RE: Use of Respondus

[k ellis]

Hi Mathieu,

I seem to remember from a presentation at the last Sakai conference that Samigo is QTI v 1.2 compliant. Can Respondus export this type?

Subject: Use of Respondus

Hi,

At the University of Delaware, we have had a campus license with Respondus for a while. Our faculty member enjoy creating their quizzes in Respondus and exporting them to their WebCT courses. Through the GA Tech utility, most faculty members who had quizzes in WebCT were able to migrate them to Sakai.

As WebCT is being phased out, we are in the process of rethinking about this campus agreement. Respondus supports all other major LMSs, even Moodle, but not Sakai. Do any of you use another quiz-aid? Is there one that's compliant with Sakai?

Best Regards,

Hi, Mathieu:

Although not released to Sakai yet (it's fresh out of the oven here on
Etudes central-land), we have support for offline question authoring and the
ability to paste and import properly-tagged questions right into Mneme -
Test Center.

I don't know of the advantage of authoring in Respondus, as opposed to a
plain text editor (a good question for your faculty), but I wanted to let
you know that we support paste and import from Respondus exports, with minor
adjusting (stripping of blank lines within Respondus questions). The only
Respondus question not supported is uneven matching questions. We support
all Mneme question types, except task and likert-scale.

For a sneak preview of the format specifications and sample questions, see:
http://etudes.org/mneme/paste-and-import-instructions.htm

We will work on QTI 1.2 import / export support for Mneme, following the
Respondus QTI implementation later this spring. In the meantime, we are
moving onto offering support for 'export' of one or more question pools to
text files (same format).  

Feel free to contact me directly with any questions.

Best,
Vivie
