Über Next-Exam


Mit Hilfe von Next-Exam können Schulen schnell und unkompliziert eine sichere digitale Prüfungsumgebung bereitstellen, die Datenschutz, Sicherheit vor Schummeln und vor allem Sicherheit vor Datenverlust während der Prüfung garantiert.

Die Zielgruppe dieser Software besteht in erster Linie aus AHS und MS an denen die notwendige Infrastruktur für Prüfungsumgebungen, die ein kabelgebundenes LAN, Domaincontroller und Benutzerkonten benötigen, sowie das Personal um derart komplexe Systeme zu warten fehlt.
Diese setzen in der Regel oft auf BYOD (bring your own device).

Derzeit werden folgende Prüfungsmodi unterstützt:
Mathematik (Geogebra)
Sprachen (Ein Texteditor mit optionaler Rechtschreibhilfe in Englisch, Deutsch, Französisch, Spanisch und Italienisch)
Eduvidual (Schüler:innen erhalten Zugang zu einem Eduvidual bzw. Moodle Test)
Google Forms (Schüler:innen wird das gewünschte Google Formular zum Ausfüllen angezeigt)
Microsoft 365 (Ein von der Lehrperson gewähltes Excel Sheet oder Word Dokument kann von den Schüler:innen bearbeitet werden)
Website (Eine von der Lehrperson gewählte URL wird bei den Schüler:innen geöffnet)




Vorraussetzungen

Next-Exam benötigt eine Netzwerkverbindung (LAN, Wireless LAN, optional Internet) und kann derzeit auf den Betriebssystemen
Windows, Linux und MacOS in Form einer "portable" App genutzt werden.


Entwicklung

Next-Exam wird unter der freien Lizenz GPLv3 entwickelt und darf der Lizenz entsprechend eingesetzt und verbreitet werden.
Die Entwicklung der Software kann auf GitLab verfolgt werden.

Die digitale Prüfungsumgebung ist im Kontext des "LiFE" Projektes unter dem Namen "Life-Exam" entstanden und wurde "from scratch" Plattformübegreifend mit modernen Technolgien neu konzipiert und entwickelt. Die Entwicklung von Next-Exam wird vom Verein OSOS unterstützt.

FAQ


Muss ich eine Firewallausnahme zulassen?
Es handelt sich bei Next-Exam um eine Netzwerkapplikation.
Um volle Funktionsfähigkeit zu gewährleisten muss die Firewall die App durchlassen.
Sollte die Ausnahme für die Schüler:innen nicht gesetzt werden können, so muss für den Verbindungsaufbau
die IP Adresse der Lehrperson genutzt werden.

Welche Ports werden von Next-Exam verwendet?
Die Teacher-API (Schnittstelle) nutzt den Port 22422 (tcp).
Um "autodiscovery" von Prüfungen zu ermöglichen sollte im lokalen Netzwerk zudem Multicast erlaubt sein.
Die Multicastports (udp) in Verwendung sind 6024 und 6025.

Microsoft Edge blockiert den Download von "unbekannten" Apps.
Quickfix: Chrome oder Firefox benutzen
  • Menü Downloads (oben rechts)
  • Das Menü (3 Punkte) der heruntergeladenen Datei öffnen -> "Beibehalten"
  • Im neuen Dialog "Mehr anzeigen" wählen -> "Trotzdem Beibehalten"

  • Windows warnt vor dem Start von "unbekannten" Apps.
  • Beim Start der App: Erweitert -> "Trotzdem starten"

  • Ist Next-Exam sicher vor Betrugsversuchen?
    Kein System ist Sicher.
    Die Sicherheit einer Prüfung hängt von einer optimalen Kombination aus technischen und organisatorischen Maßnahmen ab.
    Die Software wurde von Beginn an mit hohem Sicherheitsfokus entwickelt und wird kontinuierlich weiter optimiert,
    um den Anforderungen an eine moderne und sichere Prüfungsabwicklung (SRDP) gerecht zu werden.

    Ubuntu 22.04 kann *.AppImage Pakete nicht starten.
  • libfuse2 muss auf Ubuntu nachinstalliert werden.
  • sudo apt install libfuse2

  • Sammelt Next-Exam persönliche Daten von Schüler:innen oder Lehrpersonen?
    Next-Exam sammelt keinerlei Daten.
    Vorhandene Tracking-Skripte in externen Modulen wurden deaktiviert.
    Screenshots der Schüler:innen werden am Teacher-System nicht gespeichert, außer die Software meldet
    den Versuch die Pürfungsumgebung zu verlassen.
    Achtung:.
    Sollten sie den Moodle Prüfungsmodus bzw. die Microsoft365 Option nutzen um eine Prüfung mit Hilfe von Excel abzuhalten,
    verlassen sie die kontrollierte Umgebung von Next-Exam. Es gelten die Datenschutzbestimmungen des jeweiligen Dienstes.

    Wo kann ich Fehler oder Verbesserungsvorschläge anbringen?
    Die Software wird als freie Software auf Gitlab gehostet.
    Bugs und Featurerequests sollten daher hier veröffentlicht werden: GitLab Issues

    Wie kann ich mich für die Entwicklung von Next-Exam erkenntlich zeigen?
    Die Software nutzen, Kolleg:innen einschulen, Bugs melden und Featurerequests einbringen,
    gerne auch spenden. Vielen Dank!
