Import LMS Course as Exam in SEB Server
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
To be able to configure and manage a course or parts of a course existing on a LMS as an exam on SEB Server we first need to import
|
|
an exam from the one of the available courses from a LMS that has been setup to use within the SEB Server.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
If you don't have already set up a LMS binding within SEB Server and your institution, you have to do this first.
|
|
More information about setting up a LMS binding can be found in the chapter :ref:`lms-setup-label`
|
|
|
|
You will find the list of available courses provided form all LMS that are bound within your institution by going to the "Exam Administration"
|
|
section on the left hand side and choosing "LMS Exam Lookup". The SEB Server will present you the list of all available courses and you
|
|
are able to filter and sort the list as usual to find to right course for import.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The "Start-Time" filter is usually set to the date one year before now or to some other default date in the past. The list shows only
|
|
the courses that has a start-time after that time. If you have long running courses and it may possible that a course has been stated
|
|
a year or two ago, you habe to adapt this "Start-Time" filter to view those courses that has been started before.

|
|
|
|
You can view more details of a course by double-click on the specific list entry or by selecting the list entry and click the "Show LMS Exam Details"
|
|
action form the action pain on the right hand side. The application will open a pop-up with available detail information of the course.
|
|
|
|
To import a course as an exam find the specific course on the list by using the filter and select the list entry. Use the "Import As Exam" action
|
|
from the action pane on the right hand side.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
If a course has already ended (End-Time passed) it is not possible to import this course and an appropriate message is shown.
|
|
|
|
On import, the application is creating an exam on SEB Server with a reference to the imported course on the LMS. All course specific data
|
|
like name, description, start-, end-time and course-identifier will not be stored on the SEB Server but always be referenced by the underling course.
|
|
This means, that the course data has to be modified on the LMS side as usual and the SEB Server always takes the actual data from the LMS for the
|
|
course. This has the advantages of the principle of single responsibility and prevents synchronization issues.
|
|
|
|
You will see the creation page of the new exam with additional information:
|
|
- Name: Is the name of the course, defines on the LMS
|
|
- LMS Setup: Is the name of the LMS Setup on the SEB Server from which the course was imported
|
|
- Start-Time: Is the date and time when the exam is starting. This is defined on the LMS
|
|
- End-Time: Is the date and time when the exam ends. This is defined on the LMS
|
|
- LMS Exam Identifier: Is the identity of the course on the LMS (external identifier/primary key)
|
|
- LMS Exam URL: Is the start URL of the course/exam
|
|
|
|
and are able to initially choose a type for the exam - "Exam Type" - that is currently only used
|
|
for informational purpose and has no further restrictions or consequences on handling on in SEB Server.

|
|
|
|
Furthermore you can select and apply all exam supporter that shall be able to see and support this exam while running. To do so, click in the
|
|
input field of the attribute "Exam Supporter" to see a drop down list of all available users for selection. To filter the drop down list, start
|
|
typing characters of the name of the user-account you want to apply to automatically filter the list. Click on the drop-down list entry to select the
|
|
specified user that will be added to the list below the input field. To add another user to the selection just click again into the input field
|
|
and select another user. To remove a selected user from the selection-list, double-click on the specified entry of the selection-list.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
At least one user account must be selected for the attribute "Exam Supporter". You are able to change this also later on by editing the exam.
|
|
|
|
To confirm the import use the "Save Exam" action of the action pane on the right hand side or use "Cancel" if you want to abort the import of the
|
|
exam and go back to the course list. If you have confirmed and successfully imported the exam, you will see the exam overview page where you are able
|
|
to edit the details of the exam, apply SEB restrictions of supported by the LMS, apply a SEB exam configuration for the exam and define indicators
|
|
for monitoring the exam later on.
