Abstract
A computer-based approach of academic online assessment has been implemented in electronic engineering course in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). The implementation of online assessment method is seen as an alternative to conventional assessment method used for years. Unlike the conventional approach, the online assessment does not require the students and lecturer to be in one place for the purpose of evaluation. The online assessment system enables the ease-of-use performance, functionality and flexibility in such a way that lecturers are able to ensure and maintain the objective of specified assessment. The purpose of this chapter is to present a first attempt in implementing the online assessment to first year students in electronic engineering course. This study was implemented to investigate the effectiveness of using e-learning platform as an assessment tool. The result obtained from online assessment is then compared with the paper-based assessment in term of students’ performance and the difficulty of questions. It is concluded that the implementation of this online assessment is an effective means to hold an assessment, and thus, could become an alternative to the conventional assessment approach.
