Changes to policy and curriculum

Online Invigilation Policy

In September 2024, The Open University published the Online Invigilation Policy for the first time.

This policy covers exams with online invigilation, which are the final assessed task for some undergraduate and taught postgraduate modules. Online invigilation means that an invigilator will be present online throughout your exam to monitor your behaviour, environment and conduct. It is used in exams for specific modules to uphold the academic integrity of the exam and/or meet the requirements of Professional, Statutory or Regulatory bodies who provide accreditation for your module or qualification.
