Computer Based Test With Emphasis on Result Integrity and Security

Zusatztext

As flexible and online learning arbitrated by ICT becomes more ubiquitous, there is a developing need for educators to consider methods of assessment using comparable tools. Computer Based Test (CBT) is an effective solution for mass education assessment. However, a diversity of e-assessment methods and systems have been developed in recent times but in the developing world it is still transitional, so far lack of flexible timing functionality to automatically log-off candidates upon expiration of allotted time, result integrity compromise, stand-alone positioning, lack of flexibility, robustness and scalability as well as human error are major limitations of the existing platforms. To ensure maximum security, various security measures/ techniques are used to authenticate the user and check if the person who is logging into the system is the right person or not; various techniques are used like biometric authentication, fingerprint or face recognition via webcam. (Ainley and Searle, 2007): "Without a suitable, computer based way of conducting examinations, curriculum transformation may be unlikely to occur because assessment is a major determinant in teaching,"
