Technology Enhanced Assessment (TEA) in COVID 19 PandemicTechnology Enhanced Assessment in COVID 19 Pandemic

SUMMARY

Online teaching and learning is not a new phenomenon. For the last many years, it has been mainly used as a part of face to face teaching. Assessment is an essential part of teaching and learning, as it establishes the achievement of course learning outcomes by the students. Computer-based assessment is in place for a long time now, however, online assessments have been less practiced. This is because of the issues of validity, reliability and dishonesty. During the COVID 19 pandemic, the educational environment has taken a paradigm shift in many medical schools, both nationally and internationally. This situation demands a method of assessment that is safe, valid, reliable, acceptable, feasible and fair. This paper describes the different formats of online assessment and their application in formative and summative assessments during and after the COVID 19 pandemic.doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.COVID19-S4.2795How to cite this:Khan RA, Jawaid M.
