Assessing Learning in Online and Digital Contexts/Environments by Dr. Christine Coombe

[ELL Talks and Seminars] Assessing Learning in Online and Digital Contexts/Environments: Opportunities and Challenges by Dr. Christine Coombe The COVID 19 pandemic changed the nature of assessment in higher education. In fact, education in general and English language teaching in particular has experienced great change through the impact caused by the pandemic. In many areas worldwide, teaching was moved online at a rapid pace with little or no advanced planning. The way educational institutions globally have dealt with both online teaching and assessment issues has differed. Many assessments were simply cancelled, others rescheduled or postponed. Gulf countries for the most part moved forward and implemented an online assessment system. As we experience the new normal in a post-COVID-19 era, there is a need to consider assessment anew in light of the emerging opportunities that have come up and the challenges we face during this time. One such challenge has been how to assess our students validly, reliably and fairly during this era. Another is how to ensure ethical online assessments and ways to mitigate or minimize instances of cheating and academic dishonesty. In this talk, we explore present day assessment trends and challenges and how faculty can mitigate or even eliminate these challenges.
