Abstract
This paper aims to examine the effectiveness of e-assessment in higher education from the perspective of students, and it also examines the student’s reaction to this method. There are many developing countries that have begun to explore technology-based assessment systems. The new assessment system has benefits to institutions and to students. The purpose of this paper is to understand the benefits students are receiving from e-assessment as well as the complications they are facing when institutions are adapting e-assessment and switching from traditional assessment. The paper is based on the views of a small sample of university students chosen randomly, which found mixed reactions to e-assessment. Although students appreciate the importance of e-assessment, they have some fears about technology-based examinations as all of them do not have an equal level of IT competence. Further research should be carried out to explore other aspects of e-assessment in the higher education context.
