[Building Sakai] "Autosave" Feature for Tests & Quizzes

[Stoufer,R M]

Hi Jeff,
I believe you are referring to samigo.autoSave.repeat.milliseconds?
We have ours set to 5 minutes:
samigo.autoSave.repeat.milliseconds=300000
I haven't heard of any issues, performance wise, for us.

Subject: [Building Sakai] "Autosave" Feature for Tests & Quizzes

Is anyone here using an "autosave" (this is my
own terminology) feature/setting in their instance
of Sakai in order that when a test/quiz is in process,
if a person loses internet connectivity, power "blink",
etc., they do not completely lose their test results.

We understand their is a setting which would allow
us to "autosave" every few minutes to minimize lost
answers.

Any feedback on the use of this setting, what specific
interval you use, and has it affected the performance
(by too frequently polling/saving) of the individual's
exams and/or your overall Sakai instance?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff
