eAssessment: Digital Assessment Environment at the University of Basel

• "connected": Students learn in digital learning environments that are connected to research and the future professional world.
  The use of digital tools for problem-solving will become one of the core competencies in the future workplace. This means that competency-oriented assessments can also be conducted in digital environments.
   
• "open": Students learn in as open and authentic environments as possible.
  Digital assessments take place in practice-oriented environments with student computers, where electronic tools can be used where appropriate.
   

The Educational Technologies Office is the service owner of the digital assessment environment, which offers the following features:

• Written assessments with student computers on campus.
• A wide range of didactic assessment scenarios through the two complementary assessment platforms, ADAM EXAM and EvaExam.
• Students can take their assessments on the platform where they have learned (both ADAM EXAM and the ADAM learning platform are based on ILIAS).
• For written assessments, students can create longer texts using the computer, which also facilitates grading.
• The assessment WLAN (unibas-public WLAN) allows assessments to be conducted in which internet access is not possible.
