UNSW Medicine OAApp Brazil 16 +17

As one of the nation’s largest and most diverse medical faculties, UNSW Medicine enjoys close affiliation with a number of Australia's finest hospitals, research institutes and health care organisations. In addition to its world-class research activities, UNSW Medicine delivers many exciting and innovative teaching and research programs to a student body in excess of 2500.

Within the Medicine program, there are a series of examinations which require assessors to directly question or observe students in completing various tasks. These examinations are held in various settings ranging from facilities on the university campus to clinical examination rooms in hospitals. The OAApp provides a highly efficient method for conducting live examinations and processing results.

The iPad delivers the specific requirements of the examination from the Faculty’s Assessment Item Bank including essential information for the administrative staff, examiners and students and any resources e.g. X-ray images.
· The OAApp improves the validity of the examinations by ensuring that all sites use the same information relating to the examination, provides examiners with a standardised grading sheet which would include guidance on grading, ensures completeness and validation of results entered by examiners and negates the risks of transcription errors.
· The OAApp ensures test results and examiner feedback are readily available to students.
