We recommend to our faculty to create quizzes where students see one
question per page. Every time they hit the next button, the answers get
saved.

Hi Jeff,
I know there has been some discussions going on about this in the past
few days. See the messages with the subject line about samigo assessment
time. Essentially, the student will be able to continue from the
auto-save point but the amount of time remaining will be based on when
testing began. There is no way for the test to differentiate between a
network outage and someone logging out/logging back in.

Hi Michael:
Thanks for your reply. It was suggested
to us to set it to five minutes as well.
In your experience, say a 60-minute exam,
if a student lost internet connectivity or
power "blink" at 43 minutes, once the
student logs back into Sakai:
1. Does Sakai allow the person to continue
from the 40-minute "autosave" point?
2. If a 60-minute exam, would the student
have 20-minutes left? 17 minutes? or
60-minutes less any elapsed time from
the actual start time (including the
"downtime")?
Thanks again,
Jeff

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
