Editor

Built-in text editing (editor) is an alternative to the student uploading their completed answer in DE. It is primarily intended for on-site tests with a lockdown browser, where there is no access to text editors (such as word), but is also available as an option for exams without invigilation.

• The student can answer an exam task directly in the Digital Exam via the editor
• The student can – if selected in the exam – draw and insert pictures and use the webcam to photograph notes
• The student can – if selected in the exam – upload notes before the exam, which will be available during the exam and other tools such as a calculator
• The student’s submission’s are automatically converted to PDF and placed as regular answers in the Digital Exam under the hand-in tab
• If editor is added to an exam with invigilation Digital Exam will automatically hand-in the assignment on behalf of the student when the exam ends

Setup

• Text editing is set up on a exam by the administrator by clicking on tab Text editing tab and checking the box “Use built-in text editor”
• When the box is checked, the various tools mentioned above can be selected and thus made available to the students during the exam. The folowing can be made available
  • Spell checker
  • Uploading notes, that the student can access during the exam
  • Calculator
  • Webcam
  • Freehand drawing
  • Specific urls
    If access has been granted to e.g. https://www.retsinformation.dk/, the access also applies automatically to all links from the page that contains https://www.retsinformation.dk/ e.g. https://www.retsinformation. dk/eli/retsinfo/2023/9291
  • In addition to the displayed urls from within the editor hand-in, access can also be given to “sub-urls”, which do not appear as independent sites, but where access is available, for example if access is granted to https://www.dr. dk then access can be secured to e.g. https://www.pressenaevnet.dk/ (which is listed on the dr.dk page)
    NB It is recommended to test access to these sub’urls, as some subpages have extra “redirects” that are not immediately detected and as a result cannot be accessed by the student. Both the link and the redirect must be allowed (eg links to Høringsportalen must allow both https://hoeringsportalen.dk/ og https://www.hoeringsportalen.dk/
