My Dundee Exam Modules

Turnitin will be used as a submission point for text-based exams (like short answer questions or essays). Turnitin will generate a similarity report that can be accessed by instructors.

The Turnitin exam module in My Dundee will contain relevant instructions and guidance for students, practice and live submission points and information for students on how to access support during their exams.

It will be the responsibility of the module leader/School to:

1. Add any relevant exam specific information.
2. Adjust the Exam Submission Point settings as necessary, including the due date and post date.
3. Upload the exam paper and edit the release conditions.
4. Release the module to students.
5. Contact the students to inform them of the exam process.

More information and guidance on each of the above points will be provided in the Turnitin exam module.

Blackboard Tests can be used where you want to create computer marked multiple choice style questions, or tutor marked short answer style questions (or a combination of both) within Blackboard and students have to complete the exam within Blackboard. This will usually be a shorter, time-limited exam which makes use of the ‘Time limit’ functionality.

Blackboard Assignments can be used where you want to upload a pre-prepared exam paper (e.g. a Word file) and will require the student to prepare their answer offline in a document (e.g. a Word file) then upload their final answer. This is likely to be used for tutor marked exams which have a longer duration of exam window (e.g. 8 or 23 hours). This submission point can be used for a variety of different file types (not just text based exams).

The Blackboard exam module in My Dundee will contain relevant instructions and guidance for students, practice and live submission points (for Blackboard Tests and Assignments) and information for students on how to access support during their exams.
