Electronic examinations (e-exams) offer solutions for traditional testing issues in e-learning. However, challenges like authentication and internet access must be addressed for effective implementation, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Online Assessment
- E-learning
Background:
- E-learning has become crucial in education, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Electronic examinations (e-exams) are emerging as a solution to traditional testing limitations.
- Despite advancements, e-exams face significant challenges in identity and answer-sheet authentication.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present global educational organizations' experiences with e-exams and e-evaluation.
- To highlight e-exams as an essential component of e-learning strategies.
- To recommend methods for enhancing e-exam integrity and effectiveness.
Main Methods:
- Review of educational organizations' experiences with e-exams and e-evaluation.
- Analysis of Learning Management System (LMS) tool usage in e-assessment.
- Identification of key challenges faced by e-exam centers globally.
Main Results:
- Moodle and proprietary LMS solutions were most frequently used (75%).
- Open-source and proprietary solutions are preferred in less developed countries due to cost.
- Major challenges include internet speed (99%), cost (82%), and authenticity (68%).
Conclusions:
- Continuous evaluation, including authenticated e-exams, is recommended to mitigate student violations.
- Addressing infrastructure and authentication issues is vital for successful e-exam implementation.
- E-exams are a valuable tool in e-learning, requiring strategic support and development.
