A great number of university students’ work during their studies, leading to problems with the scheduling of courses and examinations. One way to solve the problem related to exams is to utilize electronic tests, which allow flexible timetables and video-based control against cheating. In Finland, a consortium of 20 universities is using a recently developed electronic examination system called Exam. The system supports essay and multiple choice examinations in particular. In this study, we experiment with the Exam system in computer programming tests. The outcome of the study is discussed from both the students’ and teachers’ perspectives.
