By default, only images can be uploaded, no multi page documents like PDFs. As soon as you click on 'Upload' in the webinterface, the camera opens automatically. No special App is needed, just a webbrowser. Specific exams allow other file types (like .Rmd, .m or .py files) for upload |
Internet |
A reliable internet connection is necessary. |
- By default your webcam sends only one picture per second. But we recommend to use WLAN,not 'mobile data'. If you do not have stable internet at home - find a stable internet location before the exam.
- Depending on the exam, you will be monitored by your webcam (cellphone, tablet or notebook).
During the exam, you can request help via button Request Help - A video call will be opened: wait until an assistant accepts your call.
- After log in, you'll see all exams assigned to you (most of of you will have one or maybe two exams).
- Log in early to verify that you have been correctly assigned. If you miss an exam, contact your lecturer (an exam should be listed at least one week before exam date).
- If you share your internet connection with other persons (shared accomodation): inform them that you have an exam.
