eAssessment - Supporting your students
How to support your students
Exams can be a very stressful experience for your students and there are a number of ways that you can support them with online assessments. When you run an online assessment using the eAssessment platform, it helps to get students familiarised with the platform and how the assessment will be scheduled and delivered.
It is important to provide students with clear instructions on:
- The type of assessment
- The platform used for the online assessment (Moodle ELMS or eAssessment)
- Whether the exam will open book, closed book or open access
- What maintaining academic integrity in the exam encompasses
- Whether they require specific hardware or software for the assessment
- Whether the assessment will be invigilated
- Any special considerations for sitting a deferred exam
