Mathew Hillier 5:04 PM lol ;-) 5:04 PM Mathew Hillier 5:07 PM interested in the last bit! computerised exams for computer programming :-) 5:08 PM Tim Hunt 5:09 PM Yes. Teresa 5:09 PM unless you're asking them to write sudo-code Mathew Hillier 5:09 PM pen on paperexam is the opposite of programming in the real world for sure! Tim Hunt 5:10 PM Hi Mathew Hillier 5:10 PM i did a survey of students in this uni and the CS students were wanting the e-exam system yesterday! Greg Faller 5:11 PM Yep Neil McPherson 5:11 PM yes John Capper 5:11 PM Can see Tim Hunt 5:15 PM Which is authentic for how real software developers work/feel (the going green thing) 5:15 PM Andrew Wandel 5:24 PM Something I'm familiar with: say the correct thing and write the wrong one! :) Tim Hunt 5:32 PM Presumably it takes a while to realise all the good things you could do with templates. John Capper 5:36 PM Many thanks Richard and Matthew. gtg. Mathew Hillier 5:40 PM is it scaleable beyond those numbers? Tim Hunt 5:40 PM I would guess so. Just get more servers. Teresa 5:40 PM Many thanks Richard - I have to go but look forward to reviewing & sharing the recording link with colleagues :) It would also be great to see this presented at the NZ Moodle Moot in October, Nelson if you're keen - http://www.moodlemoot.co.nz/ Tim Hunt 5:41 PM (More Moodle servers, and more JOBE servers) Mathew Hillier 5:41 PM conversely would it run off a USB stick? Tim Hunt 5:41 PM I was answering Mattehw Mathew Hillier 5:41 PM i was thinking i USB per sutdent in large exams. then the answers stored on a moodle db located on the same USB 5:41 PM BYOD e-exam system! 5:42 PM shameless personal plug.... transformingexams.com! 5:43 PM i would love to integrate this into our BYOD e-exam platform/ 5:43 PM i would like to hear about the results of those larger exams! 5:44 PM Deb M 5:48 PM What about students who are studying at a distance? What sort of access for them? Andrew Wandel 5:48 PM Does it need installation of extra servers for processing, or would the servers already used for processing Moodle handle the load? Tim Hunt 5:50 PM Since you are executing arbitrary student code on the server, you would not want that on your main Moodle server! Sally Jordan 5:52 PM I've got to go now, but many thanks Richard - very interesting. Tim Hunt 5:52 PM Using just essay questions in a Moodle quiz, on a set-up wiht two modest servers, we managed to get 1,000 simulated users in one exam. Greg Faller 5:53 PM Thanks Richard and Mathew Tim Hunt 5:54 PM This is exactly the way computer-marked assessment should be done. Authentic tasks that the computer can grade; and instant feedback with multiple tries so students can engage with the feedback. Deb M 5:54 PM Thanks very much, v interesting. I'll pass the info on to some colleagues. Tim Hunt 5:55 PM Matthew, you should get STACK on your USB sticks too. Tim Hunt 5:56 PM We want diagrams for exams too (at the OU) Must be possible to make a HTML5 diagram editor. 5:56 PM Please get in touch off-line. 5:56 PM James Denholm-Price 5:57 PM Thanks -- very interesting (I've a colleague doing something similar at Kingston Uni, mostly Java but also pseudocode). Neil McPherson 5:57 PM Thank you Tim Hunt 5:57 PM Thanks for a great talk. Matthias Otto 5:57 PM Thx, great, much appreciated.
