Online exam questions: website pilot

CARET have been working on a exploratory project to make past examination papers available online to students.

This is not yet a production service but is a work in progress. This pilot site is aimed at getting some content up quickly and provoking user reaction in the current exam period to find out how students would best like the information presented.

The content is currently 2010 examinations only and there may be missing papers as this is based on the contents of the papers printed and bound for holding in College and University libraries under open access. The initial pilot site is at http://exams.lib.cam.ac.uk/.

Please share this link with your students as we would like their feedback and reactions to the service and comments on how best to present the information. We would like students to react to it while actively thinking about exam preparation!

Feedback should be sent to the email address (examspilot@caret.cam.ac.uk) which can be found at the bottom of the FAQ/Contact Tab on the website.
