Facilitating secure online exams with Lyryx and OpenStax
Since the recent rapid transition to online teaching, we know many instructors have faced the daunting task of coordinating and executing online exams. In this webinar, Lyryx and our partner OpenStax heard a professor’s first-hand experience pivoting to online exam delivery this past spring, with guidelines and best practices for those wanting to similarly transition their courses while maintaining academic integrity. The webinar also includes a brief demo of Lyryx Learning, an online homework platform that provides a solution for handling exams.
Using Lyryx with OpenStax Accounting
Lyryx and OpenStax hosted an informative webinar showcasing our low-cost online homework system and how it can be used in conjunction with OpenStax’s free accounting textbooks.
The webinar featured information about how the online homework helps students master the material, as opposed to simply assessing the student’s competency. We illustrate how the system utilizes intelligent grading to carefully analyze each answer and deliver immediate personalized formative feedback. We also showcase that each question is truly randomized in a way that encourages learning by leading students to rethink a given problem multiple times.

The panel included student and instructor OER advocates, as well as representatives from BCcampus, Campus Manitoba, eCampusOntario and OpenStax. Time for questions and discussion with the panel was included at the end.
