Electronic Exam-system: Teacher´s instructions

You can edit and remove questions in active exams as well. Any changes that you make will only affect new exam submissions, and not any pre-existing exam submissions. After you have created your question, you will not be able to change its question type (essay, multiple choice, fill-in).

• Any changes you make to the contents of your exam will only affect future exam submissions and these changes will appear in every exam that uses the same question. When you are editing a question, the system will inform you of the exams that feature that same question, i.e. every exam that will affected by the changes you make. Any changes that you make will not affect any pre-existing exam submissions.
  • Please note! If you have any joint questions with one or several teachers or you are about to edit a question that is in a joint exam that involves another or several teachers, these changes will affect the exams of every teacher that include that same question!
  • If you want to edit a question without changing the question in any other exams, create a completely new question.
• The following information can be edited on a per-exam basis: grading scale, question points (maximum grade), recommended length, answering instructions and assessment criteria.

You can edit a question in an exam by selecting the question’s “Settings” option:

> Edit questions text and save.

Or you can edit questions in the question library by selecting the question’s ID number.

• You can add new sections and questions to these sections in an active exam. Any changes that you make will appear in new exam submissions, and they will not affect any pre-existing exam submissions.

• You can also remove sections and questions from an active exam. Any changes that you make will appear in new exam submissions, and they will not affect any pre-existing exam submissions.

You can add new questions to randomized questions in an active exam. If you add a new question to a section, it must use the same grading criteria (e.g. points) that the other questions in the section use.

NOTE!

• Before making any changes to the number of randomized questions, check that no exams are about to start.
• To add new randomized questions to a section, you must first disable the “Randomize questions” option in the section:

• Add your new questions and then select the “Randomize questions” option and define the number of questions that are to be presented.
• You can also change the number of questions that are to be randomly presented in this section. Any changes you make will affect new exam submissions.

You can reopen an exam that you have used before by going to the “Publish” tab and updating its exam period and, if necessary, its duration and retake information.

You can also edit the questions in and structure of an exam that is to be reopened. These changes will only appear in new exam submissions and they will not affect any pre-existing exam submissions.

If a student needs to retake the personal exam the examiner must make a new exam.

NOTE!  Remember that any changes you make to the contents of a question will affect every active exam that uses that question.

You can copy your exams on your EXAM dashboard, on every tab. The Copy button is located on the right side of the exam that you want to copy.

Select whether to create the exam as a general exam, personal exam or maturity test.

After this, you can edit the exam's basic information, questions and publication information. Remember to attach the exam to a course and edit any other information as is needed. A copied exam creates an Exam drafts exam that has the word “Copy” in front of its name. You can change the exam's name in the exam's basic information.

NOTE! When you copy an exam and edit the questions in it directly, any changes you make will appear in the other exams that use the same questions. If you want to edit a question without affecting any other exams,

• create a completely new question for the exam and remove the old one, or
• remove the questions that you want to edit from the exam, create copies of the questions in the question library, edit these copies, and then add them to your new exam.
