from raulsv@um.es (via JMariano) patches
SAM-1197: multiple choice, multiple answer with penalty
SAM-1626: Add other kinds of input the question's point value and the questions's negative point value.
Michigan is piloting Samigo but is currently using Mneme for placement exams--upload result to student record system
  • Using Mneme for Spanish placement exams
  • Monitoring mneme events for the site which hosts the placement exam, catches student results and passes this as xml to our student records system.
  • Currently experiencing a small amount of pain due a bug in mneme where decimals of results are not being rounded correctly.
  • Most interested in seeing Yale's experience with Samigo as placement exam solution.  At what scale are they operating?
2.9.3--sam-973 is one item holding it up
2.10 beta this november--major new features. aim to release in March. See below.
