Information and practising possibilities are provided in German and English directly on Moodle-Exam. See the pages Informationen und Probekurs für Studierende - Prüfungsverfahren (if your are scheduled to take an examination procedure with test/assessment) and Informationen und Probekurs für Studierende - Einreichungen (you are scheduled to submit coursework, project work or term papers).

For Moodle-Exam, please use the same login credentials (university account) as you do for the Moodle learning platform. If you encounter any problems, please contact IT Support.

Try using a different browser to log in. It may also help to clear your cache or to enter your login credentials manually instead of using auto-fill. If the problem persists, please contact IT Support.

Type the password in plain text in a local document, such as Word.

Error: Everything is in uppercase = Caps Lock is enabled → Press the Caps Lock key.
Error: “y” and “z” are swapped, special characters don't work = English keyboard layout is enabled → Switch to German using ALT and Shift

The exam course should appear on your dashboard. If you have any problems, please contact your teacher.

Check if you have checked boxes I and II on the moodle-exam course and whether the exam time has already begun. If these requirements are met, contact the instructor.

Are there Confirmation I and II that must be read and checked off first? If so, you will only be able to access the Assignment activity after doing so. If this does not resolve the issue, please contact your instructor.

When you open a Word file, a small message box appears. In this box, you can click Enable Editing. If you simply click away from this message, you will not be able to edit the document. In this case, you should restart Word.

Restart your device. If the problems persist, you may want to use a different text editor. Make sure the format of the edited file is accepted when you upload it.

This problem can occur, for example, in the Chrome browser. Click the question icon and use the arrow keys to select from the drop-down menu.

There could be several reasons for this. Has the submission deadline passed? Is the file format correct? If you’re using a scanning app, please check to make sure you’ve actually created a PDF and selected it (it’s usually saved on your smartphone under [Username] > Documents > Office Lens). Alternatively, instead of dragging and dropping the file into the corresponding field, use the file browser.

The instructor has specified which file types are accepted for submission. If you cannot find any information about the file type in the assignment instructions, please contact the instructor. 

The maximum file size that can be uploaded for the Assignment activity is set to 250 MB by default. However, the instructor may further limit this size. Therefore, please check with the instructor in charge of your exam.

Be sure to upload the files within the time limit. Sometimes, a technical time buffer (depending on your department and instructor) is already added to the standard exam time.

Please check with your instructor. Under no circumstances should you send exam papers to elearning@hs-niederrhein.de or other university email addresses unless you have been asked to do so.

For the Test activity, the system automatically saves your work after each page change. For the Assignment activity, this depends on the software used to complete the assignment. In Word, students must configure the settings themselves to determine whether and how often automatic saving occurs.

Exam preparation courses often use what is known as completion tracking. Once a question has been answered, a green box appears next to it with a ‘checkmark’ and the label completed. In some cases, this may take up to one minute after the end of the time limit.
