Online Learning, Teaching and Assessments: Upholding Academic Standards and Quality Assurance

Gamage, K. A. A. (2022) Online Learning, Teaching and Assessments: Upholding Academic Standards and Quality Assurance. 3rd International Conference on Education Development and Studies (ICEDS-22), University of Hawaii at Hilo, USA, 9-11 March 2022.

Abstract

Closing universities and cancelling face-to-face teaching, learning and assessment have become an inevitable reality in many parts of the world as a result of the ongoing pandemic. The majority of the universities are now conducting degree programmes through online or hybrid forms of delivery, but maintaining academic standards and quality assurance procedures, has become significantly more challenging and complex. For example, invigilated assessments, often considered as more secure, are not an option given the current situation and detecting any cheating would be significantly challenging. In this presentation, I will review actions taken by universities to uphold high academic standards and quality assurance procedures, and also evaluate practices used by different universities globally in safeguarding academic integrity.
