New Features

Live Exam Dashboard for OSCE exams.

The live exam dashboard allows you to select criteria or a combination of criteria that you wish to monitor live during an exam. In your set up, you can choose whether you want to see marks summed or averaged and for any mandatory, discrete criteria. You can also choose to display a one letter abbreviation to enhance readability of the dashboard.

You can choose a maximum of three values to display on the Live Exam Dashboard.

During the exam, users will be presented with a live view of the grades given to candidates as the exam progresses. The live exam dashboard is not dependent on any user interaction like refreshing the page, candidate data is shown as soon as it is received in the system. All circuits are shown on one screen.

The live exam dashboard also shows any help requests coming in from iPads, the examiner who sent it and the type of help requested (as set up on your instance). You can choose to play a sound when a new help request is received.

With the upcoming release of the iPad version 8.0.2, the dashboard will show the room that the help request is sent from by highlighting it on the live exam dashboard.

Using the live exam dashboard will provide:

  • A live view of grades being submitted

  • Instant view of overall scores and the borderline judgement alignment according to your set up and needs

  • Ability to check for consistency in marking between circuits

  • Monitor poorly performing stations

Improvements

  • The user interface on the Global Marking Criteria page has been redesigned. To give a better overview and cleaner look and feel, the many buttons have been combined under a single dropdown button.

  • The process for creating and updating a marksheet for an OSCE exam has been redesigned. The UI is clearer. When an item has been submitted for review and is pending, the schema and criteria moves to local and the schema and sheet type can no longer be edited. This is to avoid direct connection between a marksheet and a global schema. Additionally, local criteria cannot be added when an item is pending.

You can find updated instructions on how to create an OSCE marksheet here.

  • Customers who use Multipart Written Questions can now choose if they wish to include a summary field on the item and if they do whether this should be mandatory or optional to complete when creating the question.

Bug Fixes

  • Excel has a character limit of 30 on sheet names. The Candidate ID Mapping export to Excel would fail when session names were over 30 characters long. The system will now automatically shorten the session names to 30 characters prior to exporting the candidate ID mapping.

  • SEB key validation to accept keys hashed with app download URL for the modern setting

  • Proctoring configuration save function issue addressed

  • When changing a part of an MWQ to a label, CountAs tagging is removed

  • Itemset download criteria CountAs export fixed
