Safeguarding for errors and shutdowns: immediate saving and storage of all of the exam data entered by the students on the examination server in the university-own data center of ZEDAT
Saving time: Automatic evaluation of closed task formats and a quick manual evaluation of open question formats as no time is lost due to unreadable handwriting
Quality assurance: Through statistic modules (selectivity etc.), through the students' feedback that the TestStudio registers

- For e-examinations the same requirements with regard to content are valid from an examination-didactic viewpoint as with the traditional paper-pencil exams.
- The numerous possible task formats offers possibilities that surpass the traditional paper-pencil exams. Electronic exams can, for example, be enriched with multimedia and interactive elements.
- Within the frame of the migration of traditional to computer-aided examinations the e-examination team of CeDiS can gladly help and offer its services.
- In the first step there is a joint consideration which computer-aided task format is the optimal solution for each and every question posed.
- Hereby it is taken into account that the very clear formulation of a question - for closed tasks also the clear-cut formulation of answer possibilities - is also essential for e-examinations. Technically seen the TestStudio can be operated quite intuitively,
- epecially especially when the rigt right didactic realization is chosen and
- in addition, possibilities for the minimization of the time requirement is used up in the evaluation phase.
- Within the frame of the migration process, the e-examination team demonstrates to lecturers - based on their previous exam questions - how the migration from a paper-pencil exam to an e-examination can be undertaken on a step-to-step basis.
- Most of the e-examinations at the Freie Universität are undertaken in the E-Examination Center in which 151 places are available on an exclusive basis for computer-aided exams.
