draft in progress

We are becoming more aware of differences between URL based version of tests that can be accessed independently and the framed versions that appear when you click them from the assessment list. This is because lesson builder and the schedule integration both feature the URL versions of these tests. In general, we are trying to make the URL based version of the test to more closely resemble the framed version.

The following is a proposal

(remove Submit: SAM-1544)
(add exit: SAM-1529


SAM-1068 removes "Continue" and specify where Continue goes?

or have a "Close button"

reasoning

 

"Submit for Grading" should be on the last question only. We are guessing Submit was added to every question of the URL-based test because of anonymous surveys--participants should have option to submit what they have answered so far if they decide they do not want to finish, but we really don't think the submit button is necessary on every question for non-anonymous survey (although SAK-2707 wants to remove it from anonymous too)

Also, the student should be able to exit without recording answers in both versions of the test. However, SAM-1068 removed all buttons that simply took you back to the list of assessments because that didn't make sense, so where would exit take you? Perhaps it should close the tab, or add a button called "Close" instead of "Exit."

Review results

proposed

strictly speaking, we might want to add Submit to first question to make it look like the URL based test/survey

SAK-1670 indicates that people didn't want to call last button "Submit for Grading" since it would be used for anonymous surveys and this would give the impression it wasn't anonymous. It was marked as fixed, but was this reversed by SAK-15783?

Also, is Save relevant if you can't come back to assessment?

If test is set with retract date and Automatic submission is selected, then a student who has saved a test but not submitted it start the test a second time by going to the URL before retract date but doesn't complete before that date will see this when they click a button after date passes

student currently appears to have submitted if instructor happens to remove in the middle of a student taking a test. however instructor obviously will have no record. This is an extreme case not likely to occur.

current: after due date

No late submission: The due date for this assessment has passed and late submissions are not allowed. Please contact your instructor if you have any questions. Click "Return" to return to the Assessments page.

To replicate, add due date and make sure late submissions are not accepted. Start test as student but don't submit until after due date

current: assessment autosubmitted?

(do not know what set of circumstances causes this error to appear--if a user has a saved test and begins a second attempt before retract date, but submits it after retract date, they get Assessment no longer available message above)

Data Discrepancy

 

To replicate, user starts test in two browsers. Clicks submit for grading after the last question in the first browser to go to AssessmentSubmission Warning, then clicks next in the first
(Time expired)
Data Discrepancy
You are seeing this page because there might be a discrepancy between which of your answers actually got saved versus what you believe got saved. Two common causes of this discrepancy are:

  • When the same assessment is taken in multiple windows
  • When a user did not save his answers before a timed assessment expired
    In both cases, which answers actually got saved depended on when a user last clicked Next *or *Exit 
    If you are taking the assessment in multiple browser windows, close all windows except one
