IT.SERVICES provides central solutions for electronic assessments at RUB. We want to establish a service for e-assessments on campus and in remote settings.
We want to facilitate electronic assessments at RUB in a controlled and secure environment. The authenticity and integrity of the exams, technical security, compliance with privacy and examination regulations, ease of use, equal opportunity, comparability of the exam conditions and a high quality of exam tasks, questions and activities are our main goals.
We support and advise examinators and students together with the Zentrum für Wissenschaftsdidaktik (ZfW) in all phases of the examination process. Furthermore, we are in charge of the operation of the central e-assessment rooms at the Ruhr University Bochum, exam-related software development and system administration. We are responsible for the technical aspects of the PlagScan portal of RUB, too.
We provide a separate Moodle instance as the examination system in the central e-assessment rooms on campus. The examination system is independent of our central Learning-Management-System (RUB-Moodle) and it is specifically configured for e-assessments.
The existing rooms that are suitable for e-asssessments at Ruhr University Bochum were substantially expanded. The construction and setup of the new E-Assessment-Center in GAFO 04 has been finished and we have already reached two milestones in summer semester 2024: Over 100 exams have taken place in the E-Assessment-Center with more than 10.000 students.
There are 253 PCs on specifically designed desks. The room can be divided with a mobile partition wall, so that 168 PCs will be available in the large area and 85 PCs will be available in the smaller area. The maximum amount of students per cohort is 240, because several seats are always reserved to safeguard against failures.
Highlights:
- specifically setup inclusion area
- desks that are designed for electronic exams, silent keyboards
- reliable modern technical equipment
- a customized media concept and a high performance air conditioning and room climate control system
- a comfortable and modern room design with an appropriate light concept
- secured server and storage rooms
- a secure and reliable network infrastructure
- a service desk on site
Please, mark your calendars! We kindly invite you to a guided tour in the E-Assessment-Center with Prof. Dr. Kornelia Freitag, Prorektorin für Lehre und Studium, on Thursday, 14th November 2024, from 2:00 until 4:00 p.m.
We are also happy to announce the Themenreihe “Digital prüfen” (topic series "digital examinations"), hosted by Zentrum für Wissenschaftsdidaktik in winter semester 2024/25. You can find further information and the event schedule here.

We cover the topic of digital assessments together with the Zentrum für Wissenschaftsdidaktik and Dezernat 1. We also share ideas and best practices with the colleagues of other universities. We created a rich portfolio of various support and information offers.
The Moodle course 'elektronische Prüfungen an der RUB' summarizes key information and provides an overview of various related topics.
A click on the button will take you to the E-Assessment Calendar. There, you can use the online form to book an electronic exam.
