Create examination organization[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Select examination organization[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

To start the exam organization, call up the desired course in which you want to organize the exam.

Important: Please make sure that you are only entered as a lecturer or assistant and not as a participant in the course at the same time!

First switch on the Edit.
Then click on "Create material or activity" under the desired topic/date.
In the next step, select the exam organization and then click on "Add".

Setting options[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Now you have several options for making settings in your exam organisation.

Exam organization (1): Enter the desired title here.
Description (2): Enter a meaningful description.

Additionally you can decide whether this description should be displayed in the course or not.

Password protection (3): Enter a password here if you want to limit access to the exam organization to other teachers or assistant teachers (e.g. your student tutors) of this course. These staff members must then first enter the password before they can access the content.
Clarification: Students will never be given access to critical content. At best, participants can only be granted access to the course date and their own results.
Further Settings (4): Here you can decide whether the exam organization on the course page should be visible or hidden for all students.
Then click on "Save and Show".

Set up examination organization[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

You will now be taken to an overview that automatically guides you through the necessary settings.

There are "Before the examination", "For the examination", "Examination date", "After the correction", "After the examination" and "Examination view (optional)". When you have made all the necessary settings, you will automatically proceed to the next point.

Before the examination[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

In the overview for "Before the examination" you can specify examination rooms, the examination date, the examination participants and the examination tasks.

Optionally you can write a free text field or a message to the students. Here you can also see which settings you still have to make mandatory.

You can also configure the clef by clicking on the yellow "i".

After correcting the examination, you can optionally enter the bonus note steps and the clef. The examination results must be entered.
