Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) are an important evaluation technique for both examinations and learning activities. However, the manual creation of questions is time-consuming and challenging for teachers. Hence, there is a notable demand for an Automatic Question Generation (AQG) system. Several systems have been created for this aim, but the…

Advanced digital technologies and social media have greatly improved both the learning experience and the assessment convenience, while inadvertently facilitated potential plagiarism and collaborative cheating at the same time. In this article, we will focus on the strategies and their technological implementations to run exams, or in-class tests…

During the COVID pandemic, universities around the globe had to move not only their content delivery online, but also their assessments. Due to COVID causing significant upheaval in Higher Education (HE), this enforced experiment also afforded an opportunity to reflect on traditional, invigilated, closed book exams (ICBE) resulting in research and…

Research on spatial navigation is essential to understanding how mobile species adapt to their environments. Such research increasingly uses virtual environments (VEs) because, although VE has drawbacks, it allows for standardization of procedures, precision in measuring behaviors, ease in introducing variation, and cross-investigator…

Purpose: There is an increase globally of students using technology to support their learning. The purpose of this paper is to outline the technical aspects of adaptive learning and contribute to the development of pedagogy that incorporates this method in teaching and learning. Design/methodology/approach: This is a technical review article that…

The issues of academic integrity across online and in-person assessments were addressed by analyzing student total, conceptual, and numerical performance scores in the three modes of assessment: (1) In-person assessment with proctoring; (2) Online unproctored assessment; and (3) Respondus assessment online with proctoring. It was identified that…

Digital games (DGs) have the potential to immerse learners in simulated real-world environments that foster contextualised and active learning experiences. These also offer opportunities for performance assessments by providing an environment for students to carry out tasks requiring the application of knowledge and skills learned in the…

The computer based tests are capable of putting together a lot of interactions and fascinating question types, such as simulations, online tests, and measurement of skills, rather than simply assessing by paper-pencil tests. The computerized test result has greater standardization of test administration. The aim of this study is to seek out the…

The purpose of this study was to gauge the attitudes towards artificial intelligence (AI) use in the science classroom by science teachers at the start of generative AI chatbot popularity (March 2023). The lens of distributed cognition afforded an opportunity to gather thoughts, opinions, and perceptions from 24 secondary science educators as well…

Cyberlearning technologies increasingly seek to offer personalized learning experiences via adaptive systems that customize pedagogy, content, feedback, pace, and tone according to the just-in-time needs of a learner. However, it is historically difficult to: (1) create these smart learning environments; (2) continuously improve them based on…

This paper explores the relationship between educational technologies and public education, discussing issues of technology becoming an end in itself, the impact of learner access to knowledge, technology's role in assessment, requisite skills for a technological society, and the technology's capacity to inform policy and practice. While…

This study analyses changes in students' perceptions of online examinations during the transition from a face-to-face to a fully online assessment system. We compare data from a survey administered to two samples of students at a distance learning university at the end of two consecutive academic years in which a new online examination system was…

Technology has become a fundamental means to encourage reliable and more effective assessments. Rapid technological developments have led to the widespread use of digital platforms and devices in all aspects of life. Educational institutions worldwide had to take advantage of this technological leap during pandemics such as COVID-19, which changed…

Mathematical modeling describes how events, concepts, and systems of interest behave in the world using mathematical concepts. This research approach can be applied to theory construction and testing by using empirical data to evaluate whether the specific theory can explain the empirical data or whether the theory fits the data available.…

This paper contributes to the ongoing efforts aimed at enhancing Outcome-Based Education (OBE) assessment methodologies by addressing some critical gaps and exploring new solutions. Our work focuses on two main areas: firstly, this study proposes an improved assessment method for OBE. It refines traditional approaches by classifying course…
