Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - E-Assessment

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.

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.

Since enrolment takes place before admission, this cannot and should not be prevented. Shortly before the exam, it is therefore necessary to compare the registration list from Agnes with the list of registered students in the Moodle course.

To do this, open the student overview and click on the link "Show all xxx students" at the bottom of the list and select all students. Then select the export format (e.g. csv or xlsx list) in the pop-up menu next to "Persons ..." at the bottom of the overview. This will give you a table with first and last names, email address and matriculation number. After the comparison, you remove non-admitted students from your examination course.

Yes, but the account must be created manually for these students (see Formal preparation).

For this purpose, as an examiner, please write an e-mail to the e-examination support (e-pruefungen-support@cms.hu-berlin.de) in which you state the course link, first and last name, e-mail address of the respective (Berlin) university and, if applicable, the matriculation number, so that the account can be created and the person can be enrolled in the corresponding examination course immediately.

You implement the answer-choice method with the test module. You can use the following question types, among others:

• Multiple choice with the option "Allow only one answer" (single choice),
• Multiple choice "All or nothing",
• Matching question,
• Drag & Drop on text or on picture,
• Cloze.

Save the tasks that are to form random alternatives together in a directory in the question collection (see course settings: "Question collection" / "Categories" or "Questions"). If the students are to receive one of three alternative tasks for task 1, save these three tasks in the directory "Task 1", for example. If the same procedure is to be followed for Task 2, save the three alternatives for Task 2 e.g. in a directory "Task 2".

Now click on the test that is to contain the random questions. Click on the cog, then on Edit test content --> Add --> Add random question.

Now select the directory from which the questions are to be drawn at random (in the example "Task 1"). Proceed in the same way for Task 2 and all other tasks that are to contain random questions.

You can, for example, change roles in the examination Moodle. Alternatively, you can register a student assistant as a participant in the course.

You can also apply for a (second) account for yourself as a so-called test account at the e-examination support in order to test the examination procedure in the role of a participant.

It is advisable to agree on standardised test courses in the department in which the general functions of an examination course can be tried out:

• Conditions for the activation of an examination
• Download of examination questions (assignment module), if necessary
• Processing of the test module (question types, if applicable, submission and time delay at the beginning)
• Upload of files (incl. conversion of formats, if applicable)
• Video conferencing, communication during the exam

These courses are created in the examination Moodle under mock examinations in the course area of the institution and are thus permanently available.

Basically, when setting up the activity HU Zoom Meeting in the examination course under the item "Meeting Options", the default settings should be kept. It is particularly important here that no (!) tick is set for "Authenticated users only". This enables data-saving access to HU-Zoom, which is particularly desirable from a data protection point of view.

As an alternative to using the plug-in, a link for access via browser (anonymous access) must always be provided.

es, see: "Questions before the exam". How these can be integrated into your own examination course as a "Moodle test" prepared by the support team from the template course is explained here: Importing templates into the examination course.

This template does not cover the actual approved aids. You should already publish this information visibly in the examination course before the exam.

It is best to include the questions before the exam as a pre-prepared Moodle test provided by Moodle Support.

How to integrate them as a "Moodle test" prepared by the support team from the template course is explained here: Importing templates into the examination course.

There is a note under "Questions before the examination" that attempts at cheating lead to failing the examination.

In principle, technical and, above all, content-related indications can lead to suspicion of cheating, which must be submitted to the responsible examination board for a decision.
