Speaker

Description

Generative AI challenges higher education institutions to rethink assessment. There is a need for reliable ways to ensure fair evaluation. Remote‑proctoring tools cannot reliably detect the use of AI, and organising large digital exams can be difficult. Traditional supervised exam rooms are secure, but not always convenient for students. Finnish higher education institutions have addressed this with EXAM, a national e‑assessment system used by 29 universities and universities of applied sciences. It combines secure exam software with dedicated exam rooms where students can take tests at a time that suits them. Because the exam is taken on the room’s locked‑down computer, the teacher can be certain which applications and tools the student is able to use during the exam.
