Design your online assessments with built-in factors to reduce risk

Assessing online is becoming more widespread due to the demand for flexible delivery models. Also, as educators and educational institutions need to be prepared to offer alternative assessment options during training disruptions, such as COVID-19 restrictions.

Online assessment, however, can increase the risk of cheating and plagiarism as it can be harder to authenticate that the assessment evidence is actually the learner’s work.

However, research shows that the best way to reduce the risk of assessing online can be by designing online assessments correctly.  This webinar will provide a practical approach on how to manage the risk of online assessment by designing online assessments to reduce cheating and plagiarism.
