How to add an ExamSys Self Assessment Paper

 This refers to Moodle 4.3 from August 2024 onward.

You can use the External Tool activity to add an ExamSys self assessment link in Moodle. Once started, the ExamSys (formerly called Rogo) assessment will run in a new window. 

The External Tool method can only be used with Campus modules where there is a matching module in ExamSys. For other modules such as Parent modules you need to add a URL link for the relevant ExamSys paper.

Adding an ExamSys Self Assessment Paper to your module

1. From the 'More' menu in your module, under the module title, choose LTI External tools.
   
   
   
   
2. In the External Tools window, flip the toggle button for ExamSys to 'Show in activity chooser'.
   
   
   
   
3. Use the toggle button (top right of your module) to turn on Edit mode.
   
   Edit mode off
   
   
   Edit mode on
   
   
   
4. In the section/topic in which you would like to add the ExamSys (formerly called Rogo) Self Assessment paper, click on + Add an activity or resource
   
   
   
   or  (click on the + icon that appears when you hover over the line separating existing activities or resources anywhere within the section).
   
   
   
   Search the Activity Chooser for ExamSys
   
   
   
   
   
5. This will open a new page where you will need to enter a 'Activity name' and  (optionally) a 'Description'.
   Adjust any of the other settings as required and click on the 'Save and return to module' button when ready.
   
   
   
   Note: Settings in the Privacy section do not need to be amended. ExamSys grades will appear in the Moodle Grade book. The synchronisation, however, is not instantaneous, so we recommend that you set up papers well in advance.
   
6. This will take you to a page where you are asked to log into ExamSys.
   
   
   
   
7. You will be shown a list of papers that are available in ExamSys for the current module. These can be the Formative self assessments or Progress Tests.
8. Select the paper you want to include as a link in your Moodle module and click 'OK'.
   
   
   
   
9. You will then be presented with the paper you have chosen to allow you to check it is the correct one.  If it is not the correct paper, you will need to repeat the above process and delete this one from your module.
