Electronic examination: MyCourses exams

MyCourses includes two types of activities that can be used for exams: the Quiz activity and the Assignment activity. Often, the exam is conducted in the same workspace where the course is otherwise hosted. You can create a separate section for the exam, where the exam, any practice exams, and other exam details are located. If the exam is separate, the MyCourses exam workspace can be automatically created based on Sisu data.

In shortly

  • The Quiz activity and assignment activity can be used to organise electronic exams online or in the classroom.
  • The assignment activity also allows you to receive file submissions.
  • It is possible to grant extra time to both activities for students or groups.
  • In the quiz activity, you can utilise a question bank and randomised questions. The quiz questions are evaluated automatically (except for the essay question.

MyCourses has three activity types that are mainly used for electronic examination purposes:

  • Traditional

Most often, the exam is conducted in the same workspace where the course is also hosted. You can create a separate section in the workspace for the exam, which includes the exam, any practice exams, and other exam details.

If the exam is a separate exam, MyCourses exam workspace can be already created automatically based on Sisu information. Please, check that first. After that, if you do not have an exam workspace, you can request one by filling and submitting the form

Other types of exams in Aalto include: 

  • Exam room for electronic examinations LINKKI TĂ„HĂ„N
  • Oral exams via Teams or ZOOM
    • You can use video calls for oral exams in one-to-one sessions.
    • When proctoring an exam with Teams, do not record the exam session.
    • You may take your own notes, such as when the exam starts, when a student may leave, when the exam ends, and notes of possible inappropriate behaviour). Exam recordings are confidential material and must be handled with the exact protocol.
    • Before the start of the exam, do the following (We suggest you use the Choice tool in MyCourses for these details; the students' responses will be shown in MyCourses):
      • Inquire if there is any student with a laptop or computer without a microphone, web camera and internet connection available for the exam and
      • Ask the student permission for a video connection during the exam in advance.

Quiz activity for Electonic Examination

Questions can be added directly to a quiz activity or by utilizing the question bank. From the categories in the question bank, you can select specific tasks or use random selection, in which case each student will receive a different set of questions.

Add a quiz activity. For the exam, check these points:
 

  • Write the exam instructions for students in the assignment description box.
  • Set the time during which students will start and finish the exam by adding the dates and times to the timer.
  • You can also use the duration time, which specifies the amount of time each student has available for the exam. This way, the start and end time of the exam can be longer, and each student can use the duration within it. The student sees their available time as a countdown timer.
  • It's recommended to choose that students' answers are automatically submitted when the exam time ends.
  • Under “Show more” in the question placement section on the page, you can specify whether the student is allowed to return to previous questions or should proceed question by question.
  • The table "Review options" should be filled carefully. If you want to show students general feedback from the test or the correct answers only after the survey is closed, leave all boxes empty except for the last column “After the quiz is closed” and check the boxes "if correct" or “points.” You can also leave all boxes empty and make the necessary selections when you're ready to give students access to their final grades.
  • In the visibility settings, choose how many decimal places are displayed in the grade.
  • Individual students can be granted special access to the exam.

Add questions

  • You can add questions immediately by clicking "Save and display." You can have MyCourses select questions randomly from the question bank to be added to the quiz activity. You can choose questions from different categories in the question bank and specify how many questions will be picked from each category. When questions are added randomly, they also don't appear to the teacher on the exam questions tab, but they can be previewed in the student view.</li>
  • Another option is to add the same questions for everyone in the survey but select the option “Shuffle questions.” Shuffling the questions will make them appear in a random order for students.

Time extension students/User user override

If you grant extra time to certain students or groups, or if someone takes the exam at a different time than others, do this from the quiz activity's "more" tab under "User overrides." Add the student and provide them with a separate time to take the exam. Nothing else needs to be done. The exam will open for the student at the time specified for the exception, not at the same time as for others. Keep this in mind when setting the "Review options" table settings. The exception access will affect the exam's availability.

Tehtävä sähköisenä tenttinä

Tehtävä-aktiviteetti mahdollistaa opiskelijoiden töiden palauttamisen arvioitavaksi. Opiskelija voi kirjoittaa vastauksensa suoraan editoriin tai ladata tiedostoja. Arvioinnin voit tehdä pisteinä, skaalana (esim. hyväksytty – hylätty), käyttää arviontimatriisia eli rubriikkia tai arviointilausekkeita. Opiskelijat voivat palauttaa työnsä henkilökohtaisesti tai ryhmässä.

Mikäli haluat, että kaikki opiskelijat näkevät saamansa arvosanan yhtä aikaa, voit joko piilottaa tehtävän tai piilottaa tulokset arviointikirjan asetuksista tehtävän kohdalta kolmen pisteen kohdalta. 

Huom: Jos sinun täytyy antaa lisäaikaa joillekin opiskelijoille tai ryhmille voit tehdä niin Osallistujien poikkeuspääsyt 
-ohjeen mukaisesti. Sama ohje pätee quiz- ja tehtävä-aktiviteetteihin.
