Statistical Measures of Integrity in Online Testing: Empirical Study
Wielicki, Tom
International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conference on e-Learning (Madeira, Portugal, Jul 1-4, 2016)
This paper reports on longitudinal study regarding integrity of testing in an online format as used by e-learning platforms. Specifically, this study explains whether online testing, which implies an open book format is compromising integrity of assessment by encouraging cheating among students. Statistical experiment designed for this study focused on combining such variables as numerical scores on tests and quizzes with type of feedback received by students during the test and question randomization. Results obtained proved that cheating during well designed online tests is more of a myth than reality. [For full proceedings, see ED571430.]
