[samigo-team] Question about "in progress" indicator

[Ramachandran,Narasi]

We are seeing a couple of issues with our Samigo if someone can provide some pointers that will be great


  *   Misc questions if time permits  - is there a limit on pool/sub pool use before one starts seeing degradation of samigo? We have seen when we have an exam with 4 pools drawing for several sub pools fails to even show up in preview mode

  *   improved query for viewing sam given to groups, works for 1st iteration, significant degradation from 2nd site use - looking at query it seems to be trying to compile data from all sites that used the quiz as opposed to being site specific, if someone has been able to re-write the query to make it site specific that will be of great help.

  *   timer issue between pwd protected quiz VS non pwd protected quiz - if someone enters an incorrect pwd and hits the begin assessment the quiz starts but the user does not get into the exam by the time they resolve the pwd issues and come back to the quiz they lose the time

  *   multiple GB items when republishing quiz with IE anyone seen this? - we see this happen on with IE and this leads to several columns (somewhat proportional to number of times the instructors hit republish) once this happens the grades from the quiz does not make it to the gradebook.
Thanks all for any pointers on the above issue.
Regards,
Narasi

Hi Jim,

"in progress" not zero means there are assessments got started but not submitted yet. That is, once a student clicks "Begin Assessment", the "in progress" count will be increased by one. That count will remain like that until he/she submits the assessment. Do you see this behavior during your testing?

Thanks,
Karen

Hi Samigo team,

We've gotten reports from instructors that "in progress" is not
displaying accurately for published/active assessments. The use case
is that an instructor wants to change a published assessment, but
first tries to confirm that no students are currently taking the
assessment. The instructor sees zero for "in progress" and does the
edit, and then students subsequently report they were taking the
assessment.

I'm still waiting to get more detailed information from an instructor,
but in the meantime I'm trying to confirm how "in progress" gets
triggered. From my testing, it only gets triggered when a student
clicks the "Begin Assessment" button (the "in progress" tally is
increased by one) or when a student submits the assessment (the "in
progress" tally decreases by one). It doesn't get triggered by a
student saving/exiting an assessment.

So it seems one potential cause of confusion/inaccuracy is if
instructors believe "in progress" is an indicator of real-time
activity: when a student saves/exits the assessment, the "in progress"
tally doesn't change, regardless of whether the student then returns
to the assessment and begins working on it again. But this wouldn't
explain why an instructor would see zero for "in progress" when some
students were taking the assessment.

Thanks in advance if anyone can shed some more light on this, or share
a similar issue.

Best,
