Johnson, Stuart; Maclean, John; Vozzo, Raymond F.; Koerber, Adrian; Humphries, Melissa A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
STEM educators have taken on a new and radically different reality: that students will have access to online tools and online knowledge as they undergo assessment. Students may look up facts that are easily available online, employ online tools and also employ paid services to cheat. The first wave of novel assessment strategies devised in…

Blaženka Divjak; Petra Žugec; Katarina Pažur Anicic – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Assessment is among the inevitable components of a curriculum and directs students' learning. E-assessment, as prepared and administered with the use of ICT, provides opportunities to make the process easier in some aspects, but also brings certain challenges. This paper presents an e-assessment framework from a student perspective. Our study…

Rowlett, Peter – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
A partially-automated method of assessment is proposed, in which automated question setting is used to generate individualized versions of a coursework assignment, which is completed by students and marked by hand. This is designed to be (a) comparable to a traditional written coursework assignment in validity, in that complex and open-ended tasks…

Thomas Bickerton, Robert; Sangwin, Chris J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We discuss a practical method for assessing mathematical proof online. We examine the use of faded worked examples and reading comprehension questions to understand proof. By breaking down a given proof, we formulate a checklist that can be used to generate comprehension questions which can be assessed automatically online. We then provide some…

Campbell, Anita L.; Craig, Tracy S.; Mofolo-Mbokane, Batseba; Padayachee, Pragashni – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We are four academics teaching mathematics at three different higher education institutions over two continents. Through fortnightly meetings to research how our practices changed as a result of the COVID-19 lockdowns, we formed a community of practice. The process of articulating our experiences and ideas, and reflecting on the recorded meetings…

Siew, Peg-Foo – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2003
Discusses the advantages to using on-line assessment for both the instructor and the learner. Reports on the use of an online assessment tool that provides interactive feedback to students learning linear algebra. Measures success in terms of improved pass rate and students' satisfaction with the flexible learning opportunities that the tool…
