Exam.net

Vorteile

Dass es, auch aufgrund der Rückmeldungen der Kolleginnen, sehr benutzerfreundlich ist und man rasch reinkommt.

Nachteile

Es fehlt eindeutig die Möglichkeit eines Pull-Down-Menüs bei fragen, da dies die Arbeit sehr erleichtern würde.

Vorteile

Ich mag, dass die Seite selbsterklärend ist, sowohl für Lehrer als auch für Studenten. Automatische Bewertung erspart mir viel Zeit. Ich muss die Ergebnisse nach dem Test nicht selber zusammenfassen oder in eine Tabelle eintragen. Das alles übernimmt Exam.net für mich. Die Seite wird ständig an die Bedürfnisse der Nutzer angepasst und verändert.

Nachteile

Ich würde mit wünschen, mehr Optionen beim Lehrerkommentar zu haben, damit ich gewisse Wörter hervorheben kann (zum Beispiel durch Fett-Markierung).

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Exam.net

Vorteile

What I like the most about Exam.net is the team, from the customer service until sofware development. They always give me a fast response and create continuous improvements based on our feedback. Really love how they give their full effort to make online assessment easier for us (the teachers).

Nachteile

For now...it is the difficulty to do colaborative editing on 1 exam, we need to copy it multiple times and make sure the first teacher finish his\her editing before we can have the most updated copy and re-copy it again to do the same step for other teacher in the same team. But I am sure the team will discuss this problem as soon as they read it and do their best to make improvement. I am looking forward for the upcoming updates.

Vorteile

The possibility to give feedback to the students and to your collaborators both on the overall test and on the single item.

Nachteile

The fact that when you share a test with someone it is not possibile to modify the shared exam: each person has to make a copy and then eventually share again the modified copy. It somehow defeats the idea of collaborative sharing.

Vorteile

Automatic excel table for correction and the possibility to change the order or questions among students.

Nachteile

The limitation to obtain results in excel with a single excel cell with all information of the student (ie name, surname, matricula): it should better to obtain each information in a single cell to permit a copy and past of info in other files.

Vorteile

easy to use, there are different types of exams, especially the different types of questions are useful. Then it is also very useful that I can provide audio samples.

Nachteile

it is easy to make listening comprehension exams - students can do them individually, they are responsible for their own time management. It works well

Vorteile

Simple to use by the teacher and by the students, secure, adaptive

Nachteile

It lacks the possibility to upload an entire test (as pdf or text) and to have it transfered in the self score module.

Vorteile

Exam.net is secured exam app we ever try.

Nachteile

Almost no shortcomings, this application is almost perfect, maybe in the future you can simplify the method of inputting questions, by provide a file upload option so as to minimize duplicating questions one by one

Vorteile

It is time saving, features keep updated to meet the needs of students and teachers. I shared ones my need to be able to select certain questions from previous tests, and within a couple of months, this feature was added!

Nachteile

Time should not reset if the student relogged into the test. The previous used time should be counted.

Vorteile

- No free access for students unless that are allowed
- Variety of question types
- Covering and randomizing question features
- Adding extra material to the tests

Nachteile

- Not being able to play audio tracks uploaded to the test without internet which hinders the performance of students
- When the test has an active timer, the timer doesn't deduct missed time from late accesses, which is unfair to the students who came on time.
- It is recommended that even the subquestions are randomized not the single questions only.

Vorteile

I am a high school English teacher, and Exam.net helps me to nurture authentic self-expression in my students. It offers me a safe way to hold in-class writing assignments without the threat of students using either information from the internet or ChatGPT to complete their work. It offers my students a chance to express themselves authentically without the temptation of using the internet or AI, which gives them a realistic understanding of where they truly are in the development of their writing skills.

Nachteile

Nothing. I love it. It is easy to use and very user friendly.

