HAPPY TUESDAY!

How are your studies going? In today's Coffee and Friends the theme is procrastination - a theme that some students might find useful. Procrastination increases stress and anxiety so if you're a procrastinator you might want to seek information about the topic. If you can't make it to the Coffee and Friends meeting, there's plenty of information available in the world wide web. Easy way to start is Nyyti's webpage

Enjoy your week and good luck with your studies!

Kind regards,
Jenni

Participate in the survey:  Online exams and remote monitoring

Dear Teacher or Student, please answer the survey, and influence the procurement of proctoring software for online exams!

Do you think it should be possible to monitor remotely conducted online exams more closely? Would there be users for this kind of software in the University of Eastern Finland?
What kind of features should the software have?

The mapping of the procurement of remote monitoring software, aka proctoring software, for online exams continues. Now we are investigating UEF teachers' and students’ opinions and views on the matter: whether there is a need for procurement, how much use the software would have and what kind of features should be found in it.  

The survey was created based on the responses to an online exam-related survey conducted earlier in the autumn. This survey is only aimed at the staff and students of the University of Eastern Finland, so that we can get a better idea of what kind of needs and ideas exist in our organization in particular. More information available on the attachment.

Answer the survey no later than 30.11.2023 and influence future exam practices! All responses are anonymous.
