At KIT, examiners can also conduct their examinations digitally. They can choose between different scenarios. In remote scenarios, students take the exam with their own device from a location of their choice outside the KIT premises. In on-campus scenarios, the exams are conducted in the KIT pool rooms on KIT computers.
The legal framework at KIT is provided by the statutes for conducting online examinations at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) published on June 30, 2023.Some of the scenarios have been developed in the context of the coronavirus pandemic since summer 2020. Since then, the scenarios have been continuously expanded.
For the remote scenarios "Open Book Upload Examination" and "Open Book Online Examination" you will find further information on the respective subpages.
On the "On-campus scenarios" page, you can find out more about the "Upload exam in the pool room" and "Online exam in the pool room" exam scenarios and gain an impression of the variety of digital on-campus exams under "Good practices".
