Transforming exams: processes and platform for e-exams in supervised BYOD environments: final report

This seed project developed guidelines for educators and students to effectively prepare and undertake e-exams, and build a working prototype of an e-exam platform to be used in supervised, bring your own device (BYOD) settings that includes computer marked questions and secure electronic reticulation of student responses. Prior work done by Fluck at University of Tasmania informed the design of process guidelines and technology development. Pilot e-exams, interviews and focus groups were used to evaluate and feedback into the prototype design and guidelines. The new prototype platform and guidelines have sector wide relevance and applicability because it was designed to be open, flexible and as technology neutral as possible while taking into consideration process, technology, people and pedagogical factors. Deliverables were disseminated across the Australian higher education sector. The findings from the seed project will feed into an application for a full innovation and development project.
