As expected, the starting point is to compare the online assessment with the traditional assessment. To do this, there is the need to explain the coming of online assessment which arose as a result of the increasing opportunities brought by the modern technology and its introduction to learning. This in the first place led to online learning and finally led to the introduction of online assessment methods because new pedagogical environments would definitely call for new assessment methods.
Thus, the first task was to explain the merits and the demerits of online assessment as compared to traditional assessment. To effectively handle this assignment, I needed to use other materials and the web along with the OUM library was readily at my disposal. It was an interesting assignment and the grade was encouraging as well and the manner in which my instructor was handling the course was also fantastic. The paper comparing online assessment with traditional assessment can be seen here:
Comparing Online Assessment with Traditional Assessment
Here I have learnt the advantages of using online assessment as well as the disadvantages. I have also been able to have a comparative view of both online and traditional assessment which enables me to draw a conclusion as to which is preferable. No major problem as faced at this point. My search for further materials have also broadened my knowledge of the OUM online library as I now have access to 24/7 books.
