We have been fortunate enough to have been given a second on line exam room (seating 18 students) with benching and privacy screening unfortunatley though due to budget restraints I have been told that the seating will be standard classroom plastic chairs and not operator chairs as in the normal in our other IT and online exam rooms.
My dilemma is that for some online exams students will be seated in rooms with adjustable operator chairs but at the next session they could be using a plastic classroom seat - can this be acceptable under JCQ requirements? Is this a Health and Safety issue regarding use of laptop/seating?
I personally think that all students sitting the online exams should have the same facilties given to them but my ELT think otherwise - advice anyone?
