Electronic exams are exams that are conducted on a computer. They can offer benefits such as ease of marking, reduced need to read illegible handwriting, and time savings.

Challenges

Many innovations face social, political and technical challenges. Objections emphasize the unreliability of computer equipment or the potential for cheating. Some hacks cool the computer to 0 Celsius, allowing the contents yo be preserved for about 45 seconds. [10] This is irrelevant if the exam is published after the assessment and open source software is used (since the material is in the public domain). [11] These criticisms have been answered by a risk tree comparison with paper-based examinations, finding that typing and handwriting in examinations are similarly secure. [12]

The challenges of e-exams are usability, increased stress due to unfamiliarity with e-exam systems, and inadequate functionality. [5]
