No dedicated room although we have semi-regular slots in a handful of medium sized computer rooms (~25 terminals in each). We are responsible for booking OE's and ask for at least 2 weeks' notice where possible (nice in theory, rare in practice). We bring in our tech-savvy invigilators to run them - most seem to be a little intimidated at the thought initially. A major issue for us is trying schedule re-sits on top of the regular tests; a problem made all the more difficult with achievement being such a critical element of FE survival at the moment and the pressure on us to provide seemingly limitless re-sit opportunities. Another perennial problem is with concessions and candidates requiring separate rooms for readers etc. This has been made somewhat easier with the advent of e-volve and laptops connecting to wi-fi in non-PC rooms which is something we are looking into.

Would anyone be able to tell me what happens on your campus with regards to the following: * Do you have a dedicated online exams room at your disposal? * Who is responsible for running UPKs at your centre? Is this the same for all UPKs regardless of whether it is a re-sit or not? * How much notice do you request for on-demand exams run by the Exams department, and for exams run by departments (if applicable)? I really appreciate your views on this. Thanks, Amy Amy Coombes Exams Officer Pontypool Campus Tel: 01495 333196 Fax: 01495 333130 E-mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> This e-mail & any files and attachments transmitted with it are confidential and may be legally privileged.
