Where is bizExaminer hosted?

In the standard package, bizExaminer is hosted in a certified Austrian data center under strict security measures. bizExaminer can, however, also be put into operation on the client's servers if desired. Depending on the planned workload and reliability, bizExaminer can also simply be put into operation in a cluster.

How many exams can be carried out at the same time?

With the standard package in the standard configuration, up to 1,000 exams can be started at the same time and up to 3,000 exams can be carried out at the same time.

In the case of installation on client servers, the server(s) will be sized together with the client according to their requirements.

What happens if the Internet connection fails during the exam?

The exam can continue seamlessly. If the connection is still interrupted when the exam is submitted, then the answers given or solutions worked out can be saved in encrypted form on the client computer and later uploaded by an authorized person in the bizExaminer back office.

What if the exam computer crashes?

After logging in again, the test can be continued seamlessly from the last version saved on the server.

How does bizExaminer differ from solutions such as Moodle?

bizExaminer is a pure exam system and has been optimized to the highest degree. You don't need a technician for this, and it's largely self-explanatory.

What do I have to pay attention to when using the "online from home" exams?

You need to know what level of "remote proctoring" you want to have and whether this should be done by machine, by your own staff or by external service providers. bizExaminer offers a full range of options, and if this topic is new to you, we will be happy to provide you with advice specific to your situation. Please also note the separate point "remote proctoring" in the features.

Can exam content be imported?

Are closed and open question formats supported?

Open question types can be combined with automatically assessable question types in an exam configuration. If there are any open questions, a manual assessment process is initiated.
