Mark,
I use Proctortrack for our online PHYS 172 course. It does use a single slot,
and that is given to Proctortrack via the Blackboard Exam.
Student logs into Blackboard
Clicks on the Proctortrack link
After verifying identity, they click the Exam link and that redirects to
LON-CAPA
They were told the proctorusername, but then paste the password from
Proctortrack (never seeing it)
Then they take exam in LC as usual.
Works very well. No human proctor, all video based, so no scheduling needed for
students.

Does someone have a short description of the online proctoring process handy?
As Gerd mentioned, Examity has been used by MSU and knows how to do things, but
I?m about ready to send information to OIT, and using a system besides
ProctorTrack via Blackboard will probably be dissuaded.
What physically does the proctor do to interact with a student taking an exam?
Does this require the use of slots?

Yes.
Besides enabling lenient grading you need to set the: "Partially correct is
answerable" (retrypartial) parameter to "yes"

Thanks Doug! The syntax you sent, combined with code I wrote for a different
problem, allowed me to get something workable, although I still have two issues
to sort out:
1. How do I get the score for a problem part? I assume it?s
&stored_data(?partscore?,?partid?); where partscore is the name of a variable
holding the score for partid, but I do not know the variable name.
2. When I turn on lenient grading, it does not allow multiple attempts,
even if tries < maxtries. Is that normal?
By the way, is there documentation somewhere with a list of parameters, like
maxtries, and data variables, like tries? I think I could figure my way through
this without bugging the listserv if I had such a document?

Hi Gene,
The code I pulled from a quiz I coded and may perhaps give you the right idea:
<block condition="($current==2) || ($answer_available)">
In your case you will probably want to make the condition either than question
1 has been answered correctly or that all the tried have been used. I can
track specifics down for that if needed but perhaps the example is enough to
get you on the right track?

Hi,
I am working on a problem for an upcoming exam. In the past I have just done it
via paper exam, which was fine until now. (I did plan to do it in LON-CAPA
someday, but thanks to Corona, someday is now here.)
The problem starts with an optionresponse. After the student answers it, I want
to show a radiobuttonresponse problem, then show a figure and a matrix equation
containing 15 parts. In the past I have used the ?display-one-part-at-a-time?
feature, but the catch is that the matrix equation has 15 parts in it, and I
need to show the figure and all 15 parts of the matrix equation at the same
time, right after the radio button problem.
I suspect I can do it with a <block></block> tag, but am having trouble finding
examples of conditional expressions and variables that I can use inside the
<block> code. Does anyone know of a good resource for that info, or know the
parameters and syntax I need to use? I have explored the authoring guide and
LON-CAPA online help, done web searches, and looked through YouTube, all to no
avail?

Hi Doug, Stuart,
Thanks! That was the missing piece I needed. I thought I found what I needed in
&check_status(?partid?) on page 29 of the Author Manual, but it does not work
well when using both lenient grading and retrypartial. (I did eventually figure
out that I needed to add retrypartial.) In that case check_status returns 1
even if the answer is only partially correct. Because of that, I was not able
to craft a conditional expression to do what I needed.
The data value ?awarded?, however, is a floating point value between 0 and 1
indicating how much credit was awarded. It works even when using both lenient
and retrypartial.
Thank you both for your help. All I need to do now is add a few more comments
and it will be done.
Best regards,
