Thousands of university and college students in all parts of Norway have completed their semester and/or final exams digitally this semester. Exams in various disciplines; in natural, medial, political and social sciences, are now digital. Not only students, but even professors, IT-managers and administrative coordinators now report that digital learning, teaching and assessment all represent new learning opportunities.
During the last year, from fall semester 2014 to fall semester 2015, the number of paperless exams in Norway has quadrupled. Universities and colleges use different ICT systems in their digital exams; some og which offer only written exams, while others enable mathematical calculations, use of chemistry symbols, etc.
Digital platforms from various vendors are now being tested, and a national digital exam program, run by UNINETT, coordinates planning, testing and procurement processes on a national level.
