> Beitrag lesenThe future of testing in the crafts sector is digital!
The introduction of digitally supported examinations in the crafts sector has already been offering many advantages in individual skilled crafts organizations for several years. The change from paper-based to digitally supported examinations is taking place gradually. In addition, the Corona pandemic has given a boost to digitization in everyday teaching and working life, and thus also in the examination system. Since November 2020, the ProNet Handwerk team has been working on how the examination process in the crafts sector can be streamlined and simplified nationwide with the help of digitally supported examinations. The goal is to establish examination software that is precisely tailored to the requirements of the crafts sector.

65 percent of German medical faculties are members in UCAN
The UCAN network is now the largest association of medical faculties at both national and international level. The exchange of exam questions and knowledge are essential pillars of our close cooperation. We are therefore very pleased that with the accession of the Goethe University Frankfurt and the University Hospital Jena, 65% of the German medical faculties are now members of the UCAN network. This speaks to the fact that more and more faculties are using and appreciating the UCAN tools for standardizing the assessment processes within their institution. We look forward to the new collaborations and welcome our new partners to UCAN.
