Purpose

Rogo allows control of which computers can be used to sit examinations.  Computers reside in a computer lab, and Rogo manages them through the Computer Labs screen.  

The screen lists computer labs alphabetically by site and then by lab name.  Clicking a lab selects it.  Double clicking a lab navigates to its home screen.


Functions

You manage a lab by double clicking the computer icon next to it.  Computers are listed in alphabetical order of computer name and display IP addresses as well.  Also, the lab location details are displayed.  

Labs can be edited by clicking Edit, which gives access to the same functions as the Create new Lab screen.

All IP addresses associated with the Lab are deleted.

 

Paper Types

Assigning labs to a paper is a security measure an is highly recommended when sitting formal exams. However, it is often the case that institutions want students to do some exams outside of a lab. This is possible for all papers types.

The only caveat is that a Summative exam does require some form of security as such is a lab is not set and password must be and vice-versa.
