What you have to do

  1. Prepare the room in good time.

  2. Allow students into the examination room from approximately 15 minutes before the start.

  3. Have the computers started by the students if they are not already in exam mode.

    • Then Mozilla Firefox opens automatically and the start page of the exam FELIX opens. This may take a few minutes.

    • If Firefox does not start automatically, have the students open Firefox (possibly in the SEB) and enter the following URL: eKlausur.hs-furtwangen.de

  4. Ask the students to follow the steps below (see the instructions in the pool if applicable):

    • Log in with HFU account.

    • Select exam.

    • Click on "Book course/booking".

    • Open any existing materials.

  5. When all students are ready, announce the access code which you have received from the Learning Services Department via email.

  6. When all students see the start button in front of them, give the start signal for the exam.

  7. If a student accidentally logs out or closes the browser window with the materials, proceed as follows:

    • Open eKlausurportal in Firefox browser (SEB if necessary): eKlausur.hs-furtwangen.de

    • Log in again with HFU account and start exam again.

    • Answers saved by the student up to this point will be retained.

  8. If a computer fails, proceed as follows:

    • Change places.

    • If necessary, start the computer, open the eKlausurportal in the Firefox browser (SEB if necessary): eKlausur.hs-furtwangen.de

    • Log in again with HFU account and start exam again.

    • Answers saved by the student up to this point will be retained.

    or contact the Learning Services team directly.

  10. To exit the exam, students must press the exit button in the upper right corner.

  11. Important: please ensure students log out of the FELIX exam and shut down the computer or at least log off.

  12. If you wish to start a second run, contact Learning Services immediately for a restart of the systems.

  13. Before leaving the room or starting a new run, please check if all students have actually logged out.

  14. Before leaving the room, please check that all windows are closed and that anything brought by students has been taken or disposed of.
    Please ensure all doors to the pool are locked.

  15. Contact Learning Services (via ticket, email, or phone) with a request to provide you with the results of your e-exam. If students needed replacement accounts, please send the completed and scanned document with the replacement accounts to Learning Services immediately after the exam.
