Workshop information

The workshop aims to support academic staff with the design of open-book examinations for the digital environment.

The first hour of the workshop (13.00 – 13.50) shares Faculty-specific experiences of open-book examination and explores benefits and challenges of open-book in the context of Health Sciences. We also consider key strategies supporting academic integrity in digital open-book assessment.

In the second hour of the workshop (14.00 – 14.50) colleagues will work with peers in cognate disciplines to review and re-design questions for use in open-book environments. Colleagues staying for this second hour are requested to bring an example of a current closed-book exam question that they would like to re-work for an open-book format (‘long or short window’).

Participant takeaways:

• Strategies that support academic integrity in digital open-book assessment.
• Redesign of a closed-book exam question appropriate for open-book environments.
