Abstract

Computerized testing methods have become an integral part of everyday university life. The article reflects the introduction of an electronic testing system at Hannover Medical School (MHH). On the one hand, this includes the key elements of the specific technical solution. On the other hand, we emphasize the impact on quality assurance in higher education. Thus, the efficiency of the system can be demonstrated with regard to various aspects. In terms of the coordination of the exams, its construction and analysis the system facilitates the sustainable process of quality management.
