A new experience: My first online examination today

It is amazing how a disastrous crisis like the Coronavirus can move things: After talking for more than 10 years about online education we at the University of Twente and many other of our colleagues worldwide switched to online education in one week. And not only the teaching but also examinations planned this week had to go on. After a busy time of testing platforms and changing the tests to make them suitable for students at home (with access to books, notes, summaries and Internet and even help from others) we had today the first such test with a class of 75 participants. Things went better than we had hoped and the students helped also with a serious and professional attitude. We will keep working on improvements but this was a good start
