Guidance for Offering 在线 Exams in the Event of a Transition to Remote Instruction | Institute for Teaching Excellence-威尼斯人娱乐城

开始

One of the bigger challenges associated with remote learning involves assessing learning outcomes. Many face-to-face courses require students to take in-person proctored exams. Additional steps will need to be taken in order to offer an online proctored exam, these include:

把考试放到画布上: Paper based exams need to be digitized for delivery using Canvas.
选择一个监控器解决方案:新泽西理工学院提供在线监考考试.
与学生交流: Students will need regular and detailed communication about the assessment process.
分级: 分级 process will vary depending on how the exams are configured and offered.

注意事项

Any event that would precipitate a transition to remote instruction has the potential to disrupt/negatively impact students (e.g. 一场暴风雨，学生们没有电，也没有网络, a pandemic where students or their immediate family may be sick). In these cases it is important to keep in consideration that:

Some students may lack adequate resources to connect remotely, 这可能包括互联网连接, 权力, 一个安静的聚会场所, 一个摄像头, 计算设备.
It is recommended for students to take exams on computing devices rather than mobile devices.

Instructors are encouraged to be flexible during these events and should direct students to the Dean of Students (dos@威尼斯人娱乐城.edu)视情况而定.

步骤

步骤1:将考试放到画布中

To begin, an exam must be either created in or uploaded to Canvas. 注意事项: Instructors interested in using Respondus LockDown Browser (proctoring) will need to create an exam.

创建考试:可以在测试 Canvas特性. The fastest and easiest way to do this is to copy and paste the questions from a WORD or PDF document into the quiz (unfortunately, 没有自动转换工具). 以下资源提供了有关的详细信息 经典测验.
上传考试:上传当前考试(e.g. PDF文件)导入赋值 Canvas特性. This option allows students to write their 答案 on blank sheets of paper and upload within a specified time frame. 以下资源提供了有关的详细信息作业.
- 如何创建作业 重要的提醒: 如果教师计划使用此选项，则 提交类型 设置将需要设置为在线 ,包括 文件上传.
- How do I add extra time/change the assignment date for a student prior to their attempt? (步骤1 & 2)

第二步:选择监控工具

而威尼斯人娱乐城有很多在线监考选项可用, only Respondus LockDown Browser can be used in the event of an abrupt transition to remote instruction. A videoconferencing platform such as Webex or ZOOM may also be used in combination with Respondus for Live Instructor proctoring. This limitation is due to the fact that ProctorU requires exams to be created and scheduled in advance.

响应锁定浏览器和监视器: Respondus LockDown Browser (LDB) is a special web browser that blocks students from navigating to other websites while taking an exam, 访问Canvas课程材料, 访问他们电脑上的文件/软件. Students need to download and install Respondus LDB on their computers. Respondus Monitor is an additional feature that records students as they take an exam and uses artificial intelligence to flag potential academic integrity violations. 这个选项要求学生有一个网络摄像头. 以下资源提供了有关的详细信息 Respondus.
1. 如何设置Respondus锁定浏览器和监视器
  - 与学生分享教学大纲语言
  - 新生入学实习考试 (经典测验)
  - 新生入学实习考试 (新测试)
2. 重要提示:
  - If students are having issues with the practice exam, they should contact 帮助.威尼斯人娱乐城.edu.
  - An exam must be within the Canvas 测试 feature for Respondus LDB to work.
  - Students cannot upload written work directly into a quiz while using this proctoring solution. However, there is a workaround for this using a Canvas assignment: 我如何收集学生的书面作业?
  - If students are taking the exam using an iPad, instructors must 手动更改设置以允许使用iPad.
监考使用锁定浏览器+实时监考: Respondus LockDown Browser may be used in combination with a video conferencing platform such as ZOOM or Webex for the Instructor to Live proctor their students. While the video conferencing exam session is scheduled by the instructor, Canvas测验通过Respondus进行密码保护. Students must connect to the Webex session via either computer or mobile device. 当老师准备好开始考试时, they will provide the exam password so all students may begin the quiz. The instructor then proctors the students remotely via the web camera, as students take the exam. Student expectation is to remain connected to the Webex session throughout the duration of the exam. While video conferencing is used in conjunction with Respondus, 学生们看不到彼此, 但是一定要见主人. 主机可以看到所有的学生环境. 请参阅锁定浏览器+实时监控文章的逐步说明和视觉效果.

第三步:与学生交流

It is important to effectively communicate how the exam will be offered with your students in a number of ways. 以下资源提供了有关的详细信息 与学生交流.

帆布公告: An 公告可以与学生共享吗. 如果使用Canvas公告，建议您做课程主页上的最新公告.
帆布的收件箱: 收件箱可用于通信 with the entire course, groups of students, or an individual student.
电子邮件: Instructors can retrieve student email addresses from within 校园 Pipeline.

重要提醒:

A Canvas course must be published in order for 公告s and 帆布的收件箱 messages to be sent to those students.
While the Canvas default is to have notifications turned on for both Announcements and the 帆布的收件箱, 学生可以关闭这些通知.

4 .评分

Once the exam is digitized (see step 1) and taken by students, SpeedGrader may be used by the instructor to grade, annotate, and provide feedback to students.

小测验: SpeedGrader将显示测试问题, 答案, and file submissions (if applicable) for each student along with a timestamp and length of student submission .
作业: SpeedGrader will display the file submissions for each student.

评分后，评分将出现在画布中成绩单发布.

重要的提醒任何学术诚信方面的问题都应该向学生教务处报到.
