E -assessment in education
E-assessment, or electronic assessment, is the use of information technology devices, primarily computers, in the assessment of student ability and learning. It's also known as computer-based assessment or computer-assisted assessment, and can include both administering the assessment test and grading it. E-assessment is a useful tool for a variety of reasons such as ease of use, flexibility, and quicker results than traditional paper and pencil methods. E-assessment can be used in a range of settings such as elementary school, distance education, and professional certification exams, and its use is increasing with many types of standardized testing.
