The Rogō OSS project will package an in-house e-assessment tool for wider re-use under an open source licence. We will support the transfer of Rogō to five HEIs and promote the creation of an open source community around it. The aims of this 12 month project are to update, promote and create support materials to facilitate the release of Rogō as a publically available open source e-assessment tool. In particular to create, as a community, a leading e-assessment management system that is scalable, secure, re-useable and extensible.
