Participate in the survey: Online exams and remote monitoring

Dear Teacher or Student, please answer the survey, and influence the procurement of proctoring software for online exams!

Do you think it should be possible to monitor remotely conducted online exams more closely? Would there be users for this kind of software in the University of Eastern Finland?
What kind of features should the software have?

The mapping of the procurement of remote monitoring software, aka proctoring software, for online exams continues. Now we are investigating UEF teachers' and students’ opinions and views on the matter: whether there is a need for procurement, how much use the software would have and what kind of features should be found in it.  

The survey was created based on the responses to an online exam-related survey conducted earlier in the autumn. This survey is only aimed at the staff and students of the University of Eastern Finland, so that we can get a better idea of what kind of needs and ideas exist in our organization in particular. More information available on the attachment.

Answer the survey no later than 30.11.2023 and influence future exam practices! All responses are anonymous.

Use Turnitin Draft Coach for assistance during the writing phase of your assignment

Turnitin Draft Coach is a tool that helps writers during the writing phase. The Draft Coach service operates within Word Online, and you'll need to log in using your UEF credentials. You can find instructions for enabling Draft Coach in the Turnitin plagiarism detection system course (course key for the course is "turnitin"). With Draft Coach, you can check both the originality of your text and the references within the text and sources. In addition, Draft Coach includes an English language proofreading tool.

Draft Coach provides the familiar originality report found in Turnitin. Draft Coach identifies similarities in the text from extensive databases, such as the internet, student papers, and publications. Draft Coach does not report or archive work anywhere. It is designed to assist students in addressing any potential issues before submitting their assignments. You can use Draft Coach instead of the assignment check in the Student Turnitin course in Moodle.
