Exciting presentations and lively discussions focused on practical examples, innovative approaches, and future prospects for digital competency-based examinations. Guests were able to try out digital exams for themselves and give feedback to the teachers who had shaped the project throughout its duration. The aim of “ii.oo” was to align exam tasks more closely with real-life professional situations, promote transferability and problem-solving skills, and make targeted use of selected digital tools and media, such as drag-and-drop or automated feedback. A particular focus was placed on ensuring that learning objectives, teaching methods, and exams were consistently aligned with one another in order to guarantee reliable, competency-oriented teaching and learning quality.
The conference was opened by Prof. Dr. Klaus Kreulich, Vice President for Studies and Teaching at Munich University of Applied Sciences, followed by welcoming remarks from the Bavarian State Ministry of Education and the Arts. A special impetus came from Prof. Dr. László Kovács (Augsburg University of Applied Sciences), who philosophically examined the significance of examinations in his presentation “What's it all for – Digital examinations in historical change.”
Four “exploration missions” took participants to workshops on Moodle, Mahara, EXaHM, and AI. During the subsequent Galaxy Walk, the nine partner universities presented their examples of good practice—including HNU with the project by Prof. Dr. Julia Kormann and Prof. Dr. Wilke Hammerschmidt.
Finally, a hero's journey through the ii.oo galaxy offered insights into the future of digital testing, before a panel discussion shed light on the use of AI in testing and the concrete perspectives of the participating institutions.
