Workshop Invite | May – June 2026
Are you ready for the online exams? Do you have the basic skills to complete a Quiz/MCQ assessment or a Written/File Upload assessment?
To ensure that you have the required skills to participate in the examinations successfully, the Student Digital Resilience Programme will be hosting a series of structured webinars.
These sessions will focus on:
- How to navigate the online examination platform, myExams
- The different online assessments you can expect
- What a proctoring app is and how it will be used in the examination
- Academic integrity in an online examination
- Provisions for students with special needs in an online examination
