Examination Scenarios

General information

Online written examinations
Due to the ongoing corona situation, the legislator created new regulations by amending the LHG as of 1 Jan 21, which also allows for online written examinations to be conducted via video proctoring. The new regulations were included in the 7th amendment statute of the Corona Statutes of 13 July 2021 (§3 ff).
On these pages you will find instructions and guidelines 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.
Online oral exams
  • 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).
  • For planning and implementation, please note the information sheets and application forms of the Legal Department in"Information sheets and applications" on the central Corona pages of the university.
  • In principle, there is no legal entitlement to the performance of study and examination activities using electronic information and communication technologies.

Detailed overview of the different examination scenarios

     

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.

2.B. Definition: OpenBook exam - computer

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.
