Bird Exams Go Online

For the first time, students enrolled in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology?s Home Study Course in Bird Biology can take their exams online. The exams are expected to help streamline the course by eliminating postage costs, reducing headaches resulting from lost postal mail, and allowing students to find out their scores online as soon as the exams have been graded.

The online exams have been made possible thanks to a unique partnership with online learning development experts at eCornell. All Home Study Course students will have the option of taking their exams online or on traditional paper forms.
