Working in an electronic environment

In addition to the online curriculum centre (OCC) and its public web site (http://www.ibo.org), the IBO maintains two web sites that are dedicated to delivering each Diploma Programme examination session in a secure electronic environment.

Coordinators in schools use a web site known as IBNET to:

• register candidates for an examination session
• send marks and other information to the IBO
• receive their candidates’ results.

Examiners have access to a secure site, known as Examnet, which is used to receive and send virtually all information and data during a session.

Both of these sites are currently being phased out and replaced with a more flexible and up-to-date information system known as IBIS. The IBO continues to explore other exciting opportunities offered by modern technology, including:

• candidates writing examinations online (e-assessment)
• examiners receiving and marking scripts online (e-marking).
