Projects for online exams
A centralised service and support offering with a streamlined standard procedure for online exams is to be developed, especially for the standard exam formats with the activities "Test" and "Task" in Moodle. The departments can make use of this procedure, but do not have to. Requirements that go beyond this are the responsibility of the departments themselves.
The FHP is implementing online examinations with a new Moodle examination platform called Exam as a pilot project from 2022 to the end of 2025 (StEP measure 2.1.5).
Implementation of online exams at the FHP (Moodle Exam)

Development of digital solutions for the supervision of online exams
The cooperation project "online-pruefungen.zdt-brandenburg" has set itself the goal of establishing online examinations as a legally compliant and sustainable examination method. Subsequently, online examinations were anchored in the Framework Regulations for Studies and Examinations (RO-SP) of the FH Potsdam at the beginning of 2023. A study on the implementation and a legal opinion as well as a Moodle course at the FH Potsdam were created to coordinate the amendment of the RO-SP statutes.
