Exam mode differs from a normal Vocareum assignment. You can control access to the Exam for learners. As well as access to other class resources while learners are taking the exam.
Additionally, Exam Mode restricts feedback access for completed exams unless specific settings are adjusted, ensuring exam integrity.
How can you allow feedback access after an exam ends in Exam Mode?
To allow students to review feedback post-exam, follow these steps:
Ensure Exam Deadlines Have Passed: Confirm all deadlines before making changes.
Unpublish the Exam Assignment: Temporarily hide the exam from students.
Disable Exam Mode: Adjust assignment settings to deactivate Exam Mode, thus removing restrictions.
Republish the Assignment: Make the assignment visible again to enable feedback review.
Exam Mode settings are found in the Assignments settings
Please note - You can only set exam mode on or off when the assignment is unpublished
Practical Scenarios for Adjusting Exam Mode
Reviewing Feedback for Key Exams: Modify settings to allow students to securely view feedback for midterms or finals.
Meeting Institutional Requirements: Adjust Exam Mode to comply with policies necessitating feedback availability.
How do you schedule an exam?
Manual/Scheduled means everyone will take the exam at the same time and you can either publish it at the time or control it via "Access Date".
Timed sets the amount of time and number of attempts learner's will have to finish an exam
Timed but Unrestricted allows learner's to still access other course material during their Timed exam
What is a Show End Exam Button?
"Show End Exam Button" displays an "End Exam" button to learners.
What is a Show Exam Timer?
Show Exam Timer counts down the time.
Do exams auto-submit when the time is over?
Auto-submit functionality can be set in the Assignment Options settings.
Can learners end a timed exam early?
Learners can end a timed exam early, with or without submitting all parts. A warning will be displayed if they are missing parts for submission and would like to proceed.
How can a learner retake an exam?
An instructor can reset the exam for a learner via the Class page under Exam Info, as well as the Dashboard->Summary page for that learner. Reset Timer will allow a learner to reenter the exam while preserving their workarea from the previous attempt. Retake Exam will allow the learner to reenter the exam as well, but the student workarea will be reset to allow for a fresh start.
In both circumstances the learner will be re-prompted for a passcode if an exam passcode is set. The passcode is configurable in the assignment settings.
How can you extend the exam time for a learner?
An instructor can override the exam time for a learner via the Class page under Class Info, as well as the Dashboard->Summary page for that learner under Set Duration. When overriding the time for a learner note that the amount of time given will still take into account the start time. e.g. a 90 minute exam that runs from 11:00am.
Additionally, for feedback access post-deadline, ensure Exam Mode is disabled before making duration changes.
