Educational Institution

Educational institutions in Germany are institutions that offer and implement school and vocational training measures in the field of education and further education on behalf of the state. (Linked page in German.) 

Rights of Exploitation

The purpose of exploitation rights is to ensure that the author can derive an economic benefit from his or her created work. The legislator distinguishes between physical and non-physical forms of exploitation. (Linked page in German.) 

E-Assessment

"E-Assessment" offers a variety of new forms of examination, which make the examination process easier for teachers, for example through electronic support and implementation. In addition to checking learning success, it also provides students with information on the status of their own learning process. The term "e-assessment" continues to be frequently associated with automatically analysable mass examinations, which enable students to obtain rapid feedback on their examination results. (Source: Arnold, Patricia; Kilian, Lars; Thillosen, Anne; Zimmer, Gerald (2018): Handbuch E-Learning. 5. Aufl. Bielefeld: S.38ff.)

E-Examination

By e-exams we mean computer-assisted examinations that are conducted in person. They offer more possibilities compared to conventional paper exams and can save time resources in the long run due to the automatic evaluation. For e-exams, the HRZ provides a pool of 100 notebooks with associated network infrastructure for JLU members. The exam notebooks can be set up in a suitable room during the lecture-free period. Larger numbers of participants in several sessions are also possible. Smaller exams can also be held in other rooms with existing PC equipment, for example in the HRZ or in the CIP cluster of the University Library. (Linked page in German.) 

E-Learning

The term "e-learning" is often used in a very generalised way in the context of higher education, but there is much more to it than is initially assumed. As the name suggests, e-learning refers to all forms of learning that use electronic or digital media. In particular, the term "e-learning" aims at an arrangement of digital media and virtual learning spaces. It can be used individually or also jointly in a group for competence development and education. The learning contents are presented here in a multimedia format and enable users to work on them autonomously and independently of location within a self-determined time frame. (Quelle: Arnold, Patricia; Kilian, Lars; Thillosen, Anne; Zimmer, Gerald (2018): Handbuch E-Learning. 5. Aufl. Bielefeld: S.23)

E-Portfolio

E-portfolios are web-based folders that integrate different digital media and services and are used especially in e-learning to collect digital (performance) certificates. They resemble a personal website and can be used by students to demonstrate their competence and reflect on their learning process. As a rule, e-portfolios can be made public to varying degrees and can, for example, be available online to all interested parties, be visible only to certain persons (e.g. a learning group or individual teachers) or be used individually and non-publicly as a kind of learning diary with the aim of developing one's own competence profiles and increasing learning success by reflecting on what has been learned. (Linked page in German.)

E-Exam

With e-exams you can efficiently test and evaluate the learning success of your students. See also Scanner Exam, E-exam, Peer Feedback or E-portfolio.

The advantages of electronic exams are obvious:

  • The test results are automatically evaluated immediately after the test (e-examination and scanner examination).
  • No errors in the transfer and evaluation of data (e- and scanner exam).
  • Free-text answers are readable and can therefore be evaluated manually more quickly (e-examination).
  • The creation of e-exams is comfortable and easy to learn (e- and scanner exam).
  • The test items can be provided with pictures, videos or animations (e-examination).
  • There are suitable task types for different types of learning content (all forms).
  • The question pools in the database can be reused as desired (e- and scanner exam).
  • Question order and answer options can be mixed up, so that each examinee can take a different test (e- and scanner exam).
  • The use of formative methods helps students and examiners to avoid the cumulative burden of exams at the end of the semester and also promotes the reflexive and cooperative competencies of students (e-portfolio and peer procedure).

E-Teaching

The term "e-teaching" (electronic teaching) aims in particular at the perspective of the teacher and the teaching, whereas the term e-learning refers to the arrangement of digital learning media and virtual spaces. (Source: Arnold, Patricia; Kilian, Lars; Thillosen, Anne; Zimmer, Gerald (2018): Handbuch E-Learning. 5. Aufl. Bielefeld: S.23)

E-Test

Accompanying e-tests can help learners to determine their own level of knowledge. The e-tests can be easily created and automatically evaluated via ILIAS so that the learners receive direct feedback. In ILIAS it is easy to implement by the tool "exercise". (Linked page in German.)
