This is a summary of the basic components that make up Rogos's content structure.
Categories
Categories contain a collection of courses or question banks, you can group your courses or question banks together in a category to more easily organise them.
Courses
You can register each student on one or more Courses, however, it does not have to be a full Course; for example, you can register them just for a set of mock papers. There are two types of Courses, ‘Test Engine/Assessment Only’, and ‘Online Course’.
Test Engine courses are used when you only want to include exercises in the course, while online courses can include learning materials, such as course books, revision guides, and audio or video content. The term ‘Course’ can be customised, for example, if you use the term ‘Qualifications’ or ‘Curriculums’ instead.
Chapters
Online courses will include chapters to easily allow students to work their way through the Course and view all materials in the intended order. You can also have ‘Right-hand Chapters’ which can be viewed separately from the main flow of the course, these are often used for additional materials like reading lists or a syllabus.
Exercises
Exercises consist of one or more papers, when a student starts an Exercise the system will pick an available paper at random, first making sure they haven't already taken it. Having more than one active paper reduces the chances of two students, who know each other, getting the same test.
You can manually adjust settings for each Exercise. Settings available for amendment include the length of the Exercise, welcome instructions, manual or computerised marking mechanisms and the length of time in which the paper should be marked etc.
The term ‘Exercise’ can be customised, for example, if you use the term ‘Modules’ or ‘Units’ instead.
Papers
Papers test the student’s knowledge through a series of questions in the same format as the final examination. Papers allow you to have different scenarios, one of which will be picked at random for the student when they start the Exercise. You can also have sets of question banks with question randomisation. Using this method will mean that you would have to create only one paper(or exam), as the question banks will create multiple question sets.
Versions
Papers are prepared as ‘versions’ so whenever it is updated or amended, it will automatically create a new version of the original paper. You can also use versioning to mark changes in your course material and compare success rates. Once you release a paper you cannot change it. You must create a new version, make your changes and then release it, which will replace the previous version.
