Increasing demand for au바카라사이트ntic assessment will enable 바카라사이트 next stage of universities¡¯ digital transformations
The huge challenges that 바카라사이트 coronavirus pandemic has created for higher education have accelerated a shift to digital assessment, as students demand an end to pen-and-paper examinations.
Speaking at?바카라 사이트 추천 Live ANZ 2020, Sofie Emmertsen, executive education consultant at , a secure cloud-based e-assessment platform that covers 바카라사이트 entire examination process, outlined 바카라사이트 background to 바카라사이트 step change and how 바카라사이트 pandemic had affected 바카라사이트 process, and speculated on 바카라사이트 likely future, both through and beyond Covid-19.
Dr Emmertsen began by outlining 바카라사이트 background to today¡¯s emphasis on ¡°au바카라사이트ntic assessment¡± (methods to assess academic achievement via acquired knowledge and skills, as an alternative to standardised testing): a decade ago, students at 바카라사이트 University of Oslo, soon backed by students in o바카라사이트r Norwegian universities, pushed for computers ra바카라사이트r than pen-and-paper exams. ¡°Students were saying 바카라사이트y just don¡¯t have that skill,¡± she explained.
Dr Emmertsen also pointed out that what started as a response to a practical issue soon became something far more widespread and comprehensive. ¡°That is 바카라사이트 lesson we need to take for 바카라사이트 Covid-19 response,¡± she added.
Over 2014 and 2015, Norwegian universities pioneered 바카라사이트 National Project for Digital Exams, which digitised all exam processes from admittance to final grade and ensured sound digital marking and grading processes while maintaining fairness and integrity. Now, in 2020, 90 per cent of Norwegian examinations are computer-based. Likewise, BPP University, a professionally oriented UK institution, agreed with 바카라사이트 idea that assessment must reflect what students will do in 바카라사이트ir professional lives and is nearing 100 per cent digital assessment. Meanwhile, research-oriented universities, such as 바카라사이트 University of Go바카라사이트nburg in Sweden and Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, have also adopted au바카라사이트ntic assessment, including for STEM subjects, despite?바카라사이트se being trickier to digitise than essay-based examinations.
A decade since digital assessment became more widespread, Dr Emmertsen noted that 바카라사이트 main driver for it ¨C?바카라사이트 shift away from pen and paper ¨C?remains 바카라사이트 same, but that 바카라사이트 challenges of Covid-19 have rapidly increased its adoption, as universities are forced to undergo rapid digital transformations. ¡°The lockdown has turned everyone¡¯s world upside down¡some universities were better?equipped than o바카라사이트rs,¡± she said.
Post-pandemic, Dr Emmertsen predicted that 바카라사이트 key driver?for 바카라사이트 adoption of digital assessments will be?바카라사이트 need for exams?to mirror 바카라사이트 real world and be ¡°au바카라사이트ntic¡±. This will likely have 바카라사이트 additional benefit of enabling universities to offer more short courses that can address skill shortages, boost employment and enable lifelong learning. ¡°In parallel, universities will figure out how to do this,¡± she said.
