Students at Aarhus University have been chosen by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation to be guinea pigs in a new pilot project for digital exams.

What this means is that at next summer’s exams students will be equipped with a special USB plug which will in practice take control of their computers. This will block all access to the internet, bluetooth devices and infrared communication. The Deputy Director of AU Information Technology, Flemming Bøge, is looking forward to the pilot project.
