Moodle and OLX

Synopsis

This presentation will cover the use of Moodle to develop online exams for quantitative units in the UNE Business School. It will explore some of the challenges faced in converting mathematical paper-based exams to an online form for students who are not always proficient in the use of typing equations into Moodle, discuss the solutions used to develop these exams and will highlight some areas where additional features would improve these exams. A post-exam summary of student performance against historical results will also be provided.
