Abstract

As we move towards twenty-first century learning, which focuses in learner-centric education, an effective assessment mechanism is warranted for a better student engagement. Hence, this chapter describes various approaches of assessment tools that employs electronic devices for the learners' assessments such as worksheets, assignments, tutorial, essays, quizzes, etc. The main approaches that have been explored are online quizzes, mobile apps, and e-marking. These web-based assessment tools are easy to use and work well with Taylor's University's learning management platform (TIMES). These tools are effective for the lecturers to annotate, comment, and collaborate on leaners' assessment submissions through interactive features such as audio, video, and URL link. They also serve as a platform for lecturers to engage with the learners throughout the learning processes and monitor their progress. This approach results in learner-centric education where learning is personalised and flexible and meaningful learning takes place.
