In einer Zeit, in der die Digitalisierung die gesamte Hochschullandschaft massgeblich prägt, gewinnen digitale Prüfungsformate zunehmend an Bedeutung. Sie beeinflussen die Gestaltung der Lehre und als "hidden curriculum" die Arbeitsprozesse der Studierenden. Die sinnvolle Integration der Prüfung in die Kursgestaltung ermöglichen eine nahtlose Abstimmung zwischen Kurslernzielen, Lehr-Lern-Methode und Prüfung, die für einen nachhaltigen Lernerfolg essenziell ist.
Angesichts des verstärkten Einsatzes digitaler Tools in der Lehre ist es häufig erforderlich, die Prüfungen ebenfalls in digitaler Form zu gestalten, um eine durchgängige Abstimmung zwischen Kursgestaltung und Prüfungsformat zu gewährleisten.
Dieser Selbstlernkurs bietet Ihnen von der Konzeption bis zur Durchführung praxisorientierte Inhalte und konkrete Tools, um digitale Prüfungen wirksam zu gestalten und Ihre Kompetenzen in der digitalen schriftlichen, mündlichen und praktischen Prüfungsgestaltung zu erweitern.
Während des Kurses werden Sie verschiedene Strategien, Techniken und Tools zur wirksamen Gestaltung digitaler Prüfungsaufgaben erlernen und umsetzen. Von Multiple-Choice-Fragen bis hin zu interaktiven Aufgabenformaten zu mündlichen Fachgesprächen und Simulationen können Sie lernen, wie Sie die Optionen der digitalen Prüfungsformate nutzen können, um Ihre Prüfungen didaktisch sinnvoll zu gestalten. Sie werden eigene Prüfungsaufgaben für Ihren Kurs entwickeln, unter der Nutzung von den Potentialen digitaler Prüfungen. Im Kurs gestalten Sie unter anderem mit Hilfe der Canvas-Quizzes-Funktion eigene digitale Prüfungsaufgaben. Dabei geht es nicht in erster Linie um die Übertragung von paper-pencil in das digitale Format, sondern vordergründig um die Nutzung von Differenzierungsoptionen und die Steigerung der real-world-Bezüge.
(Hinweis: der Kurs kann in der Grund- und Aufbaustufe Hochschuldidaktik nicht als Wahlpflichtkurs angerechnet werden)

At a time when digitalisation is significantly shaping the entire higher education landscape, digital examination formats are becoming increasingly important. They influence the design of teaching and, as a "hidden curriculum", the work processes of students. The meaningful integration of examinations into course design enables seamless coordination between course learning objectives, teaching and learning methods, and examinations, which is essential for sustainable learning success.
Given the increased use of digital tools in teaching, it is often necessary to design examinations in digital form as well, in order to ensure consistent coordination between course design and examination format.
This self-study course offers you practical content and concrete tools, from conception to implementation, to design effective digital examinations and expand your skills in digital written, oral and practical examination design.
During the course, you will learn and implement various strategies, techniques and tools for effectively designing digital exam tasks. From multiple-choice questions to interactive task formats, oral technical discussions and simulations, you will learn how to use the options offered by digital exam formats to design your exams in a didactically meaningful way. You will develop your own exam tasks for your course, utilising the potential of digital exams. In the course, you will design your own digital exam tasks with the help of the Canvas quizzes function, among other tools. The primary focus is not on transferring paper-and-pencil exams to a digital format, but rather on utilising differentiation options and increasing real-world relevance.
Note: The course cannot be counted as an elective course in the basic and advanced level.
