Pātaka/Exams
Build the paper, lock the devices down, watch every attempt as it happens and mark it in the same place. It was built to take over from a separate online exam service.
Safe Exam Browser on laptops, kiosk mode on school Chromebooks, and a check that the device is what it says it is.
Time left, device, flags and last contact for every student, refreshed every few seconds.
Objective questions mark themselves. Written answers are marked on screen, and results export for KAMAR.
Every student has a row: whether they have started, how long they have left, what they are sitting it on and when the device last checked in. Pause the exam for everyone, end it for everyone, or deal with one student at a time.
Open any student to see what they have written so far, with a running word count. It refreshes every few seconds, so you can see progress and spot who is stuck.
On laptops the exam runs in Safe Exam Browser. On school Chromebooks it runs in kiosk mode, and the device proves that it is managed by the school and has not been switched into developer mode.
A student who leaves the exam is locked out until they say why, and the teacher decides whether to let them back in.
Multiple choice, select all, true or false, number answer, written answer, fill the gaps, match up, put in order and sort into groups, with information blocks between them.
Attach PDFs, images and data tables for students to work from.
Split a paper into sections, group them into windows, and open or close each window when you choose.
Students get into the right exam with a code.
Add other staff to an exam, so it is not tied to one teacher.
A results table for the class, and a file ready for KAMAR.
A demo is the platform itself, not a slide deck. Tell us what your school is wrestling with and we will show you the part of Pātaka that deals with it.
