General Information

Digital Examinations
With the amendment of the LGH (State Higher Education Code) as of 01 Jan 21, the legislator created new regulations that also enable the performance of written and oral online examinations via video supervision. On the basis of the new regulations, the various forms of digital examinations were incorporated into the framework examination regulations as "online examinations" (with the exception of the GymPO, where digital examinations via video supervision continue to be regulated via the Corona Statutes.
Written Online Examinations
On these pages you will find instructions and guides on technical implementation options using the university infrastructure.
  • Find out about the different scenarios and decide which form of examination is suitable for your examination scenario.
  • Please take note of the associated guidelines and instructions for implementing the scenarios, as well as the ILIAS course templates provided, which you will find at the bottom of the page.
Oral Online Examinations
  • Oral examinations can be taken by video conference at the request of the students without the examinees having to be at the university. Regulations on online examinations are included in the Corona Statutes (7th Amendment Statutes of 13 July 2021).
  • Please also note here that oral online examinations are only permitted if the electronic information and communication systems used for this purpose are operated by the Albert Ludwig University or by third parties on its behalf.
  • For the University of Freiburg, this means that oral online exams are to be conducted using BigBlueButton as the system operated by the university. In case of technical problems, Zoom can be used as long as the University of Freiburg provides Zoom licenses.

Detailed overview of the different examination scenarios

Please note that for summative exams with the ILIAS test object (exam forms 3 and 4) you should only use the e-exam server ILIAS-exam (login with university account). Only there can we ensure an appropriate stability of the server and comply with the required storage periods.
Within the framework of the E-Examination service, which is offered jointly by the E-Learning and E-Science service centers, electronic examinations can also be offered in presence, either as pure on-site exams or as hybrid exams.

Definition: What is an upload exam and when is it best to use this form?

The paper-based online "upload exam" is the counterpart to a classic paper-based exam under supervision (here: video supervision via ZOOM). Participants will be asked exam questions, which they will solve independently in the allotted time, handwritten on paper. The students scan/photograph their solution at the end of the processing time and upload it to the examination session on the learning platform ("ILIAS-Lehre"). The correction of the exam is done by the teacher on a paper printout.

2.A. Definition: OpenBook exam - paper

In a paper-based "OpenBook" exam, students are asked exam questions which they solve independently, handwritten on paper, in the allotted time.  The questions are usually designed for application or transfer knowledge, and students can use aids. There is no proctoring for OpenBook exams. The students scan/photograph their solution at the end of the processing time and upload it to the examination event on the learning platform ("ILIAS-Lehre"). The correction of the examination is done by the lecturer on a paper printout.

In a computer-based OpenBook exam, the questions are usually provided as "free text questions" in an ILIAS test. However, questions using the answer choice method (MC/SC) are also possible. The students answer the questions directly online in the examination system "ILIAS-Exam". They work on the exam independently and without supervision within the given time. The exam is digitally corrected directly in the "ILIAS-Exam" examination system.

Definition: What is a time pressure exam and when is it best to use this form?

In a "time pressure exam", mainly multiple & single choice questions (rarely free text) are provided electronically in an ILIAS test. The students answer the questions directly online in the examination system "ILIAS-Exam". The students complete the exam in the given time without supervision. The amount of questions must be coordinated with the available processing time in such a way that it is not possible to add unauthorised aids.
