new role via Realm for the site that

only has permissions for Samigo checked, and assign the students to this

role, but I'm not sure if that would work for you.

Are you asking if there was a way to immediately block a particular user

access to other sakai tools as soon as he/she starts taking a test in

Samigo? I'm not sure if there is a way...  Others might have some ideas.

thanks,

Lydia

Thanks!
