EchoExam: Managing Exams

As an instructor, you are able to manage your Exams regardless of their state. 

1. Log into EchoExam as an instructor.
2. Click the My Courses tab.
3. Move your cursor or use your keyboard to tab to the course you want to open and click Open Course.
   

   You will automatically be taken to the Exams tab when you open the course and all of your Exams for the course are displayed.

Using the search bar, you are able to find a specific exam. Sort the exams by their status. All Statuses is the default. Click the drop-down to sort by Draft, Ready, In Progress, or Complete. Additionally, sort exams by Start Date: Ascending (default), Start Date: Descending, Updated, Created, Name A to Z, and Name Z to A.

For a single Exam, click the three vertical dots to open the action menu. You can edit the exam or copy the link when the exam is in Draft, Ready, or In Progress status. If the exam is complete you can’t edit or copy the link. Deleting an Exam does not remove the Test that you created.
