Online examinations with TUWEL
We offer detailed guides in EDIN, the E-Didactic Guide, to help you get ready for online exams with TUWEL. You can also find further information in the TUcoLAB section of the Distance Learning Team website (Link, opens an external URL in a new window).
However, experience shows that individual requirements or subject-specific questions often arise, which require an individual consultation. We would be happy to support you in this regard as part of our weekly office hour. We would be happy to assess, e.g. the settings for your TUWEL course and tests and the configuration of various TUWEL question types, etc.
