When you’re still getting acquainted with something new, or going through a particularly challenging time, surrounding yourself with trustworthy people who are capable of solving the matter you’re addressing or pushing you towards achieving that yourself is quite beneficial.
These supportive relationships often help us reduce stress, as well as the time it takes to master a new skill, or achieve a milestone you have been working towards for quite some time.
Coping with exams, and being assessed of the progress made during this academic year is a reality both students and academics are currently facing at the University of Malta.
And while exams are a reality that simply must be faced, a range of resources and support are available for both.
There are a wide variety tools to help you get acquainted with WISEflow, the cloud-based digital end-to-end platform that the University of Malta has chosen to help its transition from written to online assessment and examinations.
Prof. Frank Bezzina, Dean of the Faculty for Economics, Management & Accountancy, and Head of the Department of Management within the same Faculty, has made use of all the help he could before he mastered the use of WISEflow.
What kind of help did you find at your disposal as you were trying to get to grips with WISEflow?
For those who prefer instructed-led training sessions, where they can sound off their concerns, the training sessions led by Professor Victor Buttigieg were extremely useful.
Those who would rather follow tutorials at their own pace can make use of the ‘get started’ guides.
I made use of both.
Are the WISEflow training sessions comprehensive?
Indeed. I found these instruction-led training sessions very useful as they provided (1) a hands-on learning experience with step-by-step instructions, (2) practice on how to operate the software and (3) the opportunity to ask questions.
How easy it is follow WISEflow-related tutorials?
I managed to execute the entire process of uploading examination papers by myself, and setting the exam paper comprising multiple choice items and fill in the blanks using FLOWmulti, one of my favourite WISEflow features.
I would like to emphasise that assistance was promptly provided by the Office of the Registrar and IT ¸£ÀûÔÚÏßÃâ·Ñ.
Would you recommend your colleagues to follow in your footsteps and get acquainted with WISEflow?
Oh, definitely. It’s a much-needed support system to get us all, academics and students alike, through exam season.
This is part of a series of testimonials on the use of WISEflow. This campaign is a collaborative effort by the Marketing, Communications & Alumni Office, the Office for Human Resources Management & Development, the Office of the Registrar and IT services.
