About ExerPlaza

ExerPlaza is an innovative educational platform designed to enhance the learning experience in higher education. It serves as a comprehensive tool for students, educators, and academic program boards, aiming to foster awareness of program contents through information technology. The platform allows students to access a vast database of self-assessment materials, providing visual feedback on their knowledge levels and helping them understand how different courses interconnect. This interconnectedness aids in effective study planning and prioritization.

For educators, ExerPlaza offers a collaborative environment to share and edit assessment materials with colleagues. Teachers can gain insights into how modifications to their courses might impact the overall program, facilitating informed discussions with students. The platform also enables educators to contribute to a global repository of educational content, promoting the sharing of knowledge and resources across institutions.

Academic program boards benefit from ExerPlaza by utilizing its graphical instruments to steer discussions and make decisions based on evidence rather than opinions. This data-driven approach supports curriculum development and ensures that educational programs remain relevant and effective in meeting learning objectives.

The development of ExerPlaza has been supported by grants from the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), which have funded the platform's IT infrastructure costs. Additionally, contributions from students at institutions like the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the University of Padova have played a significant role in enhancing the platform's capabilities. Looking ahead, ExerPlaza aims to continue evolving, integrating new features, and expanding its user base to further support the academic community in achieving educational excellence.
