6. EXAM MANAGEMENT BY PORTAL
ROLES
The portal will contain different roles for the exam portal that determine the level of access and permissions within the system. Here are the main user roles that wil be built in portal:
Administrator: The highest level of access in PORTAL. Administrators have full control over the entire site, including system settings, user management, course creation, and plugin management.
Course Creator: Course Creators can create and manage courses. They have control over course settings, activities, and resources within the courses they create but do not have administrative privileges for the entire site.
Teacher: Teachers have control over specific courses. They can add and manage course content, create assessments, grade assignments, facilitate discussions, and interact with students within their assigned courses.
Non-Editing Teacher: Non-Editing Teachers have similar capabilities to Teachers but do not have the ability to edit or modify course content. They can view and interact with course materials and engage with students, but they cannot make changes to the course structure or content.
Student: Students are enrolled in courses and have access to course materials, activities, assessments, and communication tools. They can participate in discussions, submit assignments, and view grades.
Guest: Guests have limited access to certain areas of the portal site. They can view public content, but they cannot participate in activities, submit assignments, or access restricted areas.
Observer: Observers have limited access to monitor the progress and activities of other users, usually associated with specific students. This role is often used for parents or guardians who need to track the progress of their children.
Manager: Managers have administrative access to specific courses or a group of courses. They can perform course-related administrative tasks, such as enrolling users, managing grades, and configuring course settings, within the courses they are assigned.
Group Leader: Group Leaders have administrative control over specific groups within a course. They can manage group enrollment, activities, and discussions for the assigned groups.
Support User: Support Users have limited administrative access to assist users with technical issues or provide support. They can view user data and provide assistance without having full administrative privileges.
COURSES
A course in the portal that will be created is an area where a teacher will add resources and activities for their students to complete. It might be a simple page with downloadable documents or it might be a complex set of tasks where learning progresses through interaction.
The course page is made up of central sections which contain the tasks and (if desired) blocks to the side. The course teacher has control over the layout of the course homepage and can change it at any time.
Progress can be tracked in a number of ways.
Students can be enrolled manually by the teacher, automatically by the administrator, or they can be allowed to enrol themselves. Students can also be added to groups if they need to be separated from classes sharing the same course or if tasks need to be differentiated.

TRACKING PROGRESS
There would be several ways to track student progress portal. The following description outlines what is available to teachers in a course to track progress.
GRADES
COMPETENCIES
ACTIVITY COMPLETION
COURSE COMPLETION
BADGES
COURSE REPORTS
ANALYTICS
GRADES
Every course will have its own Gradebook which is accessible from portal. Some activities such as ASSIGNMENT and EXAMS send grades back to this gradebook. It is also possible for teachers to enter grades directly into the gradebook.
COMPETENCIES
COMPETENCIES describe the level of understanding or proficiency of a learner in certain subject-related skills. Competency-based education (CBE), also known as Competency-based learning or Skills-based learning, refers to systems of assessment and grading where students demonstrate these competencies.
ACTIVITY COMPLETION
If ACTIVITY COMPLETION allows teachers can indicate for each course item how they wish it to be registered as complete. A tick/checkmark will then appear against the activity. Students may either mark it complete manually or the item will automatically be registered as complete once a student has met the specified criteria. These may be viewing a resource, submitting an assignment, posting in a forum or other conditions. The teacher can see an overview of who has completed what in the activity completion report in Course
COURSE COMPLETION
As an extension of activity completion, COURSE COMPLETION will allow for a course to be officially marked as finished, either manually or automatically according to speficied criteria. If the Course completion status block is added, students can see their progress during the course. Teachers can view the overall progress of students towards course completion.
BADGES
BADGES can be awarded either manually or using activity completion settings in a course and are a popular way to motivate students. Students may be awarded badges at different stages of the course for different levels of progress.
COURSE REPORTS
A number of Course reports are available to the teacher in their course to help them track the progress of their students. In addition to the activity and course completion reports mentioned above there are also activity reports, participation reports and general course logs.
ANALYTICS
The ANALYTICS feature will provide detailed descriptive and prescriptive reports to support learners at risk.
7. EXAMS
The EXAM is a very powerful activity that can meet many teaching needs, from simple, multiple-choice knowledge tests to complex, self-assessment tasks with detailed feedback.
Questions are created and stored separately in a QUESTION BANK and can be reused in different EXAMS.
When creating an EXAM you can either make the questions first and add them to the EXAM, or add an EXAM activity and create the questions as you go along.
TYPE OF QUESTIONS THAT CAN BE TAKEN IN AN EXAM
Calculated questions
Calculated multichoice question.
Calculated simple
Embedded answers (CLOZE) type of questions
ESSAY type questions
Matching items questions
Multiple choice questions
Numerical questions
Random short answer questions
10.true/false type questions

The students will see the exams as below with time limits and questions and navigation.
The student after finishing the course will see a summary for their convenience to submit or review.
EXAM REPORTS
GRADE REPORTS
Grade reports shows all the students’ EXAM attempts, with the overall grade, and the grade for each question. There are links to review all the details of a student’s attempt, just as the student would see it.
There will be a setting form at the top of the page that can be used to control what is displayed.
enrolled users who have attempted the exam;
enrolled users who have not attempted the exam;
enrolled users who have, or have not, attempted the exam;
all users who have attempted the exam
There is a setting form at the top of the page that can be used to control what is displayed.
At the bottom of the page is a graph showing the distribution of scores.
There are check boxes to allow you to individually regrade or delete the selected attempts.
By clicking on the score link, you are able to look at an individual student exam.
Responses report
This is very similar to the Grades report, except that it shows the responses the students gave, rather than the marks they earned.
It is also possible to show the question text or the right answer, to compare with the student’s response. This is helpful when the question is randomised.
For exams with interactive question behaviour, it is possible to display responses for the first, last or all tries a student makes:
Statistics report
This report gives a statistical (psychometric) analysis of the exam, and the questions within it. The front page of this report gives a summary of the whole test. There are then links to drill down into a detailed analysis of a particular question.
The full report (overview, and detailed analysis of all questions) can be downloaded in a variety of formats, as can the exam structure analysis table.
Please refer to EXAM statistics report for more detailed information about the different types of statistics that can be gathered via this link.
Manual grading report
The EXAM manual grading report makes it easy to manually grade questions in the exam.
The first screen of the report lists all the questions in the exam that need to be, or have been, manually graded (for example essay questions) with the number of attempts. There is an option to also show the questions that have been automatically graded, which if useful if you ever need to edit the grades by hand.
