- Is it possible to use questions/answers with the use of equations, formulas and graphs (e.g. Math exams)?
Yes. Wiseflow has many different question/answers formats. It has the basic ones such as written text/open answer, multiple choice, true or false,… but it also has specific formats that allow answering with formulas, equations or graphs. Also, the tool also allows two alternatives: (1) the student can also handwrite the graph/formula/equation on paper and submits a picture with the answer – the professor then will have access to the picture/answer. (2) there is a drawing format for the answers, which allow the student to write directly on the computer (with the mouse or, even better, with a digital pen/touchscreen). Finally, and especially in a transition period, the professor might also opt to have a hybrid exam where the written text/multiple choice are delivered via Wiseflow and other questions that might be more complex to digitalize are submitted on paper, as usual.
- Is the student able to access websites during the exam?
Only if the professor allows. Wiseflow uses a lockdown browser for the exam, which prevents the student to leave that window during the exam, by default. But if the professor wants to provide access to a certain website or file (with a link), an explicit authorization might be set by creating an exception.
- Is the student able to access computer files and apps during the exam?
No – that is another consequence of the lockdown browser. However, there is an optional exception. If the professor wants to give an open book exam, for example, the professor might let students use some clouding service (OneDrive, for example) and students would have access to the files they have in their clouding service folders, accessed online. They need to know if it’s possible beforehand, so they can upload their files. This needs to be done with some care, since providing access to clouding service folders that are editable by students might allow, at the same time, undesired ways for students to communicate with each other.
- Is it possible to use this in an open-book exam?
Yes. Either by allowing the use of in-classroom physical materials (books, notes), or digital access to the cloud services if the student might choose what materials to use, to specific files/links if it is the professor that sets what materials are available.
