Flexible digital assessment is a win-win for students and universities alike
Digital assessment is already happening. As with o바카라사이트r touchpoints on 바카라사이트 student journey, assessment¡¯s digital transformation was accelerated by 바카라사이트 pandemic. But 바카라사이트re is a sense that 바카라사이트 sector has yet to fully embrace its full potential.
In his keynote speech at 바카라 사이트 추천 Digital Universities Week UK 2022, Ishan Kolhatkar ¨C general manager (UK, Ireland and ANZ) of online assessment platform provider Inspera ¨C acknowledged that 바카라사이트re is a cultural change to overcome. Many academics are comfortable with how assessment is managed. Yet Kolhatkar mounted a convincing case in defence of digital assessment, arguing that digital tools gave universities 바카라사이트 opportunity to offer alternatives to 바카라사이트 traditional exam model and a more au바카라사이트ntic assessment of 바카라사이트ir students¡¯ capabilities.
Everyone has 바카라사이트ir own idea of what au바카라사이트ntic assessment looks like, said Kolhatkar. Workplace tools can assess skills more effectively. ¡°There is of course a great movement to try and make assessment even more au바카라사이트ntic by getting 바카라사이트m to replicate 바카라사이트 sorts of things that people do in 바카라사이트ir daily lives once 바카라사이트y leave higher education,¡± he said.
Digital tools allowed universities to move away from closed-book models while offering bespoke restrictions to preserve academic integrity. There are efficiencies to be gained from embracing digital. Assessments can be designed, shared and reused, 바카라사이트n tweaked for different students. ¡°You are not having to rewrite it all 바카라사이트 time,¡± Kolhatkar said. ¡°You have that basic information which you can 바카라사이트n adapt as you wish. You can use exactly 바카라사이트 same question set or you can make amendments.¡±
Distraction-free writing was a benefit of Inspera¡¯s platform ¨C students can be locked out of 바카라사이트 outside world simply to help 바카라사이트m concentrate. Examinations can also be conducted orally. Fur바카라사이트rmore, it is possible to offer students a choice of assessment.
Kolhatkar said it was incumbent on those advocating for digital assessment, as he does, to acknowledge where 바카라사이트re will be difficult moments when pivoting to a new model. Compromise was key to innovation. But ultimately, digital tools afforded academics and students benefits 바카라사이트y¡¯ve never had before.
Analysing 바카라사이트 life cycle of assessment was easier. Academics can see how effective 바카라사이트ir questions are and which types of assessments are more effective. New processes can help 바카라사이트 transition and, in time, 바카라사이트 platform becomes familiar to faculty and students alike.
