Large-scale paper-based examinations (PBEs) in computing education frequently emphasize rote memorization, thereby misaligning instructional objectives with assessment techniques. Such incongruities hinder the preparation of students for real world challenges in both industry and academia by inadequately evaluating higher-order cognitive abilities. Often, educators are deterred from implementing comprehensive skills assessment due to the perceived complexity and resource-intensive grading processes involved.To mitigate these limitations, this paper introduces an exam mode as an integral feature of the open-source learning platform Artemis. Designed for both local and cloud-based deployment, this exam mode incorporates anti-cheating protocols, automates the grading of diverse exercise types, and features double-blind manual grading to ensure assessment integrity. It fosters the evaluation of complex cognitive skills while substantially reducing the administrative load on faculty.This paper substantiates the effectiveness of the Artemis exam mode through widespread institutional adoption, demonstrated by over 50 successful computer-based examinations (CBEs). An in-depth case study involving 1,700 undergraduate software engineering students offers key insights, best practices, and lessons learned. This research not only pioneers the documentation of a secure, scalable, and reliable exam system at an institutional scale but also marks a seminal contribution to modernizing assessment strategies in computing education, with a particular focus on constructive alignment.

“…In their works, Shen et al [15] emphasizes the importance of adjustment and updating in accordance with feedback from students for the properly execution of online exams. Zhang [21] showed that it obtains rapid increase on number of students in online education and examination system. They associated the reason of this increasing with the time and space independence of study.…”

In modern life, information technology has entered into almost every area of people's daily lives and become an important and undeniable part of business, educational and personal life. Thus, technological innovations that became widespread in political, economic, institutional and cultural fields are also being widespread in the educational field. Until recently the existing technical shortcomings, the problems of real-time operation of systems, the difficulty and expensiveness of providing the necessary system were making it almost impossible to apply these technological innovations to education and examination systems.At the present day, studying in various schools and courses in order to fulfill the needs of life, improve ourselves and our lives is essential for us. Eventually, exams are administered in various ways to measure people's level of education, practical and theoretical knowledge and abilities. In the traditional education system, trainers and learners should adapt to each other in terms of time and venue and they have to fit in the same place at the same time. This particularly leaves learners in the lurch in their personal life and force them education priority scheduling. Despite this situation, it makes impossible to receive training for working people and people with disabilities and also makes it difficult for learners to develop themselves.Web-based learning and online examination systems are able to deliver the required web content to the user on all devices with web browsers such as desktop computers, tablet computers, and even some televisions. Because of high sales and maintenance fees, deficiency of existing properties on fulfilling the needs of the institution, inability of adding new features of commercial systems make it disadvantageous to use them. In the open source systems, obligations for the institution to pay to the developer company for eliminating the problems that may occur in using process, insufficiency of technical documentation and difficulties on developing software for these reasons, these systems are also not preferred. The goal of our work is to develop an institution-specific, user-friendly web-based online examination system that minimizes operating costs, allows the institution to add new features easily by expert teams, meets the needs of the institution, integrates the current learning management system. We have developed our application in accordance with the requirements of the Distance Learning Center of Kırıkkale University using the contemporary software (Asp.NET MVC5, Angular JS, Bootstrap, Microsoft SQL Server 2014) techniques.

“…It is very urgent to design and achieve an exam system which can finish automatic grading of operating questions in OFFICE software of as well as the objective ones. However, exam systems are difficult to deal with functions accurately [4]. Testing the students through the LAN is also one of the most difficult challenges in E-learning, as part of the modern development in the technology of education systems.…”

online examination is an effective solution to the level evaluation problem for computer basic operations. This paper proposed an online examination system for computer basic operations, especially, Microsoft Office software operations. The system mainly achieved functions including making exams intelligently, collecting and marking documents submitted automatically in the exam by the database, socket, ado and VBA program methods. This system supported some kinds of Microsoft Office software including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. The actual running result showed the system could help teachers to improve work efficiency and students to improve software operations by the way of online actual operation in computers. The system has been running in the USTL university computer lab center for some times which has already proved that it was very valid to solve level evaluation problem for Microsoft Office software operations.
