(Re)imagining online assessments

This research project is strategic for the quality of teaching at UniDistance Suisse. It is in line with the objective described in art. 3 of the UniDistance Suisse Research, Development and Cooperation Fund: «Improving teaching and learning in distance education». It also enables cooperation projects to be developed, with the aim of publishing a scientific article.

The aim is to make an original scientific contribution in the field of distance exams, a challenge in both traditional and distance higher education.  Our objective is to promote academic integrity, while respecting the principles and values of quality teaching and assessment, in a vastly undertheorised field. Our approach generates a characterisation of exams according to different types of criteria.

Results

Based on the results of their collaborative and speculative research work, EDUDL + has designed teaching resources that cover a pedagogical approach to distance assessments in a digital world based on the values of quality and integrity. Such resources are concrete models of quality online examinations and offer a method for designing online assessments that incorporates and anticipates future technological developments.

The pedagogical resource «Designing a Remote Assessment» is now available!
