Online Exams via ILIAS
Teachers can conduct written online exams via a special examination environment in ILIAS
For the purpose of concluding the summer semester with appropriate online exams, the Communication, Information, Media Centre (KIM) will offer a separate examinations environment in ILIAS from the 29th June. From 2 July 2020, two different types of online examinations will be available:
Type 1: Remote or "Take Home" exam
You can use the ILIAS training module to conduct remote or "take home" exams based on the "download – work – upload" principle. Students will be required to download a file with exam questions, complete them offline and then upload their answers.
Pro: This type of examination comes with lower requirements in terms of studentsʼ technical equipment at home (e.g. internet connection) since candidates do not have to be online for the duration of the exam.
Contra: Automatic correction of single or multiple choice questions isnʼt available.
Type 2: Live online exams:
You can use the ILIAS test module to offer live online examinations where students have to be logged on to ILIAS for the duration of the exam to post their answers directly to ILIAS (e.g. single or multiple choice, attribution questions, open questions).
Contra: This type of examination comes with higher requirements in terms of studentsʼ technical equipment at home (e.g. internet connection) since candidates will have to be online for the duration of the exam.
Pro: Automated correction of single or multiple choice questions is available.
