Abstract
This paper compares the e-Examination system in Nigeria with that of Australia. We consider the
experiences of working with commercial firms such as Electronic Testing Company (eTC) and using
open-source software. It is important to foster good relationships with accreditation authorities (such as
University Authorities, West African Examination Council (WAEC), Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) etc. and the Tasmanian Qualifications Authority) to assist in the transition from paperbased
assessment to post-paper assessment. The paper also considers the relative convenience for
students, administrators and lecturer/assessors; and to gauges the reliability and security of the two
systems in use. It examines the challenges in conducting e-Examinations in both countries by juxtaposing
the systems in the two countries and suggests ways of developing more acceptable e-Examination systems.
