Open Book Upload Exam

Initially, this scenario was called Open Book Exam @ Home, but it was renamed to make it easier to distinguish. In an Open Book Upload exam, students are given one or more assignments via ILIAS, which they complete digitally from home within a defined time frame of usually a few hours; handwritten work may also be possible. Aids are permitted within the given framework. Students download the exam as a file at the beginning of the time window, work on it digitally or on paper and upload the results as a submission immediately after the end of the processing time in a limited time window. The submission includes the declaration of independent processing and indication of the aids in accordance with the examiners' specifications. The time periods and the authentication of the students are controlled via ILIAS using the KIT account.

As an introduction, we also recommend the recording of the webinar: Digital Prüfen mit ILIAS - Eine Option fürs WiSe 20/21? from 25.11.2020 as well as the video: The scenario: "Upload exam with ILIAS" on the Corona Webinar page.
