Yes, all framework conditions for digital examinations at the Munich University of Applied Sciences have already been coordinated with the legal department.
EXaHM secures the test on several levels and ensures a high degree of fail-safety for digital tests. In the event of a failure, it is always possible to continue the test under an extension or on replacement equipment. Stored files are preserved in the process. However, an exam can never be 100% secure - this applies to both digital and handwritten exams.
Please contact us at exahm@hm.edu by the middle of the semester before the semester of exams.
