Digital Exams: from Supervised Rooms to Students' Computers, Liisa Kallio
The Finnish concept for digital assessment called EXAM has been in use for over 6 years. Since the concept is based on exams taken in standardised exam rooms and on customised workstations, the COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020 brought a huge challenge also to the EXAM consortium when almost all campuses and rooms were closed.
This presentation discusses the pandemic impact on digital exams and how our consortium responded to the situation.
Outcomes:
Learn:
- how the COVID pandemic affected the use of electronic exams in Finnish higher education
- how the service was further developed
- experiences of the first pilot of byod exams in the EXAM service
