Open Book Upload Exam

This scenario was initially called Open Book Exam @ Home and was renamed to make it easier to distinguish. In an open book upload exam, students are given one or more tasks via ILIAS, which are completed from home with digital support in a defined time window of usually a few hours; handwritten work is also possible if necessary. Aids are permitted within the specified framework. Students download the exam as a file at the beginning of the time slot, 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 slot. The submission includes the declaration of independent processing and indication of the aids according to the examiner's specifications. The time periods and the authentication of the students are controlled via ILIAS using a KIT account.
