Keywords: online assessment, design framework, evaluation

Session Type: Roundtable/Breakout

Abstract

The rapid transition from the physical to the online classroom environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted various challenges in areas such as academic integrity, information privacy, ease of access, student experience and feedback. Although the technology and learning platforms have provided mechanisms for innovation, the default option is to mirror face-to-face assessment practices with online exams and written reports representing most of the assessment types used in management education. This roundtable discussion introduces a framework for designing and evaluating quality online assessment and gives participants the opportunity to critique it via discussion and an activity where they will apply it to the design of an innovative assessment task.
