Good morning everyone.
I am Verna and here with me is Nathan.
We are the ICT associates of the Information and Communication Technology Development
Office of UPOU
Today we are going to demonstrate how to use the Exam Portal . Exam Portal is an installation
of Moodle, a Learning Management System.
This exam portal is used to conduct exams for students, particularly qualifying exam, compre
exams and other types of exam
Before we start let us make sure that
We have an account in the exam portal created by the Moodle Administrator
We will flash the available accounts on the screen. Please go to http://exams.upou.edu.ph and
login using your assigned username and password.
There is also a course site created by the administrator and we are enrolled on it as an Teacher.
As a teacher, we are allowed to add/edit the activities and resources of the course site.
Other assumptions are:
The Moodle administrator is the one who will upload the users or as we call them participants
who will take the exam
We have a copy of instructions and a set of questions and answers.
https://bit.ly/mock-science-exam
Now we will start using the Exam Portal
First let us login at my Portal. Type the user name and password and click the login button.
Then you will be able to see the course site where you are enrolled at
Click the course site. In this case, mock science exam
Let us first check when the course site will be available
Go to the left side under course administration and click edit settings.
You will be able to see the course full name, course short name, course category, course
visibility, course start date and course end date.
The important thing to note is the course start date, end date and visibility since we do not want
the students to see this course site before the date of their examination
Just click the save and display button at the bottom of the page after making any changes.
Go back to the course site
Click turn editing on which you can find on the upper right corner.

You may add a student declaration part here as well
Click Add Activity or resource
Choose the “Choice” type then type Student Declaration as choice name and paste the student
declaration under the page description.
“I affirm that I have verified my identity with a UPOU examiner. I understand that taking
the Mock Science Exam without a UPOU examiner will nullify my exam and affect my
eligibility to take future admission exams at UPOU.
I also understand that the university policy on academic dishonesty covers cheating
during examination (e.g. passing exam materials or answers which are parallel to
copying, seeking help, online or whatever mode, to answer exam questions, etc., and as
such, my exam will be nullified should I be caught doing so.”
In the options tab type the student confirmation in Option 1 required field “ I affirm and I
understand ” and scroll down then click the Save and Return to Course Button.
Now let us allow the participants to add the Student Declaration and instructions.
