Use Quiz for summative assessment

Guidance and tips to help you to set up Moodle Quiz for summative assessment.

About Exam Profile

The Exam Profile restricts access to websites apart from turnitinuk.com, moodle.city.ac.uk, and moodle4.city.ac.uk.

To use the Exam Profile, IT must be made aware of the exam dates and locations and they will reset the Exam account password and will arrange for an engineer to attend and log in all machines prior to the exam start. The password will also be provided to the invigilator(s) and should be reset after each exam.

IT should also be made aware if printing is required as charging will be turned off for the exam period if required.

 

Configuration includes any/all of the following

  • Group Policy on login creates the D:\exam and D:\exam\desktop folders and also redirects 'MyDocs/Documents' to D:\exam and the desktop to D:\exam\desktop.
  • Login and logoff scripts apply to archive data from the above folders and upload to a network share automatically and also prompt prior to deletion of the folder contents. A separate login script also maps the L drive and printers.
    Note: The deletion of the folder contents only happens if the invigilator chooses to proceed with that process.
