EvaExam Online FAQ

Teachers can request an EvaExam account here. Students do not need their own accounts.

A sample file for participant import into EvaExam can be found here in the Introduction to Digital Exams Moodle course. (Enrollment key at service.itmc@tu-dortmund.de). It is important to arrange the columns:
Matriculation number|Email address|Name|blank|First name.

he Send button suggests that the mails will be sent directly. In fact, the Send button first takes you to a processing window. To do this, you have to allow pop-ups in the browser. Only then will the window open where you can customize the mail and finally send it.

In case of exam deregistrations, you can delete the respective participants via the participant administration in EvaExam. They will then no longer have access to the exam with their TAN number. When entering the TAN, the deleted participants will see the following error message: "The TAN number is not known. Please check the code entry".
The participants will then also no longer appear in your exam dashboard.

If participants go to the EvaExam page long before the exam starts to fill in their affidavit, the button does not automatically turn green. In this case, participants must reload the home page and fill out the affidavit again to enter the exam. The TAN number is not consumed until the green "Begin Exam" button is pressed.

In general, the performance of the EvaExam system is sufficient.
For large examination cohorts >300 students, it is nevertheless recommended to divide the students into groups and to start the examinations with a time delay of approx. 5-10 minutes in each case in order to relieve the system.

If you specify a time limit when creating the check, the TAN is blocked after logging in so that it is not possible to log in again (this could otherwise be used to circumvent the time limit). If no time limit is defined, participants can log in multiple times with the TAN. If you want to make sure that the TAN number is not used more than once after entering the exam, you can manually lock the TAN numbers of people who have entered the exam in the dashboard so that the TAN icon is shown grayed out. It is still possible to manually unlock them again.

The exam dashboard displays the framework data of an exam and the data of the participants in a table. To make a locked TAN (gray icon) available again, you must click on the lock icon in the "Lock/open TAN" column. The icon turns green and re-entry into the exam is possible. 

Once a participant's exam performance has been submitted, the TAN number is used up and can no longer be reactivated.

The prerequisite for restoring the data is that the TAN numbers of the yellow participants in the dashboard have either been locked automatically, due to the time limit, or that you manually lock the TAN numbers in the exam dashboard so that the TAN icon is grayed out. You can then close the check despite the warning message. It is then possible to transfer the data from the temporary storage.

The scoring can only be completed when points have been awarded for all questions of all participants. Using the drop-down menu, you can see which questions and by how many participants have not yet been scored, provided that you remove the checkmark from "Hide already processed questions". The saving of the already processed questions takes place nevertheless.

In principle, of course, no changes should be made to the exam data.
In exceptional cases that are justified for you, you can use the Post-edit exam results plug-in. This allows you to adjust the assessment for the participants individually. This also changes the data in the reports and raw data. Attention, the plug-in is not available for multiple choice, Kprim and assignment questions!

Other options you have are:

• Exporting the raw data as .csv and editing the raw data table in Excel (=outside EvaExam). The Excel table cannot be imported back into the Syetem.
• inside EvaExam: assign exam data/maximum score and take the question "out of scoring" for all participants, but at the same time this would give an advantage to all who had answered the question incorrectly.
