OSCE vs tOSCE

OSCE-Eval is a simple and efficient system to enable practical medical examinations (especially OSCEs) to be carried out without resorting to paper checklists. Assessments using OSCE-Eval are quicker to evaluate and have less erroneous or missing data. Various research also shows that examiners prefer using OSCE-Eval and that students aren't graded differently than when using paper checklists. OSCE-Eval is the assessment client of the EOSCE system, which also includes a monitoring and checklist editor component. This release of OSCE-Eval is fully functional and includes two sample checklists (one in English, one in German). OSCE-Eval can also be used by prospective OSCE examiners and students to familiarize themselves with the new technology. # OSCE-Eval offers the following features: - Assess multiple candidates using structured checklists. - Receive visual feedback to help ensure all checklist dimensions are assessed completely. - Finalize exams to ensure no changes can be made after the final assessment. - Store and manage assessment data directly on the device. - Synchronize encrypted assessment data directly with a secure server to ensure data redundancy. - Download new examination data and checklists from a secure server. - Exports the exam results to a spreadsheet (this happens automatically) - Supports free text notes - Supports strong on-device encryption/decryption - Supports multiple languages (English, French, German) # Multiple studies have shown using OSCE-Eval in examinations has three main benefits: 1) Using OSCE-Eval leads to a better data quality when compared to paper checklists 2) Examiners significantly prefer using OSCE-Eval and report a lower cognitive load during the examination. 3) The usage of OSCE-Eval does not influence the examiners assessments of the student’s performance.

tOSCE allows you to conduct OSCEs that were created with the ItemManagementSystem from the non-profit Umbrella Consortium for Assessment Networks (UCAN). With the help of the tOSCE Presenter app you can show and control media files shown on another iPad held by a student. The server component can be used free of charge by our partners.
