The University of Siegen uses the X-Moodle exam software ("Exam-Moodle" or "Klausur-Moodle") to administer summative exams.
The service includes the legally compliant administration of electronic exams for both small and large numbers of participants, as well as comprehensive pedagogical, organizational, and technical consulting provided by ZIMT and ZFH, in conjunction with the administration of electronic exams in rooms PB-C 101 (lecture hall) and H-D 2202 (computer lab).
Moodle is familiar to faculty and students from their everyday university life (“Teaching Moodle”), so using X-Moodle generally does not require any adjustment. Faculty members who wish to administer exams using X-Moodle should be familiar with the “Teaching Moodle.”
Unlike Teaching Moodle, X-Moodle is a separate instance with usage scenarios restricted to exam administration, but at the same time featuring extended integrations with university systems for exam management (in particular unisono).
