Abstract:

For educators, there are numerous tasks that are repetitive and time-consuming – year after year, semester after semester. Some of these tasks are e.g. creating new courses, content, tests, and exams. The tests and exams must then be corrected and graded, often within a very short time-frame. Many of these tasks can be made a lot easier (and even automated!) by using available solutions. Examples are:

- Using templates. Using templates for e.g. courses ensures that the organisation has a uniform standard and that students always recognise the environment – regardless of which course and which year
- Sharing content. Using an LOR enables sharing of content, both internally in the organisation or with a greater, global community
-Collaborating. Both educators and students can collaborate with their peers, from anywhere and at any time. No need to send files between each other when everything can be done in the cloud, including co-authoring in real-time
- Sharing and re-using tests and exams. Educators can collaborate and create a test bank with e.g. 500 questions and pull 15 random questions from different categories from the bank every time a student takes the test. The test can automatically be corrected and graded, thus saving time and effort on the educators’ side.
