Online exams' assessment


Ahdab




Assessment is an essential aspect of the learning process. Dr. Rafael Lami Dozo presented this topic in one of L & T's workshops. Assessments can be exams or measurements.

He emphasized the importance of online assessment which reaches all types and mental levels of people. The main purpose of assessments is to serve educating students in coordination with the needs of the society (just like what Dr. Arwa al Aama emphasized). Dr. Rafael included some questions during his session and that is an important action to take in classrooms to maintain concentration level of student and make sure they're awake and alert.

Exams might contain subjective or objective questions or a mixture of both. But, what depends most is what the instructor want to measure analytic abilities, memory or reflection, not that they make an online assessment (type of measurement over type of technology).
