James Pengelley; Peter R. Whipp; Anabela Malpique – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2025
The rising use of technology in classrooms has also brought with it a concomitant wave of computer-based assessments. The argument for computer-based testing is often framed in terms of efficiency and data management: computer-based tests facilitate more efficient processing of test data and the rate at which feedback can be leveraged for student…

Kelli Nicola-Richmond; Phillip Dawson; Helen Partridge – Higher Education Research and Development, 2024
Remote proctoring of exams is one of the most divisive issues in higher education. Critiques of remote proctoring abound, and there are a variety of perspectives particularly in relation to the advantages and disadvantages of this type of assessment, and opportunities for cheating. However, these perspectives are largely based on rhetoric with…

Michael Henderson; Rebecca Awdry; Jennifer Chung; Mike Bryant; Sweta Vijaykumar Patel; Alice Shihua Yu; Matthew Mundy; Kris Ryan; Cliff Ashford – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Online examinations are an increasingly common feature of higher education. Research in this area often focuses on academic integrity without exploring student experience in online examinations more broadly. With increasing use of online examinations and associated security measures, there is a plausible risk that the platform, examination…

Tai, Joanna; Mahoney, Paige; Ajjawi, Rola; Bearman, Margaret; Dargusch, Joanne; Dracup, Mary; Harris, Lois – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2023
As a form of assessment, examinations are designed to determine whether students have met learning outcomes. However, students with disabilities report avoiding examinations, selecting units of study where the assessments align with their strengths. To ensure examinations do not contribute to the systematic exclusion of students with disabilities,…

Alarcón López, Cristina; Decuypere, Mathias; Dey, Joyeeta; Gorur, Radhika; Hamilton, Mary; Lundahl, Christian; Sundström Sjödin, Elin – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
In this paper, we explore the improvisations made in examination practices in higher education during the pandemic of 2020. Drawing on STS, we start from the theoretical assumption that examinations constitute an obligatory passage point in universities and colleges: a sacred point which students need to pass if they want to gain recognized…

Thompson, Darrall G. – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2016
This paper attempts to address the possibility of real change after a hundred years of exam-based assessments that produce a single mark or grade as feedback on students' progress and abilities. It uses visual feedback and analysis of graduate attribute assessment to foreground the diversity of aspects of a student's performance across subject…

Sahin, Füsun – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Examining the testing processes, as well as the scores, is needed for a complete understanding of validity and fairness of computer-based assessments. Examinees' rapid-guessing and insufficient familiarity with computers have been found to be major issues that weaken the validity arguments of scores. This study has three goals: (a) improving…

Brader, Andy; Luke, Allan; Klenowski, Val; Connolly, Stephen; Behzadpour, Adib – International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2014
This article reports on the development of online assessment tools for disengaged youth in flexible learning environments. Sociocultural theories of learning and assessment and Bourdieu's sociological concepts of capital and exchange were used to design a purpose-built content management system. This design experiment engaged participants in…
