Digital Exam is Aalborg University's system for managing digital tests. When you submit an assignment in Digital Exam, you must fill in a form in Pure - the system behind the AAU Student Project portal.

Pure is Aalborg University's system for research registration and dissemination. Pure also serves as digital repository for student projects at AAU. Student projects submitted to Digital Exam are automatically transferred to Pure. 

AAU Student Projects is an AAU portal that displays non-confidential student projects based on Pure data. 

The term "external collaboration" applies to a formalized agreement where a contact person is assigned to the project. 

Collaboration takes places when there is a dialogue between the student(s) and the external partner - i.e. upon reception of either written or oral feedback from the external partner.

External partners can be:

• Private businesses
• Public institutions (not AAU)
• Associations, societies etc.

NOTICE! Private individuals (e.g. test persons, survey respondents etc.) are not covered by the term "external collaborator(s)"!

Information based on publicly available data from company homepages etc., without any direct involvement of the company, does not count as collaboration.

You have to consider level of confidentiality when you submit your hand-in/project in Digital Exam. 

If you mark the hand-in/project - and one or more files - as confidential upon submission to Digital Exam, they will be treated as confidential in Pure (and AAU Student Projects). This holds for both metadata, the actual project file, as well as appendices that you have marked as confidential upon submission to Digital Exam. 

Confidential projects and files will not be displayed publicly or handed over. 

Examples:

• If you have marked everything as confidential neither files nor project metadata (title, description, authors etc.) will be displayed.
• If you have marked information about the hand-in as non-confidential, but the actual project files as confidential, your project metadata will be available for display, but not the actual project file. 
• If nothing is marked as confidential, both metadata and project files will be available for public display.

Department secretaries and Pure administrator are the only persons who can access confidential content.

Have you stated the wrong level of confidentiality in Digital Exam, or perhaps changed your mind after you submitted the hand-in?

Before deadline?

You can change your level of confidentiality in Digital Exam right up until your deadline.

After deadline?

If you are past the submission deadline, please contact the VBN Team and we will change it for you.

Study programme:

Select your study programme from the list. All current AAU programmes are on the list.

NOTICE! Bachelor and master's degrees are separated.

If you have selcted the wrong programme/semester, click "-" next to the programme to deselect, and pick the right programme.

Semester:

IMPORTANT! You must state semester. If you do not, you cannot save the form and will get an error notice. Please notice that bachelor programmes usually have six semesters, and master's four semesters.

The files you submit to Digital Exam will be transferred to Pure once you are past your exam. You are not supposed to upload files to Pure.

If your project is marked as non-confidential, it will be visible in AAU Student Projects shortly after your exam. AAU Student Projects only displays projects that have passed the exam.
