Manage Modules

Purpose

A module in Rogo is  an assessed component of a course that contributes to the candidate's degree.

Rogo keeps its own independent register of modules.  It manages these through the Administrative Tools interface:

You may create modules in this list.  You may also edit and delete modules after first selecting them.

Current Module

Edit Module

  • Module ID:  Unique code for the module
  • Name:  Plain English description of the Module
  • School:  Dropdown organised by faculty and then school.  Only Schools are selectable
  • SMS API:  Student Management Systems can be integrated with Rogo and will display in this drop down. An example plugin is plugin_cs_sms. If enabled the IMS Enterprise integration is also listed here.<no lookup> is the default when no integration is required.
  • Academic Year Start:  Format should be MM/DD
  • Objectives API:  Allows mapping to an external objectives system. Currently Nottingham University only.. Curriculum Map (UoNCM) - Session  level, Curriculum Map (UoNCM) - Module level, Networked Learning Environment (NLE) - Session level are all permissible options. <no lookup> is the default when no integration is required.
  • Summative Checklist: series of checkboxes specifying available summative options such as Peer ReviewExternal ExaminersStandards Setting and Mapping. The summative checklist appears on summative papers only and acts as a memory jogger for setters. See Managing Papers for more details.
  • Active:  whether or not the module is currently being taught
  • Allow Self-Enrol:  Some Formative modules allow arbitrary Rogo users to enrol themselves.  See Self-Enrolment for more details
  • Negative Marking:  Negative marking can be applied in some medical school questions for wrong answers
  • Timed exams:  allows you to set a time limit for each exam
  • Question-based feedback:  when enabled, allows staff to enter feedback for each question.  Typically used in formative exams
  • Add team members: If set allows module members to arbitraily add people to the Rogo Team associated with the module.
  • Sync enrolments for previous academic year: Useful if you have a cohort who take their exams in a different academic year to the one they are enrolled on. FROM ROGO 7.1
  • External ID: Identiifer for the module in a linked external system (See SMS API above)
