Innovative assessment with eExams

conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 11:23 authored by Fluck, AE, Hillier, M
eExams are now seen as an important way to address the serious problem of managing summative assessments in the digital age. By providing candidates with a way to complete exams using their own familiar computer, institutional asset requirements are minimised. Several software platforms and their affordances are reviewed in this paper, against criteria which distinguish integrative teaching strategies from transformative ones. In addition, the review looks at the way in which student writing practices differ with eExams compared to handwriting. Different eExam systems have been adopted worldwide, with Finland following Tasmania’s lead in using the USB-boot method for pre-tertiary summative assessments. The presentation concludes with details of the Australia-wide eExam project for universities, and a case-study of its use in the new Digital Technologies subject.
