Set exam course

How should examiners handle the exam course until the exam date?
You should definitely hide the sections that contain the actual exam, i.e. set them to invisible, and additionally protect them with conditions, e.g. explanations about health etc..
You can also set the entire course to invisible, but then students will not see the course and may be confused as to where their exam is.
-
Are student assistants allowed to enter / maintain tasks in the pool?
Yes. They log in to the exam Moodle with their student staff account and are assigned the role "exam assistant".
The responsibility for the correctness of the tasks lies with the examiners.
-
How to set up disadvantage compensation (NTA) individually?
Compensation for disadvantages, e.g. a longer working time, can be set up directly in the Moodle test or in the Moodle assignment for each student. The option is called "Availability change for user" and refers to the allocation of a longer time for processing. Instructions: for the setting in the assignment module and for the setting in the test module.
-
Is it possible to include multimedia elements in the tasks?
Yes, wherever the editor is used, multimedia elements can be integrated with the functions there (image, audio, video, H5P). However, H5P still causes problems in several places in test questions, so this tool should not be used in exams.
-
How do you set the automatic submission of the exam?
This only works with the test module and is set in the general settings, see: Activity Create Test.
-
Are interim results automatically saved in Moodle?
Results and entries are saved in the examination Moodle automatically every 30 seconds or when the questions are changed. This means that data loss can be minimised to a large extent, even in the event of short-term connection problems. Nevertheless, in the case of free-text tasks, the last words typed may be lost. This is especially important when entering text online in the assignment module.
-
Is it possible to import tasks from another course?
Yes, you can import content from previous examination courses if you are enrolled in the other course with the role of course administrator, see: Create examination course / Import.
