From a paper-based test to a timed-assignment
Module Coordinators who are concerned that their exam paper may have to be delivered online for some qualifying students, or for all students where the RDS ceases to be available, may wish to explore how to convert an existing paper-based exam into an online exam. Brightspace can be used to deliver both Quiz and Timed-assignment style exams.
Timed Assignment style use cases:
- Single essay/document exams where the student can provide their script in a single uploaded document.
- Multiple short answer or longer form questions where students have a choice of question to answer – e.g. answer 2 out of 3 essay questions.
