[Building Sakai] Chrome and samigo assessment time?

[David Minugh]

I believe we saw a similar situation with Firefox when we ran a timed diagnostic test in SAKAI, using the T&Q function. The net went down, and when it was up again after half an hour or so, the students' timers indicated that that half-hour had been counted, so they got a shorter time for the test. Unfortunately, I don't know what the server(s) recorded.
   At any rate, the expected behavior would be for the student test time to be extended accordingly, although I don't know how you'd solve it technically.

Subject: [Building Sakai] Chrome and samigo assessment time?

We had a student whose browser, Chrome, shut down for whatever reason about one hour into a two-hour timed exam in Samigo. When she restarted it and went back to the exam, it showed only about half an hour remaining. It should have shown one hour remaining. She took a screen shot, which showed the timer remaining at that point, and also her computer's clock (which showed the correct time of day). She submitted the exam when the timer ran out, missing out on about 30 minutes of test time.

According to the server, she still had an hour left, not 30 minutes, when she restarted her browser. So I'm wondering if this might be a problem with Chrome, or has this sort of thing happened with other browsers?