Vorteile

It's very practical. The exams are stored in digital format, which is very easy to organize and then consult, as well as being much more sustainable because no paper is consumed.
It can be shared with colleagues, which is very useful for collaboration.
Can be corrected by considering the same question in all tests
They are always available
The introduction of AI support is an asset

Nachteile

What I like least is that the windows for correcting the questions are too small and make it difficult to correct when the answer is too long

Vorteile

Good package that is able to support Access Arrangements in school. Students are able to use for word processing and computer reader. Staff are getting to grips with its functionality without too many problems.

Nachteile

More voices on the computer reader.option to split the screen horizontally rather than vertically.

Vorteile

What I like most about the exam.net is the chance to save time assessing the student´s progress using self -marking . On the other hand, it is very useful the option of monitoring your students while doing the test so that you may provide some assistance or provide some feedback in real time.

Nachteile

Well, one of the drawbacks of the exam.net platform is that you can´t programme the duration of a test if it is taken independently.

Vorteile

I highly recommend other schools to use Exam.net! Not only is it really easy to understand (doing different types of assignments), but it's also very easy for my students to use it. And the best part is that the student doesn't need an account of their own. All the extra features like dictionaries, translation options and spell check works like a charm and are very appreciated by the students as well. It also works very well to print or get PDF-files of the students answers when they have finished the exam.

Nachteile

When you do an exam which is autocorrected (or if some of the questions are to be autocorrected), the students have to put in the exact spelling of the word that you put in as the correct answer (if you do the "fill in the blanks). In that case, I had to correct the tests myself since I wasn't looking for how they spelled the words but more the knowledge. It would also be great if there was an option that allowed two students to co-write an assignment, that feature doesn't exist right now.

Vorteile

Students can't use AI for texts, I can see what they are writing, we can communicate

Nachteile

The size of the letters is not easy to find and students can't change the size without impact for my view. (The writing is too small if students change the size.)

Vorteile

Capability to add audio to the tests and user friendly.

Nachteile

we could use 0.25 options to grade and the option to add recordings in the questions it would be helpful for our multiple language tests.

Vorteile

We use Exam.net with our Chromebooks and we added an app to make sure that our student can not use their browser. When my students work in Exam.net I can chat with them and function is one of favorite classroom tools. I can guide them and give them instant feedback.

Nachteile

No, overall am I very satified and can't think of anything that I don't like.

Vorteile

It's very easy to use in an education setting, both for me as an educator and for the students. I'm feel safe that the lockdown is secure. The company is also very responsive. My school has a number of times gotten a swift response to our questions.

Nachteile

I don't have any large cons with Exam.net.

Vorteile

It can be used for online assessments of topics with many students taking the same exam simultaneously. A convenient mode of assessment.

Nachteile

Scoring for subjective items requires keying in various alternative answers, which need to be checked manually.The print-outs should be improved to include the exam title and other essential details. The layout can be enhanced.The process of test-taking will be disrupted by poor Internet connection.Security can be strengthened by requiring the students to turn on the camera throughout the exam.

Vorteile

Exam.net is easy to use, for me, our teachers an students!

Nachteile

We use a word exam at the moment, because of the answer area our students can use. For me copying and pasting a new exam in to the system, is time consuming, because the layout is constantly changing. I sometimes have to write it myself. It would be nice if, when you use the pdf upload, also have the answer are the same as the exam so students can fill in the blanks...

Vorteile

I love how you can set Math papers with ease by using the equation functions, and that the learners can write answers using an equation function. Another thing that is great is that student can scan and upload written answers to the exam that makes it easy for marking.

Nachteile

I would love to be able to release scores to students that only include the overall mark and not what they received for every question. This way I can share scores with learners even if there are others that still need to complete the test.

Vorteile

I like that it is easy to create tests and whilst writing tests the computer locks down so the student can't acces other pages.

Nachteile

I don't like the automatic archive system of tests.

Vorteile

Easy to work in. I like that the students only need a code to login.

