In the attached image, adding an exam when the examiner (or administrator) does NOT have the permission to add machine-based exams, the options 'Machine-Restricted (beta)' and 'Machine-Open (beta)' appear grayed out and cannot be selected.
Adding the permission to create machine-based exams is done from the User Management view by first locating the respective examiner and then using the '+' icon in the User Rights column to add the 'Can create machine-based exams' permission.
Teacher's Actions
Creating a Machine-Based Exam
...
- Log in as an examiner to EXAM.
- On the examiner's dashboard, click on 'New exam' and select the exam type from the dropdown menu.
- Once you have chosen the exam type, you will see the exam mode selection: Choose 'Machine-Open Exam' and click on 'Create new.'
- You can also create a personal exam or a proficiency test. The only additional step in the instructions is to add the student as a participant if necessary, which is done in the publishing settings in the same way as for an exam conducted in the exam room.
- Retrieve the course details normally, give the exam a name, and save it.
- On the 'Basic Information' tab, add any other necessary information about the exam and save it.
- Add questions to the exam. In an open machine-based exam, students have access to all resources on their computers (including the internet), so consider this when creating questions.
- On the 'Publishing Settings' tab, create the exam sessions for the machine-based exam:
- In the 'Publishing Settings' tab, enter the start and end dates of the exam period and add the exam session (or multiple sessions): provide the date, start time, instructions, and the maximum number of participants for the exam session. Click the 'Accept' button.
- It's advisable to mark the exam period as the dates during which the exam sessions will occur. - Provide the duration of the exam and the number of attempts allowed before assessment.
- Save and publish the exam. Now, the student can register for the exam session.
- In the 'Publishing Settings' tab, enter the start and end dates of the exam period and add the exam session (or multiple sessions): provide the date, start time, instructions, and the maximum number of participants for the exam session. Click the 'Accept' button.
