Exam Template
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Exam templates are a new, useful feature available since SEB Server version 1.3. Within exam templates it is possible to create specific named templates that can be
|
|
used by an exam import from LMS/Assessment Tool course/quiz and define default settings and indicators that are automatically be applied on the exam import.
|
|
Furthermore, exam templates gives you the possibility to map exam configuration template to automatically create and map an exam configuration for an exam on import.
|
|
This is very convenient if you have a lot of exams to set up that all have the same or similar settings. In such a case you can create an exam template
|
|
with all the common settings for that exams and use it on exam import.
|
|
|
|
Exam templates can be created and managed just like other SEB Server documents within its list/library. The list can be filtered by name and type of the exam template
|
|
and also shows which one is the default for the institution.

|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The "Default Template" flag indicates the one exam template that is the default template for an institution. This just means that this template
|
|
is preselected on the exam import if it exists.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create new Exam Template
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
To create a new exam template please use the "Add Exam Template" action on the right action pane in the "Exam Template" list view.
|
|
SEB Server will then present you the exam template creation view on that some initial settings can be made.

:target: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SafeExamBrowser/seb-server/dev-2.0/docs/images/exam_template/new.png
|
|
|
|
- **Name** The name of the exam template to identify it in the list/library
|
|
- **Description** A short description ideally describing the purpose of the exam template
|
|
- **Institutional Default** This flag indicated if the exam template shall become the default exam template for the institution.
|
|
- **Exam Type** Here you can set the exam type that shall be used when an exam is imported within this template
|
|
- **Configuration Template** Select an existing exam configuration template. This template will be used to automatically create and map an exam configuration for an exam that is imported with this template
|
|
- **Exam Supporter** Add a list of available exam supporter to the template. These exam supporter will then be assigned to an exam that is imported with this template
|
|
|
|
After having done all the initial settings, the exam template can be created by saving the settings. SEB Server will then present you the exam template administration
|
|
view that looks similar to the exam administration view.
|

|
|
|
|
Here you can edit the settings done before by using the "Edit Exam Template" action form the right action pane.
|
|
You can also delete an exam template entirely by using the "Delete Exam Template" action from the right action pane.
|
|
And you are able to add/edit/remove monitoring indicators for the exam template just like you would do for exams in the exam administration view.

Import Exam with Template
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Once one or more exam template exists, you are able to select one while importing an exam from the LMS/Assessment Tool in the "LMS/Assessment Tool Exam Lookup" section. Just as usual
|
|
use the "Import as Exam" action for a LMS/Assessment Tool exam that you want to import.
|
|
|

|
|
:target: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SafeExamBrowser/seb-server/dev-2.0/docs/images/exam_template/select1.png
|
|
|
|
Now there is a new selector field named "Exam Template" where you can choose the exam template to use on import. When you select one the template attributes
|
|
like "Exam Type" or "Exam Supporter" are automatically applied from the template settings. You are still able to edit the settings e.g. add more or remove supporter.
|
|
|
|
If all settings are correct, use the "Save Exam" action from the right action pane to finish up the import. On this step, if the template defines some indicators,
|
|
this indicators are automatically be created and applied for the exam. The same applies to an exam configuration template that is defined by the exam template, a
|
|
new Exam Configuration is automatically created by the system from that configuration template and the new exam configuration is applied to the exam.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
When an Exam Configuration is automatically be created during an exam import with template, the name for that new Exam Configuration is dynamically
|
|
generated with the current date and the name of the exam. Also an appropriate description for the Exam Configuration is generated.
|
|
It is surely possible to just change the name or description of the generated Exam Configuration afterwards.
|
|
|
|
After successful exam import you see the exam administration view just as usual but with auto generated configuration and indicators from the template.
|
|
After import you can modify the exam setup as usual by changing, removing or adding settings or indicators to the exam. This will not have any effect to the selected exam template
|
|
that is only used and applied within the import process at the moment. But the exam template that has been used on import is always been shown on the exam
|
|
overview as a reference.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
A Change in a template is not reflected within already existing exams that used that template on import.
|
|
But it will affect all future exams that use this template on import.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use Cases
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
As an Exam Administrator you want to create an exam template that can be used as template for all exams of type XY that are conducted with SEB and SEB Server within your institution.
|
|
Since all exams of type XY has the same setup and almost the same settings, the SEB Exam Configuration differ only in some settings, this would be
|
|
a of great help while shorten the setup process and reduces the work that must be done to setup such an exam of type XY later on.
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Also select a type tag and add exam supporter to the template that will be applied to an exam that is imported with this exam later on.
|
|
- Now select the previously prepared "Configuration Template" that shall be used by this template. On import of an exam with this template, SEB Server will automatically create a Exam Configuration out of this template and assign it to the imported exam.
|
|
- After all initial settings are made correctly you can save the exam template with the "Save" action on the right action pane.
|

|
|
- In the exam import initialization step you now have a new selector to select an Exam Template that shall be applied.
|

|
|

|
|
- Now you can still change the settings the shall differ to the one from the template.
