In the European Social Fund (ESF)project "Profilgebundene-Wissenschecks 2.0", seven Brandenburg Universities and Colleges are working together on the implementation and further development of online tools for study orientation, study preparation and support. The work packages include the development of online subject quizzes(online self-assessments), in order to support prospective students to compare their individual knowledge levels with the knowledge required at the beginning of their studies. Depending on the results achieved, e-learning units are provided with the necessary subject-related knowledge.These unitscan be refreshed independently and the attendance of preliminary courses is recommended. The basis for the online assessments is a cross-university question exchange platform on which the affiliated universities sharethe developed questions and thereby establish a nationwide quality standard for self-assessments. The project partners at Brandenburg University of TechnologyCottbus -Senftenberg (BTU)are responsible fordeveloping the question exchange platform and for making the platform available to all partner universities. For this purpose, a concept was developed, whereinMoodle Learning Management Systems (LMS)is used as a basis and expandedto include functions for storing questions with associated metadata and search functions to search for questions with specific metadata. The concept of the cross-university question exchange platform is presented in this paper.
