Implementation of three digital exams for the courses Business Mathematics, Business Statistics, and Principles of Economics
Project duration: From 02/2025
Client: M.A. Cornelia Oszlonyai
Faculty: WEBIS
The starting point consists of approximately 60 analogue exam questions in the subjects Business Mathematics, Business Statistics, and Principles of Economics. The objective is the digital implementation of all exam questions as well as the successful setup and execution of three digital exams in the summer semester of 2025.
Development and integration of a self-learning unit on Laplace transformation into the Control Engineering lecture
Project duration: 01/2025 – 09/2025
Client: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bernhard Frenzel, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Armin Wolfram
Faculty: MBUT
This project involves the creation of a gamified self-learning unit featuring interactive videos and digital tasks, which will be embedded into an existing inverted classroom concept at the beginning of the Control Engineering lecture. The Service Centre for Digital Assignments is responsible for the gamification of the self-learning unit as well as the implementation of the included STACK tasks and interactive graphs.
Implementation of digital tasks for web development in HTML/CSS/JavaScript
Project duration: From 01/2025
Client: Prof. Dr. Thomas Nierhoff, Prof. Dr. Dieter Meiller
Faculty: EMI
A coordinated development of CodeRunner tasks for web development courses is planned. Currently, additional professors are being sought who teach the same content. Initially, first examples will be created independently to assess HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, in order to establish technical and didactic options for the development of further tasks.
Implementation of digital tasks for the fundamentals of C programming
Project duration: From 01/2025
Client: Prof. Dr. Peter Raab
Faculty: EMI
Initially, the implementation of exercise tasks based on existing worksheets is planned. The first worksheet has already been implemented. The majority of the tasks will be developed using CodeRunner, with the implementation time primarily focused on the design and didactic preparation of meaningful test cases.
Implementation of STACK tasks for a digital exam in Finance and Investment Management
Project duration: 01/2025
Client: Prof. Dr. Julia Kreppmeier
Faculty: WEBIS
Based on a detailed conceptual document provided by the lecturer, two new STACK tasks were developed. The multi-part tasks are fully randomised and combine various input types. Special emphasis was placed on clear input instructions, tolerance during the verification process, and, in particular, thorough testing for correctness in this setting.
Review of STACK tasks prior to a digital exam in Macroeconomics
Project duration: 01/2025
Client: Prof. Dr. Thorsten Hock
Faculty: WEBIS
Ahead of a digital exam, several STACK tasks were reviewed by the Service Centre for Digital Assignments for technical robustness, including the addition and execution of automated question tests for all random variants.

Development of innovative task templates for the automated verification of textual answers in medical engineering
Project duration: From 12/2024
Client: Prof. Dr. Matthias Feyrer
Faculty: WIG
A task has been created that allows for the verification of a list of specific criteria present in a text entered by students. Further useful verification scenarios are currently being developed experimentally. The task types are intended to be used in future digital exams.
Development of a task package for synchronous machines for the lecture on Electrical Machines and Drives
Project duration: From 12/2024
Client: Prof. Dr. Heiko Zatocil
Faculty: EMI
In the first step of this project, model solutions will be integrated for all previously created tasks. In the second step, a task package on the topic of synchronous machines will be developed using a proven development process. An already developed drawing tool for the current locus curve will be used, while a new tool for phasor diagrams will be developed.
Consultation and support in digital task development and the setup of a digital exam for Python programming
Project duration: 10/2024 - 01/2025
Client: Prof. Dr. Thomas Nierhoff
Faculty: EMI
Meetings were held to explain the development of CodeRunner tasks. Additionally, a development environment was set up, populated with examples, and specific templates were created for the professor, tailored to meet individual requirements. Subsequently, the tasks were fully developed by the professor, with support provided through various assistance activities. Following this, the concept for the digital exam was collaboratively designed and technically prepared by the Service Centre, with support provided up to the correction phase.
Gamification of a Computer Science course and development of a digital mock exam with STACK
Project duration: 09/2024 - 01/2025
Client: Prof. Dr. Michael Wiehl
Faculty: EMI
The Moodle course space for the Computer Science (Fundamentals) course in the AI/IK degree programmes was gamified. The entire course was given a new theme, in this case, that of retro role-playing games. With every use of course materials, participants earn experience points, tracked by the "Level up!+" plugin. This allows their own character to level up from a simple peasant to a shining hero. The Moodle quizzes are considered "enemies" to be defeated in order to unlock the next course content and, consequently, the slide sets for the upcoming session. The course overview is provided by a learning map, created with the "Learning Map" plugin, where all slide sets and quizzes are marked as locations. What is initially shrouded in mist is gradually "unlocked", and ultimately, the path leads to the "final boss", the mock exam. This was implemented as a Moodle quiz with several STACK tasks. For successful completion, meaning achieving at least 50% of the points, students receive the complete solution to the mock exam along with useful tips and hints for the actual exam.
Implementation of randomised tasks with automatic model solutions in technical fluid mechanics
Project duration: From 06/2024
Client: Prof. Dr. Olaf Bleibaum
Faculty: MBUT
Existing tasks with static model solutions will be converted into randomised digital tasks with automatic model solutions. Special attention will be given to error tolerance, subsequent errors, and the awarding of partial points in order to reduce the impact of small calculation mistakes.
Support with the migration of Python tasks to Moodle
Project duration: From 06/2024
Client: Prof. Dr. Christian Schieder
Faculty: WEBIS
The Service Centre provides support and advice in converting existing open-source Python exercise code into CodeRunner tasks that can be used in Moodle. To date, suggestions for course design in Moodle have been made, along with initial options for test implementation and test display in CodeRunner. The project is expected to continue in 2025.
Further development of the learning module on Differential and Integral Calculus
Project duration: 05/2024 - 03/2025
Client: Prof. Dr. Harald Schmid, Prof. Robert Queitsch
Faculty: MBUT
After the initial use of the learning module at the start of the summer semester 2024 for approximately 100 students, the following developments were decided based on the evaluation, which will be implemented by the Service Centre for Digital Assignments:
- Inclusion of previously unconsidered error cases and development of tailored feedback based on the actual inputs from students
- Implementation of additional tasks on integral calculus
- Simplification of interval input in the final test
- Integration of a central formula collection, which can be referenced in tasks
