Exams and Hand in- folders
At Lillehammer University College (HiL) we arrange home exams in several courses by using the Hand in- folder in a customised exam room in Fronter. The students are familiar with this work method throughout the term, as we use this tool in most of our subjects.
The planning consists of, amongst other things, creating new users with their candidate number as username in Fronter. An Excel file is manipulated and imported in a separate org.unit created for this purpose - a job for the administrator. This is how it lookes like:
Then a separate room is created in Fronter where these participants are enrolled with writing rights. It is given a customised design:
To make navigation as easy as possible we also use the setting Design:
First we select the group and then apply the setting Design where we choose the exams room where the students are enrolled. Selecting Default (radiobutton) for the room is the smart move: When the student logs on he or she will automatically enter this room upon login:
Note the personal toolbar: a user template is applied to all students to ensure they have this very simple toolbar.
For a "regular" teacher some of what is mentioned here is outside his/her scope without the help of an administrator - it is about having rights as well as some underpinning knowledge of Fronter. However, the purpose has been to give you some ideas of the possible uses of Hand in -folders!
