Abstract

In Denmark, oral examination is widely used. During the first period of Covid-19 shutdown oral examination had to be carried out through video conference systems. In Denmark as well as internationally there is little research on the topic. How do students experience examination while sitting at home? How does the technology affect the practice? How do students and teachers deal with nervousness? How is the exam dialogue experienced under digital conditions? In this study we investigate students-and teachers experiences with online oral examination at a university college in Denmark. The study is based on statistical analysis of a survey and qualitative analysis of open text fields. In addition to the overall contentment with online oral examination for both students and teachers, the results indicate that there are conflicting experiences with digital oral examination.
