Student and Instructor Experiences With a Computer-Based Testing Facility

Abstract: In this work, we explore how a large-scale introduction of computer-based testing has impacted students and instructors. The College of Engineering at the University of Illinois has been operating a Computer-Based Testing Facility (CBTF) for four years now, and the CBTF has matured into a fixture of our College. In Fall 2017, the CBTF served 21 courses from seven different departments and over 6,000 unique students. Over 52,000 exams were proctored, including 3,500 final exams. This paper summarizes key findin… Show more

“…The quizzes are organized on the LMS, hence automatic evaluation is performed. This reduces the workload for the teaching staff significantly (which corresponds with experiences mentioned in [8]). The quizzes are time limited, hence forcing the students to put appropriate effort in understanding what they are doing, in supplementing their notebook and in structuring the information during the experiment.…”

“…By providing a pool which is large enough, by randomly picking questions from that pool and by randomizing the question type, content and answer possibilities (when appropriate) for each individual student, unique quiz setups are created for each student. This approach, which is quite similar with the approaches mentioned in [8], avoids fraud. Moreover, the quiz is held in the laboratory while the teaching assistant supervises the event as mentioned in [9].…”

“…Online classes frequently rely on computerbased exams, including the recent shift to online teaching due to Covid-19. CS students often prefer computerized-assessments over paper-assessments mainly for the potential flexibility to choose an exam time [53], the ease of typing faster to edit code (compared to pen and paper) [40], as well as the auto-correction of syntax, unit tests, and debuggers from Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) [1,52].…”
