Top Hat for Assessment - Monitored Live Tests

Suitable for: This event is suitable for academic staff and PGRs who teach, and SES staff who help set up assessments. Top Hat can be used to deliver synchronous and synchronous tests to students. Most of the question types can be auto-graded.

This course builds on the foundations of Course 1 (Top Hat for Assessment) and shows staff how to set up a live monitored test environment where certain behaviours (i.e. taking a screenshot, trying to open another browser) can cause a student to be locked out of a test. The course also covers how to invigilate a monitored live test.
