Onlineprüfungssystems

Onlineprüfungssysteme, also known as online assessment systems or e-assessment platforms, are digital tools designed to administer, proctor, and grade examinations and tests over the internet. These systems have become increasingly prevalent in educational institutions and professional certification bodies, particularly with the rise of remote learning and flexible assessment methods.

The core functionality of an onlineprüfungssystem typically includes the ability to create, upload, and manage test questions in various formats such as multiple-choice, true/false, short answer, and essay. The system can then present these questions to candidates at a scheduled time. Security and integrity are paramount, leading to the integration of proctoring features. These can range from simple browser lockdown, preventing access to other applications, to more advanced methods like live remote proctoring, where human supervisors monitor candidates via webcam, microphone, and screen sharing. Automated proctoring uses AI to detect suspicious behavior.

Once the test is completed, the onlineprüfungssystem can automatically grade objective questions, providing immediate feedback to candidates and instructors. For subjective questions, the system may facilitate manual grading by educators. Data analytics are often a feature, allowing institutions to track performance, identify trends, and analyze the effectiveness of assessments. Benefits include increased efficiency, reduced logistical challenges, wider accessibility, and potential for more frequent and varied assessments. However, concerns regarding digital divide, security vulnerabilities, and the equitable application of proctoring technologies remain important considerations.
