The Practices of Online Assessment in a Digital Device in the Context of University Training: The Case of Hassan II University

This research presents online assessment in a digital device in the context of university training, aimed at improving their practices with emerging technologies based on an experiment with students from Hassan II University. Or, online assessment is a systematic process that helps measure the knowledge and skills of learners through multiple technological tools in a digital device. Indeed, digital devices intend to revolutionize higher education with the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Nevertheless, digital devices pose the problem of student identity verification during online assessment. In reality, automated online assessment systems are extremely vulnerable to cheating. So, our aim of this research is to explore, firstly, the types of online assessment that could be implemented in a digital device and secondly, how to verify the identity of the student during an online course on a digital device? The sample of our experiment consists of (N = 108) students from the Hassan II University of Casablanca, divided into two classes of the ITEF and MIMPA Masters and, our study was based on an online questionnaire for (N = 37) teachers at Hassan II University in Casablanca. The results obtained is to put into practice in digital devices diagnostic evaluations and formative evaluations using biometric methods for identity verification with a limited number. However, biometrics is inapplicable in summative assessments due to the problem of massiveness and hindrances in the online exam. For this reason, measures must be put in place to promote the smooth running of the online assessment.
