ELearning Assessments, Issues, Mitigation Strategies, and the Future
(IGI Global, 2022-06) Wambua, Anthony
ELearning continues to offer the promise of revolutionizing education. Lower cost of education, learning anywhere, and personalized learning are just a few benefits of eLearning. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the need for technology-mediated learning. eLearning assessments continue to be an open challenge in the context of eLearning. Both novice and experienced teachers grapple with assessing learners in online classes. Issues such as the nature of assessments, exam integrity, use of appropriate assessment tools are now getting increased attention from researchers. Existing research in eLearning tends to focus on the technology, its adoption, and factors affecting its success or lack of it. A paucity of research on e-assessments leads to limited insights for teachers and institutions. Consequently, this chapter focuses on e-assessments, given the critical role of assessment in any form of learning.
