Ans
Ans is the standard assessment tool for the entire TU Delft (see here for an overview of assessment tools).
Two Ans courses: which is for which?
As mentioned above, two Ans courses can be created for each course in the study guide.
-
This course is meant for written or digital exams that are scheduled as such.
- Digital exams: The Digital Exam Desk will take care of the settings of the exam and give students access to the exam based on their registration for the exam, and on whether they are entitled to extra time.
- Print-scan exams: In the future, the Digital Exam Desk will also facilitate the process of printing and scanning the exam.
-
This course is meant for assignments of a formative nature, e.g. homework assignments. You can link from Brightspace to specific assignments in your Ans Brightspace course. As of 24 April 2023, scores/grades from Ans can be pushed to Brightspace Gradebook for links to assignments that were created after the 24 April 2023.
When to use Ans
It can be used for the following assessments:
-
Printed exams that are graded online. Students can review the graded exams online as well. Please use the Ans "EXAM” course.
-
Students take a digital exam in a secure testing environment. Please use the Ans “EXAM” course.
-
Homework assignments that have a formative nature (i.e. that do not influence the course grade). Please use the Ans "BRIGHTSPACE” course.
-
This option is only available if nothing else is possible, and only after approval of the appropriate board of examiners. Remote (online) exams during which a student is online proctored via their webcam and via screen sharing. Currently only used for students with special needs due to, e.g., functional disabilities or temporary residence abroad due to top sport status.
Please do not add any exam related material (see assessment points 1, 2, 4 above) to your Ans “BRIGHTSPACE” course.
Anyone who has access to your Brightspace course will automatically have access to your Ans BRIGHTSPACE course if it is linked through Brightspace. This means that all academic staff with (instructor) access to your Brightspace course and TAs with faculty access to Brightspace (e.g. TAs at TPM, Teaching Support (student) Assistants) will be able to access your Ans course in an “instructor” role.
