Pilot project with the “Physician Assistance”

Within the framework of a joint pilot project between the Fliedner Fachhochschule Düsseldorf (FFH), the Ostbayrische Technische Hochschule Amberg-Weiden (OTH-AW) and the UCAN Assessment Network, the first examination in the “Physician Assistance” course of studies was successfully completed.

On July 20, 2020 36 students of the FFH took part in the paper-based exam in the subject “Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology I” with a total of 45 questions of the question types TypA, KPrim and free text. The exam is read and evaluated with the scanner system KLAUS.

Four days later, the computer-based written exam with the UCAN tool CAMPUS took place at the OTH-AW. Spread over a total of six computer rooms, a total of 85 students took part in the written exam for the module “Anatomy and Physiology II” in two consecutive rounds, while observing the corona hygiene measures. 36 LongMenu, KPrim and TypA questions were used. The Examinator2 evaluation tool is used to calculate the exam results and the test statistics.

We are pleased that we are able to cooperate and learn from each other in the pilot project with the Physician Assistance course of study, which is not yet represented for the UCAN Assessment Network, and would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their good, successful and valuable cooperation.
