Digital Examination: An Overview

Updated on

This article provides an overview of Digital Examination possibilities. Which tool might best suit your needs depends on a couple of things. For example:

  • Do you want to assess with open or closed questions?
  • Do you want to check on plagiarism?
  • Do you want to enable remote proctoring?
  • Are you going to evaluate the examinations with your colleagues?

Therefore, we highly recommend you to contact your Teaching Support team at your Faculty, before setting up a digital examination. They can help you plan and set up your digital examinations and give you advice on which tool you should use, based on your needs.
