As the assessment period is approaching, below we’ve put together some resources for students and staff that you may find helpful.

Students

You can use our student practice module to help you get 'online assessment ready'. Here's how to enrol in the practice module:

  1. Log into Blackboard (mymodule.tcd.ie) using your Trinity IT username and password
  2. Click on the Assist link in the blue left-hand menu then select Exams Practice Module for Students from the list of resources.
  3. Click on the Enrol button at the left of the screen (you won't need to do this if you're already enrolled in the Online Exams Practice Module). After clicking Enrol, click on the Submit button. And you'll be enrolled in the practice module.

You can then access the Online Exams Practice Module from your list of modules.
