Abstract

Digital assessment practices in higher education gained importance in the 21st century due to upsurge in the technological integration in the field of education. Its application further increased in face of COVID-19. The present study aims to narrate the digital assessment practices prevailing in the Indian higher education system and suggests the way forward. The study employs qualitative research with a narrative analysis of the semi-structured interview of 10 teachers teaching in universities. The study employed a convenient snowball sampling technique to select the interview participants. The results of the study revealed four themes and 12 sub themes indicating the perception of university teachers on digital assessment, prevailing digital assessment practices, and a way forward to the future applications. The study is limited to qualitative analysis. Future research may focus on strategies and technologies to enhance its use with an optimum secured online environment.
