Invigilator Task - Managing Exam Times

Purpose

Timed exams give an invigilator more to do.  The Exam Screen differs in that it has a green Start button. 

Starting an Exam

  1. The invigilator waits for all students to log-on to Rogo
  2. The invigilator clicks the Start button and tells students to begin
  3. The end time for the exam is set to the exam's duration plus the start time:
  4. Any extra time allowed for the student is added onto that student's exam time and displayed in the Extensions column of the student list.

Extending an Exam

Setting a new End At time in the drop-downs shown above and clicking the End At button allows invigilators to compensate for any delays due to lab problems.  This then changes the End Time in the top-right corner and also below the name of the paper.

Important
