Wacom Drawing Display in Exam (Mikkeli)

In the Exam booking system, the exam reservation will automatically be directed to exam workstations where the drawing display is available.

An answer drawn on the drawing display can be saved on the exam computer and attached to the essay question for teacher assessment. The answer can be drawn using programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Paint. For more detailed instructions on using the drawing tablet comg soon. Written instructions are available in the exam room, next to the exam computer.

You can practice drawing with the drawing display in the Exam room using the 'Harjoittelutentti piirtonäytöllä".
