Students' opinion about Electronic Examinations before and after E-testing

Abstract

This paper is about one of the essential matters in electronic learning: taking electronic exams. It presents students’ opinion about electronic examinations before and after electronic testing. The studies in the years 2004 and 2005 confirmed that the majority of participants were prepared to take electronic exams. They were enthusiastic about the immediate feedback and time and place flexibility. However they had some reservations about the technological issues. Motivated by the positive students’ response we performed a pilot e-testing. After the testing we checked the students’ opinion again. The majority was enthusiastic and even more certain in introducing e-exams. Some of them think that this kind of taking exams is possible but they still do not see any advantages in it.
