Scenario
In this exam setting students take their exams on a computer in a university computer room which has been set up for this task. The students answer a test (quiz) with closed and/or open questions using Moodle https://esamionline.unitn.it/my/ .
In this type of exam, the quiz is set up using an IP address check so it can only be taken using the computers in one particular computer room, and students are not able to access the internet.
The lecturer invigilates the exam by being present in the room for the whole of the exam.
Once finished, students send the completed test by clicking ‘send’ at the bottom of the screen, which saves their answers. If the allotted time should end before this occurs, the computer system will automatically save the answers that have been written.
Each session can involve a large number of students since it is possible to book the computer room for several consecutive sittings of the exam.
Before the exam
Before the exam session, lecturers and students must complete certain activities well in advance.
Lecturers need to:
- read the guidelines for the management of exams in a computer room setting (please see the document at the end of this page);
- book the computer room(s) following the procedure used in their department;
- inform students of the date and time of the exam via the usual channels (Esse3, Moodle noticeboard, message from lecturer);
- put the test in Moodle on the exam page for the relevant course https://esamionline.unitn.it/my/;
- check well beforehand with the FormID office the correct details of the exam, in particular the date, starting and finishing times, access via enrolled students in Esse3 (or other previously arranged procedures), room number and browser control settings.
Students need to:
- enrol for the exam session in Esse3 or via whatever means decided by the lecturer;
- arrive on the day at the appropriate time with an identity document.
During the exam
Each candidate must work from the assigned workstation. The instructor will inform the students about the possibility of using any authorized aids (e.g., dictionaries, calculators, etc.).
Throughout the entire duration of the exam, candidates must adhere to the following rules:
- avoid using any unauthorized document or technological support tool, unless expressly permitted by the instructor-in-charge or the members of the examining board;
- do everything required by the lecturer to ensure the regular and orderly conduct of the exam;
- in the event of technical issues, immediately notify the lecturer;
- submit the test once the maximum time for the examination has expired.