Nachteile

That it's not possible to make comments on specific things they write. That could be helpful in scenarios where it's not meant to be an exam. Sometimes the verbal reading (automatic) doesn't work that well.

Vorteile

It is easy to use, pretty intuitive and it has all the relevant features.

Nachteile

Some features malfunction at times such as the lock down function on certain devices when my students use dictionaries for example.

Vorteile

I liked that it allows you to upload a pdf test or create an automarked test. Also, the feature of subject related tools like Desmos and calculator is nice.

Nachteile

That students don't find it a lot user friendly and take a lot of time to write math's. It doesn't allow the use of stylus

Vorteile

The fact that I can get students to write in a closed environment and actually see that they are writing in real time as well as that they are able to chat with me during the exam.

Nachteile

I haven't been using exam.net for long so I'm not familliar with all the features. It took a while to understand some parts, e.g. how to use the high security mode, how to give "talsyntes" and spelling check to students with dyslexia. I think it's a minus that you can't preprogram that and that you have to do it during the exam (if there are many of them in a class, that takes a while).

Vorteile

Ease of use, user-friendly for teachers and students, reliability, AI grading features

Nachteile

Downloading student responses with the teacher answer key requires manual cut and paste. Not as user-friendly for students as it is for teachers.

Vorteile

The customizable features have been the most impactful. Exam.net gives me the flexibility to design assessments based on my needs and the needs of my students as they prepare for college exams. It allows me to create essay questions quickly and easily and provides a platform for me to score these responses in an organized and efficient way.

Nachteile

I think that Exam.net has done a lot recently to improve their platform even more. I have been using it now for more than two years, and my students really enjoy it. The one suggestion I would make is to maybe expand the ability to add images and videos.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Exam.net

Vorteile

the intuitive interface: making it straightforward to create and administer exams.Security Measures: The platform's robust anti-cheating mechanisms, Affordability: For educational institutions, the pricing

Nachteile

There might be occasional compatibility issues with certain browsers or devices.

Vorteile

Create customizable tests and know they are secure for students. Easy to navigate for new users. Saves me time and energy when using auto-grading capability!

Nachteile

There are a few bugs or glitches that are frustrating to students

Vorteile

During the pandemic:How it handles virtually unlimited exams and exam takers. How easy it is to copy exams (making it possible to split exams for separate invigilators).How easy it is to create exams - both from scratch and via pdf upload. The variety of exams it handles (supports audio files, has built-in tools, can accept scanned responses, support multiple files in addition to the exam question paper).Now:The auto-marking feature, the types of auto-marking questions, the 'jumble the questions' feature... all making it easy to create worksheets/tasks students can reuse during revision season.

Nachteile

Presently, none!During the pandemic, security was a concern.

Vorteile

Easy to use and make your own exams. You can add pdfs and audio files. You can monitor student answers. There is a chat function that works for the whole group or to send to individual students. You can make tests that autocorrect. You can even send off written essays to Ouriginal to check for plagiarism. If the internet goes out in the middle of a test, they can continue writing. Everything is still saved.

Nachteile

Some students can still find away around the security measures to access the internet. I wish there was a function that allows the students to insert footnotes. I wish there was a way connect the exams to Teams making it easier to give feedback and share the exams with students.

Vorteile

I think that the ease of use for both students and staff members is the main strength of this tool. In a digital era of teaching, there is a need for every institution to safeguard the integrity of examinations and exam.net is a practical and helpful asset for this end.

Nachteile

I think that it is the lack of certain functions which is the main issue I have with the tool. However, adding too many functions could make it more difficult to use, thus removing one of its strengths. It would be great to have an advanced tool which could be added if one feels that the original function was lacking. For example, having a plagiarizing tool integrated not only for teachers, but also for student feedback (within the UI), would be very helpful.

Vorteile

The best things about Exam.net is that it's secure and safe, that tests are easy to construct, the automatic correction is mostly implemented well, and that there is so much customizability for you as the user.

