What is E-Assessment?

E-assessment, or electronic assessment, is the use of information technology devices,

primarily computers, in the assessment of student ability and learning. It's also known as
computer-based assessment or computer-assisted assessment, and can include both
administering the assessment test and grading it. E-assessment is a useful tool for a variety of
reasons such as ease of use, flexibility, and quicker results than traditional paper and pencil
methods. E-assessment can be used in a range of settings such as elementary school, distance
education, and professional certification exams, and its use is increasing with many types of
standardized testing.

E-assessment is when an assessment is created, written, delivered and marked with

technology, usually a specialist assessment platform. In other words, any form of assessment
that uses technology for any part of the process. In many cases, this is the full end-to-end
assessment process of creation, delivery and marking of assessment on a computer. But the
term is often used to include just some components of the process i.e. on-screen marking or
test creation.

E-assessment is also referred to as online assessment, computer-based testing, computer-

based assessment – these terms are often used interchangeably. E-assessment can be used for
formative or summative assessments.
