Run a university theory exam without paper
From sealed question papers to approved mark sheets: handwritten answers on tablets, blind on-screen evaluation and results in the ERP.
The challenge
Who feels it
- Controller of examinations
- Principal
- Evaluators
A paper university examination moves thousands of answer booklets through printing, packing, transport, coding, evaluation, tabulation and storage. Each step adds delay, cost and a chance for a booklet or a mark to go astray.
Evaluators need the booklets in front of them, external examiners must travel, and marks are typed into spreadsheets before results can be prepared.
How it works with Methodder
- 1
Seal the paper
The question paper is uploaded and stays sealed until the scheduled start of the exam.
- 2
Write on tablets
Students answer MCQs and handwrite theory answers with a stylus on ruled, plain or graph sheets, and sign the cover page on screen.
- 3
Invigilate live
Tablets run in lockdown, invigilators watch the hall live and record malpractice on the spot.
- 4
Evaluate blind
Internal and external evaluators mark anonymised booklets question by question against an answer scheme, from wherever they are.
- 5
Approve and publish
The controller of examinations approves the marks and they are written into ERP mark sheets in one step.
What changes
- No printing, packing or transport of answer booklets
- Evaluators never see names or roll numbers
- External examiners can evaluate without travelling
- Approved marks reach mark sheets without re-typing
