The present study aimed to determine the effects of a computerized dynamic reading assessment (CDRA) program on English reading comprehension of university students with a lower level of English proficiency. Fulcher's (2003) framework was adapted in program development divided into three phases: program development, program implementation, and…

To address needs in one US state to provide a professional development micro-credential for tens of thousands of educators, we automated an assignment scoring workflow in an online course by developing and refining an AI model to scan submitted assignments and score them against a rubric. This article outlines the AI model development process and…

A significant number of students experience anxiety when asked to speak in English. This unease, often rooted in factors such as shyness, lack of confidence, uncertainty, and a lack of motivation, can hinder their active participation during English oral exams. One of the most important goals that every English language teacher should strive to…

The shift to distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the potential and preference of online learners for remote assessment. Yet, concerns about academic integrity, especially with tools like ChatGPT, prompted a reevaluation of remote evaluation methods. Universities responded by returning to on-campus exams or relying on…

Computer-based assessment (CBA) is a top-rated tool for conducting assessments, mapping learning outcomes, and selecting new candidates. Research that examines the development and use of CBA is also increasing from year to year, so without bibliometric analysis, it would be quite challenging to keep up with all of these studies. This study aims to…

In this paper, we investigated the impact of an online classroom-based reading assessment on implementing practices in reading instruction among 30 EFL learners in an intermediate reading course at a public university in East Java, Indonesia. Our study aimed to develop an online classroom-based reading assessment and evaluate its efficacy in…

This study explored learners' experience in an online problem-based learning (PBL) Moodle class. Additionally, an assessment of the PBL approach in enhancing collaborative learning was done to evaluate its effectiveness in eLearning. Lastly, the researchers make recommendations for an effective adoption of PBL in Moodle. To achieve this, an…

The advent of online learning in contemporary educational landscapes has established online examinations as key evaluative instruments. Despite their growing use, there remains a lack of scholarly inquiry into online examinations, academic integrity, and preventative measures against dishonesty. This research aims to explore the perceptions of 153…

Purpose: The rapid advancement and widespread adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in education have significantly impacted learning, teaching and assessment practices. This development has raised critical questions about necessary changes to learning design and traditional assessment methods for a society where GenAI becomes…

Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) is seemed as a more effective alternative testing method in comparison to conventional test in meeting the current standard of assessment. This research reports on the calibration of the released Grade 8 Science…

Purpose: The evaluation of spelling performance in aphasia reveals deficits in written language and can facilitate the design of targeted writing treatments. Nevertheless, manual scoring of spelling performance is time-consuming, laborious, and error prone. We propose a novel method based on the use of distance metrics to automatically score…

The use of technology for teaching and learning has created a paradigm shifting in learning environments and learning process, and also the paradigm shifting has also affected the assessment processes. In addition to these, online environments provide more opportunities to assess of the learners. In this study, the Adaptive Mastery Testing (AMT)…

Background: Current demand for multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in medical assessment is greater than the supply. Consequently, an urgency for new item development methods arises. Automatic Item Generation (AIG) promises to overcome this burden, generating calibrated items based on the work of computer algorithms. Despite the promising scenario,…
