Exam.UP bietet Ihnen die gleiche Auswahl an Fragetypen, wie auch Moodle.UP oder Open.UP. Eine Übersicht dieser Fragetypen (inkl. Ansichtsbeispiele) bietet Ihnen unserer Hilfe-Kurs: Fragetypen in Moodle. 

Das folgende Hilfe-Video erläutert die Erstellung von: Fragen in Exam.UP 

Allow sufficient time for creating exam questions and conduct tests to identify possible problems before the actual exam

Exam.UP offers you the same choice of question types as Moodle.UP or Open.UP. An overview of these question types (including view examples) is provided in our help course: Fragetypen in Moodle. (german) 

The following help video explains how to create: Fragen in Exam.UP  (german)

For the Moodle activities Test/Quiz and Assignment, self-declarations can be requested automatically. This option is only available in Exam.UP.

In the Test activity, click Edit Settings in Quiz Administration. In the tab "Extra restrictions on attepts", you can set the Students cognisance of plagiarism policy menu item to Require confirmation before starting test. This will prefix the following prompt to the test and the test cannot be taken until the statement has been confirmed: 

In the activity Assignment, you can set the option "Require that students accept the submission statement" must be confirmed to Yes in the Assignment administration in the "Submission settings" tab in order to query the declaration of independence.

Student identity should be verified prior to the start of the exam.

Identity verification before the start of the exam via Zoom.UP.

One permissible option is for students to hold up their student ID to the camera before the exam begins. However, for privacy reasons, it must be ensured that this is not done in a room where other students are already present. Therefore, online waiting room release should be used so that students can enter the meeting room individually and show their ID to then return to the waiting room. It should also be noted at this point that video recording of proofs is not permitted.

Since this process is nevertheless lengthy, an identity check can be done during the exam. To accomplish this, a task in Moodle (e.g. Exam.UP) can precede the actual exam. In this task, students are asked to upload a photo or scan of their PUCK (PotsdamerUniversitätsChipKarte). Access to the exam is thus only granted when the student complies with this. The actual identity check can then be done during the exam by matching the uploaded PUCK in the video conferencing system (e.g. Zoom.UP).

The photos/scans of the PUCK must be deleted after the exam is completed. Storage is not permitted.

According to the amended BAMA-O, repeated verification of identity is permitted during the respective performance recording.

For larger cohorts, it is recommended to open multiple meeting rooms and divide the group (e.g. alphabetically) to avoid time delays.

In any case, a declaration of independence/submission statement should be obtained.

The amended BAMA-O also regulates the procedure for video supervision of online examinations, according to which:

• Students must be informed which technical requirements are necessary for participation.
• A prior test of the technical requirements is to be made possible.
• Students are required to activate the camera and microphone function during the exam.

Furthermore, video surveillance must be set up in such a way that "the protection of personality and the privacy of the persons concerned are not restricted more than is necessary for the legitimate purposes of surveillance". For this purpose, and in order to generate as few distractions as possible for the examinees, it is advisable to use the Fokus-Modus(attention mode) offered by Zoom.UP.

As soon as the exam is unlocked (automatically/manually), students can start working on it. Students can submit the exam manually before the time expires; otherwise, you should select the settings for the exam so that it is automatically submitted with its current status after the specified processing time expires. 

Also, for Moodle exams, it is important to turn off the feedback of correct intermediate results to students while they are working on the exam. 

In the event that disadvantage compensation is to be granted, you can manually adjust the times for test opening and closing for individual students or groups of students.

To do this, please click on User changes or Group changes in the test administration. You can then select individual users or groups and adjust the corresponding times.

Each examination performance must be documented. For this purpose, it is necessary to save or print out the solutions or attempted solutions of the examinees.

In Moodle, the collected submissions of each student can be displayed on the website in a detailed form.  To do this, go to Results in Quiz-Administration and then click Results and Archive. The page that is then displayed contains all of the students' submissions. Please use the print function of your browser to save the page as a PDF.
