We have the ability to capture data from students' interactions with digital environments as they engage in learning activity. This provides the potential for a reimagining of assessment to one in which assessment become part of our natural education activity and can be used to support learning. These new data allow us to more closely examine the…

Computer-based educational assessments often include items that involve drag-and-drop responses. There are different ways that drag-and-drop items can be laid out and different choices that test developers can make when designing these items. Currently, these decisions are based on experts' professional judgments and design constraints, rather…

This study explores the relationship between engagement with an online, free-to-use question-generation application (PeerWise) and student achievement. Using PeerWise, students can create and answer multiple-choice questions and can provide feedback to the question authors on question quality. This provides further scope for students to engage in…

The advancement of information and technology resulted in the change in conventional test methods. The weaknesses of the paper-based test can be minimized using the computer-based test (CBT). The development of a CBT desperately needs a computerized item bank. This study aimed to develop a computerized item bank for classroom and school-based…

For more than 30 years, James Madison University (JMU) has used Assessment Days to collect longitudinal data on student learning outcomes. Our model ensures that all incoming students are tested twice: once in August before beginning classes and again in February after accumulating 45-70 credit hours (Pastor, Foelber, Jacovidis, Fulcher &…

Prior work has documented a substantial penalty associated with taking the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) online relative to on paper (Backes & Cowan, 2019). However, this penalty does not necessarily make online tests less useful. For example, it could be the case that computer literacy skills are…

A major problem faced by instructors post-implementation of unsupervised online assessments is that they may lack real-time access to the students' actual learning behaviors. Limitations in student-feedback, limited know-how of accessing and analyzing log data, and large class sizes could restrict instructors' access to learners' behaviors. This…

In the shift to Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning (ERT&L) during the COVID-19 pandemic, remote assessment and feedback became a major source of discontent and challenge for students and staff. This paper is a reflection and analysis of assessment practices during ERT&L, and our theorisation of the possibilities for shifts towards…

Chiang Mai Rajabhat University Test of English Proficiency (CMRU-TEP) is a required English proficiency test for all CMRU students before graduation. Despite its meticulous design, there is an opportunity for students to improve their scores through focused efforts and targeted support. This study employs an explanatory sequential mixed-methods…

With the research reported here, we specifically aim to develop application products of scientific work independence instruments through science integrated learning (SIL) for various education levels (elementary schools, junior high schools, senior high schools, and universities). The SIL model was applied in learning to determine specific…

The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a rapid shift to virtual learning environments (VLEs) in higher education institutions (HEIs), presenting a complex array of challenges and opportunities. This study investigates the critical factors influencing faculty members' swift transition to VLEs during emergencies, focusing on a semi-government Emirati…

This study inspected how techno-competence in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven evaluations affected EFL learners' boredom, self-esteem, and writing skills. To do so, 66 Saudi Arabian male students from Saudi Arabia participated in the study. They were then split into the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG). While the CG was…

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced higher education institutions worldwide to rapidly transition to online learning, exposing vulnerabilities and highlighting the critical need for robust ICT infrastructure. This study investigates the readiness of network universities in upper northeastern Thailand to provide education using ICT during the COVID-19…
