Exams & Credentials
Exams
Create, release, take and evaluate exams — multiple-choice exam, written exam with free text or topics for papers.
A cosa serve#
An exam is the moment when learning counts. Lecturers put it together in a few minutes — with AI suggestions if they wish —, students take it in the browser, and the result lands in the achievement archive.
Come funziona#
Percorso di clicLecturerExam creationNew exam
- 1Lecturers: open “Exam creation” and create a “New exam”; choose the type (multiple-choice exam, written exam, paper topics) (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1 “Exam creation”: the created exams with type, course, number of questions and release status. - 2Write questions or have them generated from a topic under “Generate with AI” — the suggestions are appended, nothing is overwritten (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2 The editor of an exam: multiple-choice and free-text questions with answers, correct solution and assessment grid. - 3For free-text questions, store an assessment grid; it steers the AI pre-marking.
- 4Release: for a class in the course or via a link (guests enter their name, signed-in users take it under their account).
- 5Students: open “Exams” in the dashboard and take the exam; with proctoring, agree to the declaration first.
- 6View the results per exam; a shared link can be revoked at any time.
Impostazioni e interruttori#
- Attivabile per clientePredefinito: attivoModulo: Prüfungen
- The module “Exams” comprises exams, achievement archive and ECTS overview.
Three types of exam#
- Multiple-choice exam: questions with several answers, can be evaluated immediately.
- Written exam: free-text questions with an assessment grid; the AI suggests an assessment, the release lies with the teacher.
- Paper topics: issue topics; the submitted paper goes through the review check.
From draft to archive#
An exam is created as a draft, released and taken. Results flow into the student's achievement archive (grade, credit points). Passed exams produce exam certificates that can be verified publicly under an unguessable code.
In the campus, “Assessment rethought” shows what an exam without pure recall can look like; objecting to an assessment has its own procedure (“Objection procedure”).
Who may do what#
- Lecturers create and assess their own exams.
- The examinations office (administration) sees the exams and proctoring incidents of its own university and releases transcripts — never those of another.
- Students only see their own attempts and results.
Suggerimenti#
- The AI suggestion for a free-text assessment is a suggestion. A person confirms the assessment.
- A revoked exam link shows guests a friendly refusal instead of an error.
