Abstract

COVID forced our hand along with those of other institutions to pivot not only our teaching to an online delivery format, but also forced our hand when it came to assessment of our students.  In the background, there has been chatter around a move towards online assessment, but March 23rd, 2020, saw the start of the countdown for the HE (Higher Education) sector, faced with the dilemma of how to effectively deliver assessments for our students.  During this session we'll explore the approach taken by other institutions & subject areas towards this mode of assessment, exploring some of the concerns & challenges faced in addition to any perceived & encountered benefits to students & staff in its delivery.  Is it truly all doom & gloom, plagued with worries around plagiarism or can we yield some positive outcomes from our experiences across the sector that could enhance the, now very much in motion, leap into online, open-book assessment?
