Remote or online proctoring (invigilating) is a technology primarily used to improve the integrity of online examinations. The use of remote proctoring increased significantly as the world switched to online assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Remote proctoring received negative media attention, including concerns about user privacy,…

The advent of Generative AI (GAI) tools such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot has significantly impacted higher education. This exploratory study investigates the current perspectives of lecturers in Human Resource Management (HRM) and Psychology on adapting assessment strategies in response to GAI developments. Through an online…

The global pandemic caused by COVID-19 has acted as a significant driver for the adoption of online educational practices, including instruction and assessment. Given the urgent need for an alternative to traditional assessment methods during the pandemic, various studies have explored this topic across different contexts to evaluate the impact,…

Conversational agents have been designed to improve instruction quality and support student learning. In addition to their instructional use, they can be incorporated into assessment--conversation-based assessment (CBA). This study primarily introduces a CBA with selected-response and constructed-response tests as a formative assessment tool for…

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine the effects of Gamified-Assessment Tools (GAT) used in formal educational settings on student academic achievement. We used PRISMA systematic procedures to screen the articles across Web of Science, ERIC, Scopus, Pubmed, and PsycArticles databases. We identified 23 independent results from 17…

The present study is related to the problem associated with student assessment with online examinations at higher educational institutes (HEIs). With the current COVID-19 outbreak, the majority of educational institutes are conducting online examinations to assess their students, where there would always be a chance that the students go for…

Evaluation is a crucial part of the teaching and learning process in any higher education institution and one that has gone through a deep change.

Online assessment is defined as a systematic method of gathering information about a learner and learning processes to draw inferences about the learner's dispositions. Online assessments provide opportunities for meaningful feedback and interactive support for learners as well as possible influences on the engagement of learners and learning…

The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education has introduced innovative approaches to assessment. One such approach is AI chatbot-based assessment, which utilizes large language models to provide students with timely and consistent feedback. However, the effectiveness of AI chatbots in generating assessments comparable…

E-assessment typically seeks to improve assessment designs through the use of innovative digital tools. However, the intersections between digital technologies and assessment can be seen as increasingly complex, particularly as the sociotechnical perspectives suggest assessment must be relevant to a digitally-mediated society. This paper presents…

The spread of COVID-19 forced many higher education institutions to switch to e-learning using a diverse range of educational platforms.
