Online examination from the point of view of teachers

Abstract

As a result of the COVID19 pandemic, education has been forced into the online space. The delivery of the course material and the assessment of the students' acquired knowledge also had to be solved via online interfaces. At Óbuda University, we used the MOODLE system and the MS Teams application to implement online education and examinations. During the research, we got to know the opinions and experiences of the teachers regarding online examinations with the help of an online questionnaire. We were looking for answers from teachers of higher education about their experiences in the online exams: • how suitable the instructors found it to be • would instructors use it even when it is no longer mandatory • what were its positives and negatives • how the teachers made sure of the identity of the students taking the exam • what methods the teachers used to prevent the use of unauthorized devices • from the teachers' point of view, what technical problems arose during the online examinations Exams in the online space presented the institutions with many problems to be solved. During the research, we wanted to explore these by interviewing the teachers. In our quantitative research, we asked the teachers of Óbuda University. The online questionnaire received 61 responses in the 2nd semester of the 2021/22 academic year.
