Online examinations offer a mix of benefits and drawbacks. On the plus side, they are incredibly convenient, allowing students to take tests from anywhere with an internet connection. They also provide immediate feedback through automated grading systems, save costs on physical logistics, and are environmentally friendly by reducing paper use. However, online exams present challenges such as increased opportunities for cheating in the absence of in-person proctoring, technical issues that can disrupt the testing process, and concerns about fairness due to varying levels of access to technology. Additionally, they may lack the ability to assess practical skills and could raise data privacy concerns. Balancing these factors is key to optimizing the online examination system.
