Assessment Support

Team Assessment Support has been facilitating the preparation, examination and conclusion of digital assessments and exams since 2012. Digital assessments are managed and created in Brightspace. The exam can be administered in a secure exam environment in the Aletta Jacobs Hall.

Team Assessment Support offers support in the following ways:

guidance for digital assessments within Brightspace
development of IT-applications, with as its goal the development of a more efficient test process
analysis of essay exams
individual advice for teachers
tailor-made solutions and courses regarding assessment

Individual advice

On request, teachers can receive individual advice about the quality of their multiple choice and essay exams. This can be done either before the exam takes place, by evaluating the exam questions, or after the exam took place, by creating a test analysis. In order to do so, instruments that we have developed ourselves are being used. Research helps us to continuously improve these instruments.

Digital Assessment & Exam Processing

Support for digital exams by ESI

ESI offers support for digital exams in the Aletta Jacobshal. For each exam a procedure is followed. Below is a resume of this procedure, for the detailed step-by-step plan we refer you to the page on EDU support. Throughout the procedure you will be supported by one person of team Assessment Support, the facilitator. We will communicate through the ‘Exam Manager’ module in Brightspace. You will receive messages from us with information about what we expect from you at each stage in the procedure.

Before the exam

An exam course based on a template will be created and a facilitator appointed. By default, the coordinator specified in Ocasys is enrolled and will receive an email when the exam course is created. In case you do not receive a message, please contact us ASAP at the email address or phone number mentioned below.

You can add colleagues to the exam management portal and the exam course. Your colleagues can then communicate with the facilitator and start constructing the exam.

Construction of the exam

During the construction phase you can take a look at the exam instruction pages on the edusupport website. If you have any questions, please turn to your facilitator for support. We kindly ask you to finish a concept version of the exam one week before the administration, so we can test your exam. Your facilitator checks all the settings and finishes the preparations.

During the exam

During the exam, a student-assistant from Edusupport will be present to assist the examiner in case of issues. If a student cannot log in to the exam, the student-assistant will make sure this student can participate with his/her own account. We do not check whether a student was enrolled in ProgRESS.

After the exam

Directly after the exam, the student-assistant will close the exam and make a backup. A report of the administration (late enrollments, technical incidents) is added to the exam course.
For exams with MC questions and more than 25 participants, a statistical analysis will be made by the facilitator.
When you are finished grading, you can organize an online review for students.
