On-campus exams in the pool room
In the on-campus scenarios, the examination is carried out in the centrally managed pool rooms of the KIT. Students work on the tasks provided on one of the KIT computers, which is placed in a separate mode for the duration of the exam.
The computers available in the pool rooms are configured in advance for the respective exam using a virtual machine. In this way, the examination environment can be designed variably and the range of functions of the PCs can be limited to the applications required for processing.
Various forms of "online exams" and "upload exams" can currently be realized in the KIT pool rooms. Further information on the scenarios can be found on the respective subpages.

Advantages of digital on-campus examinations
The pool room scenarios combine the advantages of a traditional face-to-face exam such as increased security against cheating through supervision, optional privacy screens between seats and proof of identity and presence of the exam participants with supporting technical functions such as restricting network access.
Compared to the remote scenarios permitted at KIT, the pool room scenarios offer comparable starting conditions for all exam participants thanks to the infrastructure provided and, in addition to simplified technical support, allow uniform transmission of exam data.
Various forms of online and upload examinations can currently be realized in the KIT pool rooms. Further information on the scenarios can be found on the respective subpages.
In addition to the pool room scenarios, 40 mobile devices are currently available for purely online examinations on campus. You can find out more under "Online exams with Chromebooks"
On the "Good Practices" page, KIT lecturers present various use cases of digital on-campus examinations and report on their experiences.