Nachteile

I honestly can't really think of anything, other than that the service may become a bit less reliable during periods of heavy use (such as nation-wide tests in which many schools use Exam.net as their writing space).

Vorteile

I like almost everything about it. Very much.

Nachteile

That if you've created a test with a specific test type, you can't change it even if not a single pupil has taken it, and that even if you make a copy, you can't change the test type, despite what is stated in the information box that pops up.

Vorteile

The inbuilt security possibilities prevent students from cheating.

Nachteile

No video upload possible, that's some of my colleagues choose a different app.

Vorteile

Browser lock down and TTS are the two most features that definitely helps. The translate is also a huge help to my Emergent Bilingual Learners. Easy to navigate when creating your exams, you can enter/type your questions for auto-grading or just upload a pdf if you are in a bind time-wise.

Nachteile

The one feature that I would like to see is to enable a scheduled time to close-out the exam. When creating an exam, it would be helpful if we can copy a question and just change the prompt on the copy but keep the answer choices the same.

Vorteile

My favorite thing about exam.net is the ability to enter robust math equations, including fractions, exponents, radicals, logarithms, integrals, derivatives, etc. Doing so is relatively easy, as well.

Nachteile

I cannot think of any cons. Exam.net is a wonderful tool. The students appreciate a clean and simple interface, and I enjoy the time I save not having to grade quizzes and tests. I am slowly building an electronic library of quizzes and tests, hopefully to use in years to come.

Vorteile

How easy it is to prepare exams and make the students take the exams

Nachteile

I rarely see any big issues with exam.net. Most problems are pretty easy to find a workaround for

Vorteile

It is very easy to upload exams as a pdf file and to make the settings right for each student.

Nachteile

That when a pop-up shows in a students screen of the laptop, the test will freeze and the student is blocked, while he/she didn't do anything wrong.

Vorteile

The ability to easily share tests and that it is secure.

Nachteile

It should be a way to import and export your tests so that you can easily duplicate your tests and. It is annoying to search through the archive. If one instead could export and import from Excel things would be easier.

Vorteile

I liked the easiness of organizing and performing exams

Nachteile

There is nothing wrong with the system. Everything works fine

Vorteile

Very secure when doing the national tests in Sweden (Nationella proven), not that difficult to create tests, add documents and overall user friendly.

Nachteile

I would like more options when it comes to quizes, for example no keys when students shut them down and wants to open them again. An easier way of over-viewing the questions, in the case you want to add a question it doesn't end up added at the bottom and you have to bit by bit pull it up.

Vorteile

Marking by question is very useful in remaining objective.

Nachteile

I would like the ability to turn off half marks if I chose to.

Vorteile

The facility using the environment when I have to create exams.

Nachteile

To be honest, just cost... I know it is not to expensive, but it could be lower.

Vorteile

Many features that help with the dynamics of the exam or test... like Geogebra, animations (gif), formulas editing, etc...Automatic grading is excellent

Nachteile

To include Geogebra to design workshops or tests. Now is just a tool for students, but not teachers.To include the corresponding calculator reference for IB programs (simulator)To include in the lower security or basic level of security some additional notification about the student´s suspicious activity during the exam for teachers or admin. Recognition of not allowed IA or copy/ pasting. To upload activities using the laptop camera, not the phone to avoid misunderstanding during classes

Vorteile

The overall user interface. Different possibilities to ask questions.

Nachteile

Lacking adaptation possibilities. Import of other dokument. Possibilities of paste website links into pupils answer. Combining dirrent answer possibilities. Select input from a drop down list instead of free text.

Vorteile

Easy to use, doesnt require students to down load any program.

Nachteile

It is difficult to edit text, both when creating tests, but also for students when they are writing.

Vorteile

Grading and security including recap of the questions analysis

Nachteile

Need a stable internet connection and is a little bit complicated for writing formulas in physics and Maths for students because they are using keyboards
